John [email protected] Sent by: To: [email protected], [email protected] owner-emc-pstc@majordo cc: mo.ieee.org Subject: Use of the # button on telephone dial 03/20/2003 04:23 PM Please respond to JPR3 Hello All: Sorry if this is a little off-topic, but is anyone aware of any central office features, or other network features, that use the # button on the standard telephone DTMF keypad? I know of some features that use the * button, but I am unaware of any that use #. I have been asked about assigning this button to a special feature, but I want to make sure that there are not other conflicting uses in some countries, or any prohibitions on its use.
