we have two phones we want to connect up to 18185 indirect service. In case
we have to ring abroad from the U.K..

The 18185 people give an *Access number*: 020 81 80 2828. So you ring that
and then you have to dial the destination number you want that's abroad.

I seem to remember many years ago doing a similar thing on a phone and if i
inserted some symbol like a '*' or something i could enter into the phone
the access number, then the symbol and then my destination number. So it
could set it up as a 'short cut' and it would dial out the whole thing for
me in one go. My phone is a nokia 6300 and my son's is a blackberry. (I
mention that in case some clever person actually knows what symbols are that
I have to put in).

I cannot think what this 'insertion of symbols' process is called, so I am
stuck as to how to put an entry in to google, to find out how to do it.
Grateful for any advice, thanks.

On the Nokia press star 3 or 4 times and a P or W will appear. The P
will give a pause for a few seconds and then automatically continue
with the number. The W or wait will prompt you to click 'send' at the
appropriate points. You can add multiple Ps / Ws

On the BlackBerry you need to type the first bit of the number then
click the 'BlackBerry Button' and choose 'Add Pause' or 'Add Wait'
from the menu.

Hope this helps
