Last number redial on 290 butt 'phone
Reading the description on Tele. no. 290 (push-button butt 'phone), one of the facilities listed is last number redial (LNR). There doesn't, however, seem to be a button to press to achieve this, so is there such a facility and if so how is it done?

Re: Last number redial on 290 butt 'phone
At a guess, press M twice? The last number redial on my parents' first modern phone worked in a similar way, using just the 12 standard keys; * <memory slot> <number> to store, # <memory slot> to dial and # # to redial the last number.

Re: Last number redial on 290 butt 'phone
Actually, that was the first thing I tried - does nothing.
I also tried M * and M #. No joy with either.

Re: Last number redial on 290 butt 'phone
Thanks.
It didn't do anything until I had manually dialled a number again, but dialling, pressing "dis" then the two Ms worked. Presumably the number isn't stored long-term once the 'phone is left disconnected.
