Hard Pause with iPhone dialing

[TivoTron]

Two iPhone phone questions...thanks!

(1) What symbol signifies the hard pause or "wait" in my contact list for use on the iPhone? I'm pretty sure that a comma does a soft pause (~1 sec).

(2) Is there a symbol to use if I want to have some text after a contact that NEVER gets read by the phone? For example, if I have a number in my contacts "310-XXX-XXXX (customer service)" and I don't want the phone to dial the letters "(customer service)", is there some symbol that I can put in front of it that will prevent this?

Thanks again!

Are you putting (customer service) there for reference? I believe when you add a number to a contact you can custom one instead of using home / mobile, just custom Customer Service

Yes. Certain contacts have multiple weird headings (like customer service, tech support, street repair dept, etc.)

I think you're right, but Outlook is my primary contact storage source, and it's cumbersome to add a bunch of new random headings. Would be easier if I could just prevent any dialing after a given symbol.

Maybe I will try it out using the "|" (line) character.
