Binary Data Transfer
It's also possible to transfer Binary code (including ASCII text messages) using DTMF by treating received code as hexadecimal interpretation of nibble, assuming that E is equal to * and F is equal to #. This means that two subsequent DTMF tones are enough to transfer whole byte of data or 8-bit ASCII character.

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or transfer:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“If it had not been for storytelling, the black family would not have survived. It was the responsibility of the Uncle Remus types to transfer philosophies, attitudes, values, and advice, by way of storytelling using creatures in the woods as symbols.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
