Just so someone later does not use this example, the * can be used for a pause but how long?
*1 is one second, *2 is two seconds, you need a digit beyond the * when used as a pause.
You also use ** when you want to send a *.
For instance if you wanted to unblock Caller Id AND put a pause in a certain speed dial bin for 1-800-555-9999, you would put in:
* * 8 2 * 1 1 8 0 0 5 5 5 9 9 9 9. It dials a * then the *82 string, then waits one second, then dials the 11 digits.
If you just wanted to insert a pause in a Dial 9 speed dial bin where it took a while for a Centrex line to actually be ready to dial:
9 * 2 1 800 555 1212. Dials 9, waits two seconds to be sure of a line seizure, dials the number.
