    I see that the voicemail string can be changed on my Trophy, but don't see the typical comma available to add a pause. I'd like to be able to dial my voicemail, wait a few seconds, then have the pincode typed in so I don't have to keep putting in the pin #. Is there a way to do this?

    to be honest we tried to do this a while back with out success.

    try these commands.

    # = pause
    * = pause
    p = pause(not caps)
    P = Pause ( caps)
    W = wait

    When in dialpad, tap and hold period (.) for a couple seconds and an option for comma (,) will pop up.

    Thanks! I've tried one comma, which adds about 1 second, but adding more commas doesn't appear to do anything. I've added 4 commas so far. The code is still firing before the prompt...any thoughts?

    well adding more then one should add more time.

    a pause is actually 1-2 secs .

    Im not sure what else to do

    try adding a (-) or a (x) between your (,)

    push and hold (.) to get the X

    Yeah, it apparently doesn't work, for some reason. If I listen immediately after I dial, I hear the tones pressed after about 1 second. I've used 12 commas now and no change in pause length,

    did you try adding the (X) between the Commas?

    ,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x

    or

    add a (-)
    ,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,

    OR

    try adding a SPACE by pushing the (space button) between commas

    Unfortunately, the same result using x or - between the commas. They all actually get taken out in the voicemail number display...you don't see anything but the commas.

    This is sad - I found in another thread that you can go to Word or some other program, type in the number with p's instead of commas, then copy & paste into the phone field. I tried that, which actually will paste the string with "p's" and all, but it still acts exactly the same way - the pin # punches before the call connects! I tried several p's in the string. This may help someone with a different brand of phone, but for the Trophy this is truly frustrating!!!
