DTMF Tones as MP3 Files

DTMF (Dual-tone multi-frequency) tones are generated by touch tone phones. When any key on a phone keypad is pushed two frequencies are generated, hence the name dual tone multi frequency. DTMF is also known as tone dialing as opposed to the older pulse dialing.

Each of the 12 keys on a phone generates a different DTMF. String together the various DTMF tones and you can dial a number.
