When you call one of these fancy automatic operators, they generally
say something like "to select a service, enter 1 now, or hold and an
operator will take your call". This way if you can't generate tones
you go back to the default action. So a smart paging service would
respond with something like "to enter a number, enter 1 now, or hang
up and your number will be automatically generated".
