What I learned. For example, in the USA PlatinumTel GSM requires you dial 835 to make international calls [didn't know that, did you!] a recording answers and than you dail the numbers you want without a '*', but with a '#' at the end.

To make things easier, I added the number to the address book and put two 'p's pauses in to automate the call.
835PP44792xxxxxxx#
Each pause is about 5 seconds. It works.
How does W= wait work? 835W44792xxxxxxx#
After the 835 is dialed it says press send to send.
So you manually release the wait. I have never seen this explained before.

Is this how it works on all phones?
I don't know if this works for all but that's how it works with Nokia. Adding a w requires that you hit the talk key then the string you have specified will be toned out. P pauses for five seconds.
