Hey I have a slightly off topic question. I programmed my work voice-mail number in winmo and I programmed in the pauses that it needs as well as the password to actually log me on and just start listening to the voice-mail. In android it seems to use a different format for pauses. in winmo i have the number entered like this 8001234567pp1234#p123456# The letter p is what provides the pause i need. So can anyone point me to the android equivalent? Thanks!

For those who need pause and wait characters, here is what I found worked after much T&E:

Pause - waits a few seconds before proceeding: use a comma

Wait - requires action by caller to proceed: use a semicolon

When you dial a contact with the Wait symbol, a pop up window will come up to ask you if you want to enter the next set of numbers.

If you are entering the contact using the Android keypad, the bottom left key will be marked "*#(" - when you select it a new keypad comes up which allows you to pick "Pause", "Wait" or other keys.

Hope it saves others digging...
