To change the keypad tone
You can change the tone you hear when entering a phone number on the keypad. If set

pressed. Use this setting if you are having trouble accomplishing tasks that rely on tones
from your phone such as accessing messages from an answering machine. If set to Short
tones, the tone is heard only for one or two seconds. If set to Off, no tone will be heard.
