Need to check your math, but no adding machine available and you've run out of fingers ?

Call the number on your screen and use your touch-tone or dial telephone as an adding machine to punch in the list.

# for + (or + last entry),
* for - (or - last entry),
*# to hear subtotal,
#* to hear total and clear.

Long distance charges may apply.

       ## for multiply
** for divide There could be a book of ever more complicated codes for different functions, e.g. **#*## for sqrt, or ••####*## for arcsin.

       '###' could be used to get at all the unusual functions, using the letters which are printed on your phone's keypad to identify them, so ###74 is Pi, ###76 ("sn") is Sin, ###27 ("cs") is Cos, ###39 ("ex") is exponent, etc.
