It's good to know the comma doesn't work for this technique -- I thought it might since the pauses in the address book appear as commas. A few of my frequently-called contacts need the pauses too, so I just went with a speed dial app that pulls contacts from the address book. I use "Speed Dial with Photo". In the address book, while you're entering the number, you can hit the "+*#" button, which will bring up another page of buttons containing pause and wait. Pause will pause a short amount of time (you can put in a couple if you need more time); wait will actually wait for you to hit dial to finish dialing the number. Hope this helps!

Is there a way to add an extension to be automatically dialed once a number is called? I was told I could put a comma (which would act as a pause) after the number & then add the extension # in, but that did not work :( Anyone have ideas?
