Touch Tone Telephone

The 24-Hour information service lines will only respond to Touch Tone telephone input.

Many push button telephones can generate tone and pulse dialing signals. These telephones have a switch or button to change the signal from one to the other. If you are using a pushbutton phone on a line that only responds to rotary dial-type pulses, check to see if the telephone also has Touch Tone capability. If it does, you can use the pulse output to call the main number, (212) 301-4871. When you hear the number ringing, switch to "tone" or "TT" output to communicate with the system.

Rotary Dial Telephone

If you have a rotary dial or a pushbutton phone without Touch Tone capability, you can purchase a battery-powered device to emulate Touch Tones for automated systems.
