Have you tried calling T-Mobile and asking them? Or going to their website and look at some of the F.A.Q.'s perhaps? I didn't realize that they were that in-depth, but supposedly they are. Cortex seemed to find an excellent article on how to setup a GPRS connection. I'm sure it's there... possibly. Good luck and let us know how it went.

I spoke to a level 3 (Tier 3) support person in England just now. He stated that it's not a comma. He mentioned possibly a script on the terminal window but he stated that it would be strange to do it that way. Other than that he stated there really isn't a way to send a pause (this is T-Mobile talking). I am sure that someone, somehow will find a way to do this. The tier 2 support person offered to enter a "*" as this sends a "p" on Nokia phones. I may try this and see what happens... I'll get back with you on this.

UPDATED: No, that didn't work. Neither did the "#" key. I guess I will have to leave it to the England tech support person and state that it "can't" be done. Not yet anyway, until someone finds a tweak or something.

Just insert one or more lower case "p" to pause. On my voice mail, its two p's. This works on T-Mobile.

If you think you feel bad, I had to have my CIO show me up on this one. :oops:
