[Asterisk-Users] DTMF # ?

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

It's mapped to blind transfer in features.conf -- If you want to use the 
blind transfer feature, which I find easier than my phones' transfer 
features, remap it to ## in features.conf.  That way if you hit # it 
dtmfs through to the target IVR, but you can hit ## real quick to get 
the transfer function.

Or maybe I could refer you to the notes in the wiki: ;)

Using the blindxfer in [featuremap] section you can redefine the 
transfer key. For example, if the blindxfer is set to "##", transfer 
only happens when you press the "#" key twice very quickly. This solves 
a problem using Asterisk phones to call IVR systems such as those used 
by banks and credit card companies - "Enter you account number followed 
by the # key".
