One alternative is to program the number you wish to call into
one of the "memories" of your telephone before you start your
call in attempts.  (Now everyone has a telephone with an n number
memory, where n is somewhere between 3 and 100, don't they?)
I've discovered that, on my AT&T 1600 telephone, the "redial"
button can be programmed without dialing a call, just by using
the same method as to program any of the other memory buttons.
The digital display of the number dialed on the phone helps a lot,
too!
