Adding Phone number with a PAUSE before Extension
Trying to add a contact to the phone book.
I understand that I have to add it on MyOoma web portal then sync to get it on the handset.
But when I add the phone number of the company and I and to add a pause before the extension of the contact,
I get rejected if I put a comma (,) ?
What do you use to add a PAUSE to the number sequence.
BTW, this is also use frequently on international calls to add a PAUSE after the country code.
So it should be straight forward but when I called Customer Service, I was told that it is not possible???
Please, advise.

Re: Adding Phone number with a PAUSE before Extension
I believe that adding pauses has not yet gone beyond a suggestion for a future feature.

You can add to the previous requests under the suggestions portion of the forum. Additional requests can help improve the likelihood of a feature being added in the future.
I use Panasonic handsets which do have that feature.
BTW, Ooma Office does not use the Ooma handsets. It uses Ooma Linx modules instead. That allows users to basically choose any handset they want. My two-line Panasonic along with the Linxes, allows me to access the advanced calling features of Premier.

I too want this feature. FYI, it doesn't have to do with the phones. You cannot even add the pause to the contact. I want to use the echo to tell ooma to call my conference bridge, use the pause and enter the conference code. This is a very basic feature that all contact management SW has except for ooma.

Does Ooma have any plans to add this option to call forwarding? I would like this as well.
