iphone 5 dialer can not successfully dial numbers after a programmed pause. The speed at which the dialer attempts to dial the remaining numbers is too slow. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

iphone 5 dialer can not successfully dial numbers after a programmed pause. The speed at which the dialer attempts to dial the remaining numbers is too slow to complete the sequence before the phone system kicks it out Does anyone else have a similar problem? Have never had a phone with this kind of problem, even the cheapest of phones. Typical "storred" phone dialing sequence is 999 5551212,5555,6666. Phone should dial the 5551212 number, wait for a tone, dial the "5555", wait for a tone, then dial the "6666". My phone will dial the 5551212 number, pause, then start dialing the 5555 , but only 1 number about every 10-15 seconds. The receiving device typicall kickes out long before the secondary strings are dialed

iPhone 5, iOS 6, brand new -

i just got a new 5S from Verizon (full price - unlocked). The pause/wait features do not work (same very, very long sequencing discussed above). The software is 7.3 and is says it is up to date. Did the fix somehow go away from 6.0 to 7.3? Anyone else?

Running my iPhone 5, with the latest iOS 7.0.3, and the dialer works just fine. Have a feeling it has to do with the operating speed of the processor and that not being compatible with the dialing process. Have a feeling that this is going to be another case where Apple is just going to have to get around to working on the dialer to make it compatible with the newer faster processor. I always have had difficulties entering the paused dialing process from the dialer keypad. I usually enter the number (with commas, Etc into notepad then copy and paste the dialing string into the contact. That always works.

Makes sense - thanks
