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:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“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)
