- The Moderator mentions how hitting # at various phases of a calling
- card call would speed the process. One question that I have not been
- able to answer myself is why it helps to hit # after entering an
- additional destination number for a calling card call (that is, after
- hitting # to terminate the first call). I can't think of a situation
- where it would be expecting more than 11 digits, but it definately
- waits for more. If you hit # after the 11th digit, you get a "Thank
- you for using AT&T" message right away. With no #, there is a timeout
- on the order of a few seconds. Does anyone know why this is?
