I just tried this as well, and the semicolon does work as advertised.
After placing your call, wait until the call is picked up on the other
end. You'll now see the standard numeric keypad. If you hit the hide
button at the bottom of this screen, you'll see a dial button, which I
also think is at the bottom of the screen, and if you hit this, the
numbers you entered after the semicolon will be dialled.
I realize the article I pointed to used labels like pause and wait that
we don't see with VoiceOver, but it also mentions the comma and the
semicolon, and I'd given instructions earlier on the list pointing out
that the comma will show up where the #4 key is and the semicolon will
show up where the #6 key is after hitting the shift key.

I just tested this on my work number where I have to dial in a code to check my

The semicolon does nothing.
I've only ever had luck using commas to put in pauses and having to experiment
to see how many pauses I needed to delay the number entry until the system is
ready for the next set of numbers.
VoiceOver doesn't use the labels referred to in that article.
To get to the extra punctuation, you hit the shift key which is in the lower
left corner of the keypad when editing or adding a number in contacts.
After you press shift, pause, is the comma, which is in the spot the 4 wold be
and semicolon is in the spot wehre the 6 would be. The Star is where the 7
would be and the pound is where the 9 would be and the plus is where the 0
would be.
After each comma or whatever you enter, you have to hit shift again to add
another, and so on.
HTH,
Richard

I haven't done this in a while, and I'm not sure how to test it at the
moment, but there should be a button in the lower left corner of the
screen that will end the wait and dial the remaining numbers. Here's a
page that describes the situation:

When on a call, how do you get the numbers following the semicolon to enter? On an
old school phone, you would press the enter key, sometimes executed "pressing a
joy stick.

When entering a number into a contact, the star or * key becomes a shift key.
Double tapping the shift key will let you enter a comma where the 4 key would
be and a semicolon where the 6 key would be. You can also enter a * where the 7
key is normally located and a # where you'd find the 9 key.

If I understand what you're looking for, I think you want a comma to give you a
pause between entering numbers. The more commas the longer the pause. A
semicolon will throw up a dialogue for you to double tap on when you want to
enter the next set of numbers.

Greetings. Can someone refresh me on how to automatically enter extra
numbers when making a phone call, such as when entering numbers in an
automated phone system? I know that I can use commas to separate each
menu choice, but I recall hearing a way to enter a group of numbers at
once with the pound key, and then double tapping to enter the next
group of numbers. I am training a couple of students on how to do this
and want to make sure I've got my information right. The extra numbers
would be added onto the end of a phone number in the contacts. I use
this method to enter account numbers for my bank and credit card but
want a refresher on the process.
Thanks,
Wayne Merritt
