If you are trying to dial, for example, "555-0123 ext. 456," you dial the main number and wait for it to answer. You may speak to a receptionist, in which case you ask for "extension 456," or you may get a computer, in which case you punch in or say "456."

How do you dial an extension number?

In most cases, you first dial the main number. If an automated system answers, you will be prompted to dial the extension number. For example, to reach (318) 555-0123 x 7838, you would first dial 1-318-555-0123, and then, after the automated system answers, dial the extension number 7838. If a human operator answers, you can just say, "Extension 7838, please."


When dialing an extension number do you put anything before the number?

If you are dialing another extension in the same company, you just dial the extension number. If you are dialing an extension number on a different phone system (for example, a different company, or a different location of the same company), you will need to dial something else before the extension number.


What is an extension number?

An extension number is a number in addition to the regular telephone number that allows a call to be directed to a particular telephone in a business. You dial the regular number, and then either ask the receptionist to connect you to the extension or give the extension number to the automated attendant. For example, to call (212) 555-0123 ext. 752, you dial the number, 1-212-555-0123, and then either ask the human receptionist for "extension 752" or key in or say "752" to the automated attendant.

How do you fax to an extension number?

To fax to an extension number, you need to insert a pause into the number you fax to. This is done in different ways on different fax machines, and can be found in the manual. It may be done by hitting the comma or period buttons, or by a dedicated pause button on the fax machine. This pause allows the call to go through and the extension service to ask for the extension you want to send the fax to. For example, at my work we have a Brother 2820 Fax machine, with a button that says Redial/Pause on it. If I needed to fax to (555)-555-5555 at the extension 555, I'd dial 1555555555 then hit my pause button twice to insert two pauses to wait for the extension service, and then dial 555, and finally hit start to send the fax. This would dial the number, then wait for a few seconds for the extension service to ask for an extension, then dial the extension.


How do you use direct inward dialing?

Before Direct Inward Dialing, if you wanted to reach a specific employee at a large company, you had to call the main switchboard and ask to be connected to that extension. DID allows you to dial a number that connects directly to the specific extension. For example, to reach extension 175, you might dial 555-0175. DID just means that each extension has its own direct telephone number that can be dialed from the outside without going through a switchboard or an automated attendant.


How do you dial an extension on a cell phone?

Most cell phones, well, new ones anyway, have that menu key under the screen (the one in the middle). Go into your cell phone's call directory, then enter the number as you normally would, without the extension. click that menu button and there should (I stress SHOULD) be an option like "insert pause", click that, then enter the local after the pause. hope that helped.


What is a DID number?

DID stands for Direct Inward Dial. Also know as DDI, Direct Dial In. It is when a phone on a private telephone switch can be dialled directly from any phone in the world. The last few digits of the number dialled are know as the DID number. For example, a telephone extension number 4400 might be dialable from anywhere as +35318784400.
