description DTMF tones used to enter a password reflected by an answering machine or voice mail system can be masked using a jamming signal generator. When an answering machine or voice mail system is accessed with a cellular phone, the DTMF tones used for the password can be reflected back over the cellular network, which compromises security. A method and apparatus are disclosed which detects tones on an input line and outputs a jamming signal on the output line to mask the reflected tones.
