pause for phone numbers

[frisco49ers]

Coming from BlackBerry this was simple, there was a pause button when entering numbers in addressbook with extension numbers. Is there an option on the Priv?

If it's not explicit in the dialer, usually long pressing the * key would add the wait (a few phones did it with the # key, but that's, I think, not as common).

Curious as to why you would need a paused button

Priv screen goes up.

You usually add pauses to dial extensions automatically. Dial a number, wait (while service picks up), dial extension. Nifty trick when you know the options to an automated service, too, like Credit Card Customer Service to speak to a representative fast.

I also came from BB - in Android, when you enter the number onto the contact record, insert a comma after the number and before the extension. No spaces, just a comma between the two.

Thanks for the help... This phone is getting better, still not as good as the BlackBerry 10 OS. IMO
