How to call an extension Follow
If you’re calling a business, a company, or an office place—anywhere with multiple employees—there’s a good chance you’ll need to dial an extension number to reach a specific department or individual. If you don’t know the extension, you might have to wait through the entirety of the automated menu to be directed to the appropriate line.
If you do know the extension, you can try the pause method or the wait method. The pause method involves dialling the main number to start, then you press and hold the * key (or the comma , symbol) until a pause appears. Then enter the extension and hit call.
The wait method requires you to dial the semi colon ; symbol, to generate a wait. Then dial the extension manually when prompted.
