How to key in command digit to generate DTMF during a call?

I am using Wizard with WM5.0. The phone software is the default one.
When you dial a service hotline, you normally hear the voice prompt: "English Press 1, French press 2"... How to press the 1 and send the DTMF touch tone over to the service provider? I tried press 1 but there is no DTMF tone generated?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer my question.

Strange - it's working (and has always worked with all the ROM's) great with my Wizard. In addition, Menu / Options /Phone / Keypad doesn't have any effect on what is sent out to the other party.
Try doing this with as many DTMF-based services as possible to find out whether it's a problem with the particular service you've called up or a generic one.

In the phone app, you should press "keypad" button to bring back the phone keys during the call to generate DTMF.

Hi, Menneisyys,
I have tried to call two different hotline. I failed to get throught the first question such as : "Press 1 for English, Press 2 for French...". It seems that these two service provider do not have problem as I can call them by my land wired phone.
Hi, micvario,
Yes, I am able to go to the Keypad. But pressing any digits does not send any thing to the hotline...
Very strange....

Hi, when you use the keypad, do digits appear on the screen and can you also hear the tones from the speaker? If so, I suspect the problem may be with the signal quality..

Hi, micvario,
Yes. The digit appear on screen and there is tone from the speaker....

ok,
1) you can call your own landline to listen if tones are really transmitted
2) check signal strenght; i guess if its zero or one bar only, you may not notice in speech but it could be a problem for tone processing at the other end... try to increase and try again..
3) if there are loud background sounds like music, traffic, this may also interfere with the tones..

Hi, micvario,
I made a mistake last time.... (Haven't try this for a few days).
When I press "1", "2".... during a call, I can't hear any DTMF tone generated.
Is mostly a hardware error or software error?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem
I'm having the same problem. Since I'm using PV4 when I press the keypad I can hear the tone, but no DTMF are sent to the other side of the line.

No DTMF during call
I'm having the same problem. I can hear the tones and the numbers are displayed but not sent across the line. So, I can't delete voice mail. HELP! I also had some one on a voice call tell me they couldn't hear the tones.

Anything further on this? I have the same problem on my desire z. Can hear the tone on my end but no recognition on the receiving end...

incoming call while dialing

Hi,
This is my first pocketpc phone edition so I don't know if it's common to all of them or just on the niki.
If I initiate a call and on the same second I have an incoming call, I find myself in the situation where I can't answer it...
The dialer is still on the initiate call screen and I can't seem to switch to the incoming call - not with the send button, even closing the dialer doesn't do anything.
If anyone can help me, I would realy appreciate.
Thanks.

why ringtones only ringing for 17 secconds

no matter what ringtones i use they only ring for 17 seconds is there a setting or way to alter this.
and how can i silence an incoming call. id like the option to answer the call or press a silence button so the other caller still
thinks the call is ringing and that the call has not just been rejected.
thanks

Sounds like your calls get diverted to voicemail after 20 seconds (takes approx 3 seconds for the phone to ring on an incomming call). Setting your divert can be network dependant, but if you go into phone settings, there is an option called "divert" which yoy can change. Be warned - if on vodafone or other similar networks, the network handles the call diversion. However if you change this, you may be charged for the phone diverting calls to voice mail.
To mute the phone on incomming call, simply turn the phone face down on the desk. This should mute the ringer. If this does not work, you need to install HD Tweek or similar to set this option.

yes mate your right my phone does get divertd to voicemail but i was getting 29 seconds i think it was on my nokia n95 when that was set to divert. on orange you cant set divert on or of by the phone you have to ring the network but cancel divert.
as for the silence calls on flip if i have the phone in my pocket and someone calls the flip does not work as i have no surface to lay it flt on i just tried it .
so if anyone else has no solution the only thing i can think of is
1 cancel call divert with my network and hope there is a third party software that can manage my voice mail . any recommendations ?
2 any recommendations of any software to silence calls by press of a button ?
thanks

ok i managed to get the ringtone to ring longer before it goes to voicemail .
the settings for that are acually in the phone ardsar says but how can i get the
phone to silince callls without turning the phone over .
im looking for a press of a button method.
thanks

Press one of the volume buttons when your phone is ringing

blimey so easy eh when you know how .
cheers mate appreciated

or you can dial this number
**61*insert your voicemail number here*11*30#
if you then hit the call button and enter this your phone will ring for 30 seconds before going to voice mail.
cheers

end call and answer new incoming call

There is a couple of things i used to be able to do.
1- when on a call and get another call, it used to pop up an option to drop existing call and accept new call - it won't let me do that now. i have to dismiss the call then call back, or accept call and other is on hold. This is a reall problem if i call someone, they don't answer, but call back while i am leaving message. If i accept new call, the voicemail call is on hold in background.
Also when i first got my phone, the appointment reminder would display the phone number of the appointment, which made it easy to call and say i was running late. it's disapeared - maybe when i updated stock rom with updated stock rom (hong kong I believe)
Anyone know how to restore hese functions? call waiting one very important.

Call Waiting

Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I cannot click back over to the original call when using call waiting. I get the notification when I am on a call, that a second call is coming in and I get the options (ignore, send to voice, or answer). If I answer, I am never able to switch back over to the original call after I am done. Any ideas?

n my phone when I receive another call I get the options to "Answer", "Ignore", "End and Answer"
If I answer the banner at the top displays the current caller's name and call time but gives an option to "Tap to Swap".
This is what SHOULD be there emphasis on should.

Whenever the second phone call ends, I have to press the drop-down menu and take the first call off "Hold". It's really annoying and should automatically occur once the second caller hangs up.

Odd. Mine just switches back over automatically.
