When calling phones on Skype, Is there a way to use touchtone prompts after the call is connected?

Question

I find it necessary to use touchtone prompts when connected to a land line on skype calling Voip. How can I use the touch tone pad on the screen after the call is made? Thanks

Answer 1

Are you using a Skype hard-phone or the Skype soft-phone on your PC?

The Skype soft-phone you install on PC has a soft telephone keypad.  Just use your mouse to click on the keypad numbers that you want to send DTMF tones for.

Or, enter directly from your keyboard number pad keys.

DTMF key tones should work over Skype.  I have done it many times in the past.

There may have been some DTMF tone issues in the past.  Make sure you are upgraded to the latest version.

I was using version 3.6.0.248, up to a few minutes ago.

I have now just upgraded to the latest version:

3.8.0.115

They say this newest version has major improvements to call quality.... so I strongly recommend checking your version and upgrading if you aren't using latest version.
