This could be very damaging and even if the retrieved info from using this particular information does not yield any immediate gains such as bank account numbers and the like - just having info such as your birth date or social security number can be quite damaging indeed. Safeguard yourself against identity theft! Good luck. Lisa – don’t ever post personal info like this on the world wide web!

BB8820 on AT&T here and the x trick worked fine. I put PHONENUMBERxCONFCODE# and it merged it all into 1 dialing string. The only downside to this is you can only have 1 pause and 1 follow up extension. Contact #s allow MUCH more flexibility. In the Smart Dialer, it seems you have to use the Menu button to get Pause and Wait added. I can find NO hoteys to do the same. In the Contact EDIT screen, if you go to a numeric only field like Phone Numbers and then press ,(N) or !(B) you get a pause and a wait respectively. You do NOT need to press ALT since it goes into numeric only mode as previously mentioned. In here you can also get crazy with the commands. I have one that dials me into our IT Change Control call every morning and it looks kinda like this in Outlook: 800-xxx-xxxx,,1,242643#,1,,#,# , = 2 second pause ,, = 5 second pause Thats: Phone Number 5 second pause "1" to join a conference call 2 second pause conference code (242643 = C H A N G E on phone keypad) followed by # 2 second pause 1 to confirm conf code # is correct 5 second pause # (to skip prompt for my name and start recording) 2 second pause for me to speak my name and then # again to finish recording my name. I have the same Dialing sequence tied into the Voice Dialer in my Acura TL's bluetooth system for days when I am running late and still in the car dialing in. If by chance you have a newish Acura, you just say "pause" when entering the phone number into the phonebook. Thanks for the tips.

FYI the N and the B do pause and wait,respectively on a 8320 Curve. I never thought about using the menu key to insert a pause. Oh well live and learn! Thanks again. Thanks for the simple directions.

If you create the appt with the phone number, followed by the letter x and then the conference number passcode, then the # sign, it should work. When you dial, it will pop up a window prompting you to enter the "extension" when you ready. Hit enter or confirm the selection to go. Example: 800-555-5555 x55555# I usually put this in the Outlook Appt field for "location" so it's easy for the attendees to find.
