Modern smartphones are now making it possible to dial extension numbers easily so that it will not

These are some of the things that you can do to make a straight phone call:

• Dial the number that comes with the extension number.

• To do this, you need to insert a comma after the primary number by holding the asterisk for a long time.

• Place the extension number that you want to reach.

• Once the number rings, this means that you will already be connected to the extension.

The best thing about doing this is that you can lessen the unnecessary waiting period that you may need to go through if you would not use the extension number.
