Dialer works with any Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) that accepts Dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones such as a standard landline phone system. To use Dialer, you hold your phone's speaker up to a telephone handset or microphone and play the tone by pressing a button or by selecting one of your saved favorites. Store up to five favorites in the free version for easy dialing, such as calling cards, teleconference numbers, or complicated phone tree's. Commas act as pauses during the dialing tone sequence to allow time for prompts and other delays. Simply hold up your iPhone speaker to the landline telephone's microphone or handset and press dial. Some other devices also use DTMF tones to configure, Dialer is great for these as well. Volume is controlled by your devices volume buttons, so you can easily turn it up or down for just the right volume of your tones.
