W56H DECT handset have the capability to dial a + sign with a long press on 0 key (+ sign is also visible on this key).

How can you dial this + sign on a Yealink desk phone ?
With mobile usage increasing, users are more and more familiar with this feature.

Best regards

Hi,

Yes, there is.

This you can read on page 35 of the T48G UG v80_60:
For *. key:
If it is the uppercase (ABC soft key), lowercase (abc soft key) or alphanumeric (2aB soft key) input mode, it will provide the following
special characters: . , ‘ ? ! \ - ( ) @ / : _ ; + & % = < > £ $ ￥ ¤ [ ] { } ~^ ¿ ¡ # ▏ §

Hello,

Thanks for replying !

I don't have any T48G desk phone so I can't try the above procedure by myself.

My question was quite general: with current touch-screen enabled smartphones or older keypad-equiped mobile phones, you could dial a plus sign with a long key press on 0 key.
You can also do it now with a W56H.

With a recent T29G, a long press on 0-key still dials a 0 digit, not a plus sign.
Similarily, on long press on 1-key doesn't dial your voicemail number either as it would with a mobile phone.

As Yealink phones are highly configurable and wireless phones configuration is very similar to desktop phone configuration, I'm hoping a configuration would allow system administrators to borrow those mobile-phone-like user interactions in desktop phones though I would even prefer to have this inheritance "proudly claimed" on keypad layout.

Using a T48G, how many actions are needed to dial a plus sign ?
