How to dial in tone mode

Many wired push-button phones, there are special switches, designated as the "Pulse-Tone". If you are connected to the modern electronic exchanges that support tone dialing mode, keep the switch in position "Tone". If tone mode is necessary only for calls to reference and similar services, to use the switch inconvenient it will be to wear out, moreover, some devices react to changes of its position only after the tube is placed and removed again.

In wireless phones, especially the DECT standard, the same switching is done via the menu. But the use of this method with calls to answering services also uncomfortable.

Then switch your cell phone into this mode to make the touch tones when you press a key was heard directly from its dynamics (if such a mode the device). Bring the speaker to the handset microphone wired apparatus. Typing on the keyboard cell phone the appropriate numbers, then press the snooze button to avoid the call. There are also special devices for acoustic transmission of a DTMF signal beeper.
