How to decode DTMF tones:

1) Record the tones
2) Dial your friendly bank computerised access system
3) Login with your account and PIN
4) Give commands for a payment or transfer
5) Play back the tones
6) Press # to terminate the "ammount in pence"
7) Listen to the message asking you to verify the transaction which
   includes the numbers you played back.
8) Cancel the transaction
9) Hang up
