How to dial an extension on iPhone
Apple allows users to dial an extension on iPhone using the traditional method: Dial the main number of the business you're trying to contact, and punch in the three- or four-digit extension when prompted using your phone's keypad.
However, the method I'm about to show you lets you dial the main number and the extension all in one go.
1. Open the Phone app.
2. Tap on Keypad at the bottom of your screen.
3. Type in the primary number (e.g., 555-555-5555).
4. Hold down the asterisk button until you see a comma.
5. Type in the extension number (e.g., 406).
6. Tap on the green call button.
And voila! This will allow you to connect with the division or office you need all in one go.
