Can Special Characters (~W) be typed from dialpad? 3

[mjoetech]

I would like to set up some personal speed dial buttons to include a phone number and then a "~W". Can the ~W be typed by the user on his dialpad? I know it works from a group or enhanced, but then the user cant change it on the fly without involving a technician. The system is an s8700 with 4.0 CM.
Thanks!!

~p = Pause for 1.5 seconds.
~w = Wait for dial tone.
~m = Change to outpulse DTMF digits at the end-to-end rate. ~s = Start suppressing display of the digits being outpulsed.
~W = Wait indefinitely for dial tone.

Not that it helps you, but using the comma will give you a pause. Example: 912015551212,,,,123456. At least I think it does. That is how I tell people to store the conference bridge in their contacts list.

Thanks for this info, but what button (2420) is the comma?

not sure on a 2420. I have 96XX phones and when you build your contact list there is an option to click 'more' then 'symbol'. In the symbol menu there is the comma and every other symbol
