Working in global research, 40% of our ROW (rest of world) sites and vendors use landline or cell pones to join our meetings, depends on their institutional security and IT settings.

Smart phones can dial a long code in software. Only dumb phones and landlines can't

Some smartphones, using some applications, and some input devices, can dial some long codes.

Jim from sales who is dialing in from his company's oddball calendar app over Bluetooth on the infotainment system in his rental car probably can't.
