Here’s how to add extensions to Phone Numbers on an Apple iPhone:
- On the iPhone, launch Contacts app (note: the Phone app will also work).
- Tap the “+” (top-right) to add a new contact. If you’re editing an existing contact, just tap the contact and then tap on Edit.
- In the phone number field, you type the number and then tap on the “+*#” button to bring up more options.
- For an extension number that you type immediately after dialing the number, use Pause. This adds a “,” to the phone number.
- For a prolonged pause, use Wait and then key in the number. This adds a “;” to the phone number.
- Tap Done to save the changes.
- Make sure you test it out after saving the contact number.
