If you use the # (call it what you may) key at the end of your dialed
phone number it will often but not always tell the 'system' there are
no more dialed numbers. This certainly speeds international DDD, where
there is an unknown number of digits to expect. The # generally also
knocks off tone to pulse converters if they are present, and some SMDR
units will stop capturing, too. You will probably find situations
where adding the # will mess up your dialing, but it is worth a try if
you are paranoid.
