Touch Tone Strings
Touch Tone strings can be used for sending and receiving
information with your phone. For example, you can store
your office voice mailbox number, along with your pass-
word for easy access to your messages.

You can store a whole digit sequence in a memory loca-
tion and send it as Touch Tones for frequently-used
strings of numbers.
These number strings can also be linked with other stored
phone numbers. Read on for more information on linking
strings with stored numbers.
