what is the difference between pulse and tone dialing in telephone?

Answer 1

A touch-tone phone makes tones in different frequencies for all the buttons. The best way to describe this is, you can play little songs by pushing the buttons if you practice a little.

A pulse tone phone literally breaks the phone connection shortly, which produces an audible click. It breaks it 1 time for the number 1, 2 times for the number 2, and so on. 10 times for the number 0.

You can trick a pulse phone system by tapping the button used to put the hook on very quickly and dail the number that way.

Answer 2

With a pulse dialing phone, you will hear a series of clicks when
you push any number on the keypad.
With a tone dialing phone, you will hear a musical tone when you
push any number on the keypad.
Many phones you can buy have a switch on them so you can
choose either one when you dial.

Answer 3

Tone dialing is when you hear a sound every time you hit a number key, hence "touch-tone". Pulse dialing (I presume) uses electrical pulses over the phone line instead of sounds.

Answer 4

dial or a bunch of push buttons. Tone (push buttons) is compatible to more modern computer driven telephone functions, pulse (dial) ain't.

Answer 5

Pulse goes beep beep beep and tone goes ring ring ring.
