such as voicemail and then save the number to a 1-touch dialing location.
Dialing codes instruct the receiving system to pause, wait, bypass, or
accept the numbers that follow them in the dialing string.
Note: Each voicemail service can vary. The examples and steps
that follow are for clarification. Check with your wireless provider
if you have specific questions about your voicemail service.
