Yes, and the commas you put before those extra numbers the longer the iPhone waits before putting in the number. This will not work well for you if those first extra numbers keep changing, unless you put in a separate contact named so that you can tell which one you have. For example, Dallas Area Rapid Transit has an option on their computer called Where's My Ride? I put in a separate contact and deliberately named it Where's My Ride? instead of calling it Dallas Area Rapid Transit. I hope this makes sense. I did this because the options for calling up that particular choice was different from the scheduling choice; sometimes I want scheduling and sometimes I want to check on the ride. Also, I had to do it over traffic and other noises, and their awful computer kept responding to any noise it heard.
