A system for generating number tones for dialing a telephone device comprising
a microphone. The system comprises a housing, a first data entry device, first
and second memory devices, an output signal generator, and a transducer. The housing
defines a sound opening. The first data entry device is supported by the housing
and is associated with a first sequence of stored digits. The first memory device
stores the first sequence of stored digits. The second memory device stores frequency
data associated with number tones. The output signal generator generates, upon
activation of the first data entry device, an output signal based on the first
sequence of stored digits and the frequency data. The transducer is mounted within
the housing adjacent to the sound opening and converts the output signal into an
audible signal. The housing is adapted to be attached to the telephone device with
the sound opening adjacent to the microphone.
