BT30 - Day 06 - Call Extension Numbers

BT30 is my personal project to contribute to buzztouch: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=2348BA49BA5737C92E3D9B5&tid=2348BA49BA5737C92E3D9B5 BT30 - Day 06 - The ability to call Extension Numbers Description: This one is unbelievably easy but took me an arm and a leg to figure out. I have a client that has the same phone number but different extensions for his employees: example: 123-872-6449 EXT 908, or 909, ect. He wanted a menu list row of all employees and numbers, what was I supposed to do, make them all call the same number? -------------- INSTRUCTIONS -------------- In order to use the call us plugin and make it so that when you tap to make the call it auto dials the extension, you do this: Regular number: 123-456-7890 Number with extension 1234: 1234567890p1234 p means "pause" and then continue to dial 1234 The pause will allow for the call to connect to the point of allowing extensions to be added, when in reality, the code only thinks its pausing the dial sequence and starting again. Sometimes it is better to have two p's for some phones as some take longer to "connect": 1234567890pp1234 Just type that in exactly into the phone call plugin and it will work. No frameworks, no special flags, the phone will know how to handle it. You can now dial extension numbers! Hope this helps someone, David

Wicked, now I can send happy users (or complaints) directly to the old witch who took ages to pay my bill ;) You don't really look like Santa Claus though. I only got smiley socks this year, so these are the best presents. Cheers, Paddy
