Not necessarily! This particular phone had a feature that let you set shortcut numbers. It was an advanced form of the “long press a single number to dial a particular contact” feature that came before it.

Excellent catch!
Don’t feel bad. I was able to distinguish by ear between a T.38 fax handshake and a V.34+ modem handshake which definitely reveals my oldness 😆
