**To my knowledge, Digium didn't build in support for rotary phones** (I may be
wrong on this one though)</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br>to my knowledge, you cant reliably detect pulse digits via the pstn, since its a voltage on/off cycle that indicates what was dialed. There are some ways that you can attempt to do it, but since that voltage change doesnt cross the PSTN, unless you are physically connected to the phone it wont be reliable, and most systems dont allow you to even specify that as an option. VoIP also has the same issues detecting it (although some ATAs may and translate that to something else).
<br></div><br>This leads me to wonder why you mentioned digiums support for it, when the context was calling your IVR via a tollfree number, which would presumably exclude 'local to your box' callers. I also wonder about the VoIP provider doing pulse comment as well, given the above - although in reality it relies on the hardware the phone is physically plugged into (I have had some ATAs that do support pulse dialing though and they do 2833 translation). The VoIP provider would have to be unaware since there is no way to get this information to them.
