How to interactively dial numbers

[Ekiga General mailing list]

Hi

Using Ekiga for a week now and works pretty well (Ubuntu - Ekiga version 4.0.1)

Now I have issues calling companies that require pressing a dialer during phoning. Something like 'please press 1 for support or press two for account information' 

That is needed often and I have no idea how to do that in Ekiga (if even possible). I can select the dialer during phoning but it is locked for use (pressing the buttons is not registered)

Hope this makes sense (English is not my mother-tongue) and someone can assist.

Do you not have the "dialpad"? Probably the 3rd icon/subwindow across
the top? Or it can be selected from the [View] menu.

If by any chance that doesn't work, check that you have
"sent DTMF as: RFC2833" set under preferences: Protocols/SIP settings.

Following on from my previous reply, if you mean by "locked", nothing
seems to happen when you click on the buttons, it is likely to be
that configuration option that I mentioned.

Configuration option did not help.

I do have the dialpad, can click on the buttons but they do not appear registered in the dialpad during calling. If I am not calling then I can press the buttons and they are registered.

Dialpad is not directly accessible as an option in the call window.
