On a cell phone, instead of dialing a phone number, then entering an extension, or selecting menu options when prompted, you can use commas to create pauses between numbers. Each comma entered creates a two-second pause, and you can use multiple commas to create longer pauses.
For example, if you need to call 1-800-123-4567, then enter extension 901 when prompted to reach a specific department or person, you can enter “18001234567,,,901” on your cell phone. When dialed, your phone calls 1-800-123-4567 pauses for six seconds, then automatically enters 901 for the extension.
