Actually the # key tells my service provider that I'm
finished with the call and want it to be handed off. 
For example I'm talking to person #1 and they want to
talk to person #2, so I flash over, do *08 + person
#2's number, and once they pick up I'd be like "Person
#1 wants to speak to you, hold on" and press # then
hang up and the two are connected and my line goes
silent.

Thanks for the dialplan.  I'll let you know how it
works when I get my X100P installed early next week.
