The "pause" and "wait" does not work properly

I have a contact with a phone number, that looks like this:

1(718)3039081,123456789

And it was dialing ok with my 4s. Now I have upgraded to Iphone 5 and ios6. And the phone is dialing too slow after the comma - it makes 5 seconds delays between each number, so before it finishes dialing 123456789 the other part hangs up.

It dials 1(718)3039081 normally, delays are only after the comma. So the dialing looks like this:

1(718)3039081,1.....2.....3.....4.....5.....6.....7.....8.....9 SLOW!!

I have tried to delete this contact and create it again - no luck.

Tried to use semicolon instead of comma, and again, it dials the first part of the number ok, then "waits", untill I press the button "dial12345" and when I press it, its dialing slow again ...

When I dial this number manually using keypad everything is ok.

And I don't see what can be wrong? Am I doing something wrong? Or there is a problem with the Iphone5 or IOS6? Or is it a "new cool" feature?)

Thnx

PS: also, one of the earpieces came in broken, but I guess I have to create another thread for that ...

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and have recently purchased a *NOS* (Verizon) iPhone 4 and I also couldn't figure out how to call my voicemail without entering my password. I went to the (Verizon FAQ) and followed these simple steps and it now works every time flawlessly!

1- Enter your voicemail phone # e.g. (123) 456-7890 insert 2 pauses, then enter your password followed by the # sign.

2- Create a name for your voicemail # e.g. Voicemail.

3- Add this name/number to your favorites, and whenever you receive a voicemail choose this name/number from your favorites and your voicemail will be called without having to enter your password.

Works every time like a charm. Now, all I need to do is figure out how to change the settings in the voicemail envelope being I have to listen to the time stamp/phone # before actually hearing my voicemail messages. There seems to be no option for changing the envelope information when I switched to the iPhone 4 from my Samsung phone??? Verizon gives limited options for envelope information since switching to the iPhone 4...but I was able to access all envelope information using the Samsung???

Hope this helps!
