Adding Pauses or Waits
Calls to automated systems can require you to press keys to
navigate menus, or to enter a password or account number.
You can store these phone numbers, with special pause or
wait characters, in a contact record to make dialing easier.
Note:
This procedure uses the QWERTY keyboard and
command keys. Rotate the phone and slide it open to
access the QWERTY keyboard.

pause of four seconds, and count as 2 digits.
