Mobile Call Control and opening a door phone

[rpavlinich]

I have a user that needs to open their gate phone from his twinned cell phone(he's a yard supervisor) and I know I can get system dial tone by pressing **, but the problem is that the gate phone requires ** as the code to be passed to it to open. If I dial ** ** then it basically flashes hook, then flashes again and the call is reconnected. Any ideas?

Thank you guys for all the input. I ordered the part to change it on the doorphone. And westi, I tried that and it failed because of exactly what intrigrant said- the call has to be disconnected before the doorphone can be dialed again.

I am afraid that is true.

I didn't think that you actually are on the call and have to have the doorphone free before you can use the shortcode.

You could take mobile call control off the user then try with ** as the IPO should ignore it at that point.
Of course then the user can no longer use mobile call control for anything else either.
