If you are accessing an interactive voice response system that asks you to enter a code, pressing
Command-Dial will cause Phone Amego to send touch tones instead of initiating a new call.
This same technique can be used anywhere Phone Amego allows you to dial. If you have a saved
access code you would like to enter, you can select that text and hold Command as you right
click to invoke the "Dial with Phone Amego" application service.
Touch-Tone URLs
Phone Amego recognizes URLs of the form <touchtone:ddd> to send a sequence of dialing
characters as touch-tones. If you use touch-tones frequently to send codes to a conference
bridge or voicemail system, you can create a simple document or web page with clickable links to
send these codes. For example:
<a href="touchtone:123#">Send Access Code</a>
Will display a link like this: Send Access Code.
Clicking on this link will cause Phone Amego to dial the corresponding touch-tone sequence. With
a little ingenuity, you can replace those "quick reference guides" or "cheat sheets" with clickable
documents.
Interactive Touch-Tone Response
If you want to dial some digits spontaneously:
(1) Open the call window (Control-Shift-C)
(2) Type the digits you want to dial on your numeric keypad (or keyboard)
(3) Press Command-Enter.
Phone Amego will send the keys you pressed as touch tones, clear your previous input, and
leave the Call Window open ready to send more. With the Call Window active on your desktop
and a call already in progress, you can use the numeric keypad on your keyboard as a telephone
keypad. Just press Enter to send any digits you type. If Phone Amego cannot tell a call is in
progress, you'll need to press Command-Enter so Phone Amego will know to send touch tones
instead of starting a new call.
If you have selected Disconnect During Call to allow a Bluetooth headset to work with your
iPhone, you will not be able to send touch tones while Phone Amego is disconnected from your
phone.
