Options during a call
Your mobile phone offers a number of op-
tions which are only available during a call.
You cannot use all of these features at all

rent circumstances.
Note

Some supplementary services will be unavail-
able during satellite calls to other Thuraya
mobile phones.

the caller is not able to hear what is being
said at your end of the line.

Sending DTMF signals during a call
During a call you can send DTMF (Dual Tone
Multi Frequency) signals, even if sending of
DTMF tones is not set in advance (see page
38).
By this you can send DTMF tones during a
call to a service which accepts only DTMF
tones, e.g. in order to enter access codes for
listening to an answering machine. After the
function is switched on, a DTMF tone is sent
with each key press.
The function has to be called for each DTMF
tone sequence to be sent.
To send DTMF tones during an active call:

You can now dial control codes for
a service that requires DTMF tones
Press
