How to store PBX numbers with extension?
-
Let's say someone has the number 617-555-0147 ext 666.
Obviously to reach this person you dial the number and then enter 666 when the PBX answers.
How do you store the complete number including the extension on a smartphone, CRM, vcf file, O365, softphone or even the PBX phonebook?
Is there a standard? It was possible, without any problems, back in the days of AT/Hayes commands.
Or is everyone having their own DID nowadays?

I believe on a smartphone you can store the number followed by a comma and then the extension number. The comma causes a pause and then completes the extension afterwards.

On mobile phones.
A comma is a pause A semi colon is a wait.
Examples.
8005551212,101 - pauses ~3 seconds then dials the 101
8005551212;101 - waits indefinitely for you to tell it to dial the 101 by punching a button. -

Looks like I only have 0-9 * # to enter a number with. -

Looks like I only have 0-9 * # to enter a number with.Just tested, you can enter other values when you dial.
Change the 123 button
Now press*and you will get a selection.But, when the phone actually dials, it strips them, so it does not work.
I thought I saw a patch note a year or two ago on this.

@JaredBusch Thanks for giving it a shot!

Yup I did recall seeing this.. It is not "simple", but it is supported for setting up speeddials.

How did you do a screen capture of the phone's display?

Nevermind - never knew that was an option
