Pause or wait character in stored phone numbers

Is there a pause or wait key you can use for stored phone numbers when you have to wait before dialing an extension?

If you're on a Mac you can use this simple apple script I whipped up (based on [invalid URL]). I installed it in Alfred ([invalid URL]) and can just call it up with "concall teamcall" or whatever. Seems to work ok from here.

 

on alfred_script(q)
	if "teamcall" is in q then
		set phone_number to "+18885555454"
		set dtmf to "1,123456#"
	else if "dailycall" is in q then
		set phone_number to "+18885553557"
		set dtmf to "123456#"
	end if
	
	tell application "Skype"
		set active_call to send command "CALL " & phone_number script name ""
		set skype_call_id to word 2 of active_call
		delay 10
		set bridge to "ALTER CALL " & skype_call_id & " DTMF "
		repeat with tone in the characters of dtmf
			if tone contains "," then
				delay 2
			else
				send command bridge & " " & tone script name "s2"
				delay 0.2
			end if
		end repeat
	end tell
end alfred_script
