10. Touch Tones

Your phone can generate various sounds, called Touch

Tones, when the keys are pressed.
Touch Tones can be used for many automated, over-

the-phone services such as checking bank balances,

airline arrival and departure times, and using voice mailbox

options. Touch Tones can be sent only when a call is

active.

What is DTMF?
Touch Tones are also known as “DTMF”, which means

Dual Tone Multi-Frequency, and they are generated either

manually or automatically.

Note: Individual Touch Tones can be sent manually only if

0HQX
