You can configure one or more * codes into this parameter, such as *72, or 
*72|*74|*67|*82, and so on. The maximum total length is 79 characters. When the 
user has a dial tone (first or second dial tone), they can enter a * code (and the 
following target number according to current dial plan) to trigger the Cisco IP 
phone to call the target number prepended by the * code. For example:
a. After the user dials *72, the Cisco IP phone plays a special prompt tone while 
waiting for the user the enter a target number (which is validated according to 
the dial plan as in normal dialing). 
b. When a complete number is entered, the Cisco IP phone sends an INVITE to 
*72 
target_number
 as in a normal call. This feature allows the proxy to process 
features such as call forward (*72) or BLock Caller ID (*67).
You can add a parameter to each * code in 
Features Dial Services Codes
 to 
indicate what tone to play after the * code is entered, such as *72‘c‘|*67‘p‘. 
Following is a list of allowed dial tone parameters (note the use of back quotes 
surrounding the parameter without spaces).
•      ‘c‘ = Cfwd dial tone
•      ‘d‘ = Dial tone
•      ‘m‘ = MWI dial tone
•      ‘o‘ = Outside dial tone
•      ‘p‘ = Prompt dial tone
•      ‘s‘ = Second dial tone
•      ‘x‘ = No tones are place, x is any digit not used above
If no tone parameter is specified, the Cisco IP phone plays the prompt tone by 
default.
If the * code is not to be followed by a phone number, such as *73 to cancel call 
forwarding, do not include it in this parameter. In that case, add that * code in the 
dial plan.
