Thank you – this is very useful to know. Of course, it doesn’t work if the proper digit string to be entered isn’t known in advance.

What I have had to do is enter the number I want to call, then insert commas to create pauses in my dialing string until the system answers, then enter the desired number to activate the feature. So for example I enter the string tor a weather service I use, then enter 10 commas to paust until the system answers, then enter the correct digits to activate the option I wish tu use. Once the call is connected, I cannot use tones to go to other choices.

If I call an interactive voice response system, I usually need to be able to enter digits and the pound key, at least. I found an indication via a Web search that FaceTime supports this, but it didn’t work when I tried it by typing digits while the FaceTime window had focus during a call. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
