Differences Between GSM & CDMA iPhone Calls

[Maverick1337]

I came across a pretty interesting article from 9to5Mac that Apple has posted that shows the differences in how to do different actions on a GSM & CDMA iPhone. It's a pretty interesting read in my opinion for users that want to switch from one cell service to the other.

Well, now I wanna know what 'dialing a soft pause' means.

Well, now I wanna know what 'dialing a soft pause' means.

A "soft pause" works in situations where a phone number is broken up into several sequences that must be sent separately. For example, a phone number that includes an internal switchboard extension.

If you know that the remote switchboard always answers within a fixed period of time, you can insert an appropriate number of soft pauses to give the switchboard enough time to answer the call and prompt for the internal extension number -- and then the phone can automatically continue dialing in the extension number using DTMF (touchtones) without requiring any user intervention. The concept of a "soft pause" has been a built-in feature of conventional land-line modems and autodialers for decades now.

Apparently cell phones support it too. (I didn't actually know that.)

Wow that makes CMDA even more limited than I had originally thought. I'm happy I have never once had a problem with AT&T.

CDMA and GSM iPhone Differences

Apple posted a good article and chart showing the different capabilities in the two different iPhone models. It is worth a good look

I started another thread about this but it got moved here. Just to clarify if you all have questions about the above post.

Wow,that does suck but I don't think I've ever had to do one of those options,most of those options look like someone from a business would do.
