On the current WM Pro I'm using (the AT&T Tilt) pressing * twice coverts to a "P" and pressing three times gives a "W". This is great with the exception of our internal voicemail system which uses "**" as an escape sequence from the employee directory in order to listen to the voicemail.

It can't be done with the Pocket PC unless you preprogram the character sequence using waits between dialing the voicemail system and responding to the prompts. When ever I've tried to enter the ** manually, if I wait long enough between the characters to avoid them being converted to a pause, the voicemail system times out on the input.

With WM 2003 and 2005 (and I imagine 6) you can use a ','. So my voice mail numbers looks something like 123-456-7878,,#12348066#

I try to use this feature with the various meet-me lines that I use at work, and when it works it is wonderful. However, I have run into one particular MML number hosted by AT&T that for some reason p or comma (which I think are essentially the same thing) doesn't pause for 3 seconds, it pauses forever. For some reason the passcode numbers won't be dialed by the phone until after I have manually entered the code myself and connected to the call, then the phone dials the passcode again. It's acting like a w but is a p. From what I can tell, this seems to happen with MML lines where the 800 number is shared and has multiple passcodes to support multiple conference calls at the same time. Other MML lines from AT&T that only support one passcode work fine. Very odd behavior, I am interested in any suggestions folks may have.

According to
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...neCalls_SP.pdf

p introduces 3 seconds pause in dialing,

w letter introduces MANUAL pause in dialing.

In the last mode to continue dialing we are supposed to press Talk button after every manual pause.
