What About A Dial Tone?

[CruiseConnect]

I have Skype on my Axim x30 and it works great. I will be away from home for a while and would like to us Skype to access my home phone answering system.......but it requires "using a touch tone phone." What can I put on my Axim to be able to accomplish this? Do you have any recommendations?.......

If you could find a program to mimic the tones on the key pad and then play them into the answering machine, that might work. (kinda like using a crimson box)

I took a look for you and found THIS, and remember Google is your friend!!!!

I would think that Skype would send the tones when you press the buttons while on a call.

Nope........

You can buy hand-held touch-tone generators...

I'm sorry. naturally, but DialTone doesn't work. I'm thinking that there isn't anything out there that will. But thank you anyway!

I went to Skype and discovered: once you are connected, you can switch to the Dial tab and using the keys enter the numbers. IT WORKS! I can access my home messages............

Told yah!
