This thread has valueable information on the speeddial string.
I would like to know more about the default length of the pause created. There is no information available on this.
My customers need the additional dial information to access the IVR system. It worked for a short period but now for some reason they cannot use the speeddial to feed the access codes.
FYI my customers receive a vcard when they signup and the vcard contains their personal speeddial string. In the vcard I tried using comma, capital P and lowercase p
Other brands like BB, android, symbian and windows mobile work fine

If you use the “wait” function, the “End” button splits into two buttons, one being “End” and one being “Dial …” with … being the next set of numbers. Using this, you can enter calling card numbers as such:

1-8005556666;2222222;0841234567

In the above example, 8005556666 is the calling card dial-in number, 2222222 is the PIN number, and 0841234567 is the international phone number.

“Wait” in addition to “pause” is now supported as of iOS 4.2.

Pause: comma
Wait: semicolon

are you able to put the # sign after? I have not been able to make that work like it did on my blackberry.
