Home phones which can store pauses in their stored telephone numbers
3 Answers
Hi all,
Just changed to Virgin who charge an excessive sum of money for International phone calls so I got on to http://www.18185.co.uk/index2.php and signed up: calls to Canada only cost 0.5p even from my mobile (mind you you still have to pay for the local call).
In any case, my question is ... I have to dial an 11 digit number and then wait and then the number in canada(say) which is 13 digits. 24 in all but I have to pause in the middle for a 5 second prompt from their machine.
Is there a house phone (not a mobile) out there which will allow me to store a 'pause' digit that will not corrupt my 'number'?
Thanks

Examples readily to my hand include BT Studio 1100 and Binatone MD750. However you may find the problem is the length of the number; both these models are limited to 20 digits per stored number.
I haven't tested this but is it possible to dial a stored number and follow it with a second stored number without breaking the connection?
i.e. memory1 ~ wait 5s ~ memory2
