Fingers are a bit cold from just walking the dog, and I’m tired from getting off a 12 hour shift, have a feeling I could do better under different circumstances.
Haven’t tested myself on a real keyboard in a long time, but once upon a time I could hit well north of 100wpm pretty consistently if I tried. When I tested myself in preparation for my current job about 5 years ago I think I usually hovered somewhere around 80-90 (911 dispatch, my agency requires at least 60 to pass the aptitude test, I wasn’t worried about passing but I was curious where I was at since I hadn’t been typing much at the time)
Just to be sure, are you trying to enter the numbers like T9 texting by hitting 222 to type a C, so you’d be entering “* # * # 222 44 33 222 55 444 66 # * # *”
Or are you entering like you’re dialing JG Wentworth at 877-CASHNOW, where the C would just be a single 2? So what you’d want to enter is “* # * # 2 4 3 2 5 4 6 # * # *”
And have you tried the other method?
A bit more context about what/why you’re trying to do may also help us to help you figure it out.
I don’t think any common phone system is set up to accept actual text input, so I doubt you’re supposed to be sending the actual characters “CHECKIN”
I just entered “##2432546##” into my phone’s stock dialer, and I got a pop-up saying that check in was successful, so I suspect that’s what you’re , but I’m not entirely sure what that means.
Also when I copy/pasted “##CHECKIN##” into my dialer it automatically converted the letters into 2432546
From a little googling, it looks like its a way of forcing your phone to check for updates, but most of the sites I could find referencing it were a decade or so old, so there’s a chance that may not be used as much anymore, or it’s possibly something that varies from one manufacturer, carrier, whether your phone is locked to a carrier or unlocked, software version, etc. to another.
