Easily Dial Extensions on an iPhone

• Ryan

If you regularly call a number that requires you to enter an extension to contact the person you’re trying to reach, iOS has a hidden trick to simplify the job. In the appropriate entry in Contacts, at the end of the phone number, press the +*# button in the lower left corner, then hit ‘pause’ followed by the extension number. This will cause your phone to dial the number, wait two seconds, then automatically dial the correct extension whenever you call. If you need it to wait more than two seconds, you can hit ‘pause’ multiple times in the Contacts entry to prolong the delay.
