Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood
Auto Pin Dial- anybody familiar with this?
What does it do? I didn't see anything in the manual that answered my question.
Thanks!
Thanks!

you hit the corresponding 'soft key' and it dials your PIN number for voice mail or whatever else requires a PIN.

It's not for voicemail pin codes. A long time ago, back before digital, a lot of people were cloning ESNs and using other people's accounts. You would have no idea until you got a bill for over $1000. One way to counter a clone attack was the providers required that you set up a pin number that was specific to your account. Every time you made a call, before it would connect it, you had to dial that pin number. the nicer phones, like the micro-tac elite and ultra, had a feature that automatically sent the stored pin if you pressed the send button a second time. one for sending the call, and the second time after you heard the special tone. There are some areas out there, though probably not technologically advanced enough to understand...

You can use the wait and pause commands for voicemail or any other stored phone number. i'll explain the voicemail because the stored phone number is the same but easier since you don't need to know the navigation of finding the voicemail number setup:
go to message center/message settings. Select "voicemail no." for me, I have to dial *86 to access my voicemail. after the *86 I insert a then my access code. you could also use a or two instead of a but sometimes that doesn't work for me. a pause command waits about 2-4 seconds then sends the tones selected after the pause. a wait command waits for you to press okay before sending the tones.
Anyway, when ready to enter the wait or pause command, press the menu button and sele...

Thank you for taking the time to write this up... I really appreciate it. I got it set up the way you mentioned and it works exactly like I wanted it to.
I had always though it was little strange that I had to actually open the phone and key in the passwords while using the speakerphone functions. I'd rather of just be able to hit a button on the side and access the message.
Thanks again!

Okay. In my reply I used little brackets to designate wait and pause commands and the words in the brackets were deleted in the actual post. Sorry if my original reply made absolutely no sense at all. Here's the copy, paste, rewrite:

Ok, this is really great! I can keep the phone on the desk, hit the voice command button and automatically get my messages without ever having to open up the phone or push any buttons.
I set it up using pauses and it worked well.
Thanks!

I don't really understand how you are using this feature. What do you do after you hit the voice command?
How is this better than setting up the same voice command under the number 1 with it's ID being Voicemail? You can then just say "Voicemail" or hit the #1 key.
Let me know, thanks.

It's not much different than setting up location one as voicemail, it's just that it's not necessary to do it that way. Why waste a prime location number? Also, when you get a new voicemail, the phone's screen changes and tells you you have a voicemail and gives you the option of dialing your voicemail number by hitting a softkey. only one keystroke rather than clearing the screen, pressing 1#, then send. When the phone dials voicemail for you, it uses the number you have set up in menu as described in my earlier post. that's where you would want to set up pause and wait commands. so your one-touch voicemail dialing will work with your pause and wait commands and your pin already entered.
