Have you tried the same to check your credit card bills? You dial the number and the automatic system tells you to enter your credit card number. Do you think the comma system can work with credit card inquiry number?

You have been well-informed about the comma, and I have recently tested the system on a teleconference line that demands a password, then a menu option
to verify my choice. It worked flawlessly. You can hear the numbers being
entered, and they sound very natural. No menu option was activated until the
automated prompts had been allowed to run on for a second or two. In my
case, I had to call the number in question once or twice to figure out
precisely what menu options to pre-program. Here's what I did:

1. In my contact for the number in question, I entered the phone number for
the teleconference line as usual. The numeric keypad used to enter phone
numbers features a shift key. Once I'd entered the phone number, I
double-tapped that shift key to pull up other options.
2. Certain punctuation marks appeared in place of the numbers. I did not
enter a space, but simply entered comma immediately after the teleconference
number.
3. In my example, I followed this comma with the teleconference password,
plus the pound symbol to expedite the menu.
4. I then entered another comma, then the number 1 (which was the menu
choice to verify the password I had provided).

It was that straight-forward. Please let me know if I misunderstood your
question, confused you even further or need to provide any clarification.

Best,
Michelle

Hi,

With an iPhone, how does one go about entering numeric keypad responses to
navigate within  an automated system?

I've heard one can use a comma after the phone number. The comma introduces
a pause; several commas produce a longer pause.

But not all automated systems are one layer deep, and some require a fair
degree of interactivity within the system before one knows which is the
desired numeric response, or series of responses.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Keith
