On my old old old Nokia 1610 i remember it was posible to save numbers
with PAUSE and WAIT in them... pause ment to pause sending digit codes
for ~5 sec - and wait would stop sending until send were pressed.

It would be nice fx. if you are calling something like the local bus or
rail service that often have a long "press 1 to contintue...." sequence.
