Two Extension-Adding Methods
There are two ways to add extension numbers to contacts.
If you could enter the extension as soon as the call is answered, use the Pause method.
If you have to wait for an automated message to finish, use the Wait method.
The contacts list can be opened from the phone dialer.
Tap the person’s name.
On the Phone app, the contact information slides into view.
On the Contacts app, the contact information page displays.
Tap the phone number field and place the cursor at the end of the phone number.
The on-screen keyboard appears.
Insert a single comma to the right of the phone number.
On some devices, including the comma may be replaced with aPausebutton.
Other devices may have both.
Save the contact information.
The next time you call that contact, their extension number automatically dials when the call is answered.
Normally, when automated phone systems are used, the call is answered almost immediately.
In some cases, however, the phone may ring once or twice before the automated system picks up.
If this is the case, insert more than one comma between the phone number and the extension number.
Each comma adds a two-second pause before the extension number is dialed.
