"Wait" in addition to "pause" is now supported as of iOS 4.2.

Pause: comma
Wait: semicolon

are you able to put the # sign after? I have not been able to make that work like it did on my blackberry.

alternate method - insert pause with iPhone by holding down the * and it will change to a comma (,) i.e., pause.

what would be better is adding a WAIT like on the BB. Can't seem to figure it out on the iphone. Anyone know if it can be done?

Now THIS is useful. There are so many times when I am in the car trying to dial-in to a conference call. Even with a headset on, I still have to dial the meeting ID or if I am the facilitator, the meeting ID and host code. Now, I don't have to run anyone off the road trying to dial these things.

This has made my life just that much easier, thanks. Is there any way you can make it work on the call forward feature? I use call forward on my iPhone to receive all my calls through my office phone which you have to enter my extension to reach me. I want it to be able to dial the office line & my extension to make it easier for the people calling. Any suggestions?

The pause dialing for the iPhone is slow and often rejected before it has a chance to finish. Instead of sounding like it is being tapped, the dial tone sounds like it is being held down for an extra few moments. By the time it's released, the pause has already been rejected. Any suggestions?

dialing pause works ok, but what about dialing wait?, for those who doesn't know the difference in between pause and wait is, after a pause period the handset dials itself the next numbers, however after the wait the user is asked to press a key to send the next numbers.

For some reason I'm not able to get this to work. I'm able to insert the pauses as you state but I don't seem to get a consistent result. It seem like it varies the pause length sometime and other times it doesn't do the pause at all.
