DTMF doesn't work on phone menu

Post by jd1940 »

MJ is working fine for me but when I reach a menu system (dial 1 for English, etc.) the menu doesn't hear the dial pad numbers I'm pressing. Is this a problem with MJ? I'm using Panasonic KX-TG7431 phones. Sound quality and dialing ability is excellent but nothing happens when I reach a menu. Anyone have a workaround?

I have had an issue with it. I finally figured out on mine that I needed to do it slow, holding it for a second and waiting a second before pressing the next number if there were multiple numbers like an account number. You might also try using the number pad on your soft-phone as a possible alternative.

I solved the problem by using MJ+ instead of my older MJ. DTMF tones are passed through with no problem using the +.
