Intercept outgoing calls...

There a way I can intercept outgoing calls, for example I made a call from a contact that are stored like "+55 41 3338-6556" and before the phone start dialing I want change it to "014 41 3338-6556", just parse the world format number to another number, if this is possible I can do a program to use many operators or calling cards...
Any idea or a piece of source code?
Thanks
Arnaldo.

MagiCall can do this:

Any idea how to make it?

Dial patterns for Brazil
Hey, I have opened a thread on that on the HTC Wizard. I am widely interested in having such a solution because of the Brazilian networks. I keep switching between my 2 SIM Cards (Claro and TIM) and have to use different operator dial codes for each SIM card. It is a pain in the neck.
I am glad someone shares my misery
Please keep me posted if you happen to find a solution.

You mean how to get the program to do that?
Just create a New Rule,
filter = Phone - Outbound
Phone # = enter it or select from your contacts
Then go to the 2nd tab (Action)
Action1= Change Number
Call to: enter in New number here
Then on the 3rd tab add your scheduling preferences e.g. only Tuesdays.

I will test MagiCall, but I want to do it in code to make a solution for me, I think my problem is the same of feaps I live in Brazil too, I need to change operator code and if I change the SIM Card I need to change all phone numbers...
Arnaldo.

Feaps,
MagiCall works great!
Try it:
http://www.magisoftwarehouse.com/
My configuration:
-Filter
Rule Type: Phone - Outbound
Filter type: All
-Operation
Action1: Change number
Action2: Do nothing
Call to: 014{phone}[-3,0]
Remember I am at Curitiba, I use Brasil Telecom, 14 is the operation code, I store my phone numbers in the format: +55 41 3338-5665 so when I can MagiCall change it to 014413338-5665, so you can make more than one rule, for each operator (TIM/Claro) and enable the rule you want!
Malatesta, thanks for help!
Giacomitti.

G-r-e-a-t!
WOW, it sounds terrific. I was out and just got back from an Int'l trip. I will give it a try right away!
Kudos to you all!
-Feaps®
Edit after testing: WORKS PERFECTLY!

Feaps,
I had changed my rule to:
Phone Outbound
Specific number
+55*
Change number
014{phone}[-3,0]
So when I dial from dial pad it does not change the number, and I had create another for 0800
Phone Outbound
Specific number
+550800*
Change number
{phone}[-3,0]
Remember put the 0800 rule first... It will work too...
Happy new year!
Giacomitti

More flexible, indeed

I really like your new approach, 'coz I can then create a rule for international numbers that are not necessarily starting with a + (e.g. 1-800-222-3421) to add 0015 in front of the "1"...
You may say it is easier just to edit these numbers and add a +, but most of them are auto synched via Plaxo or LinkedIn and then I cannot edit them effectively without having duplicates...
Very nice the use of wildcards and so. I will give the help a try.
Have a great 2007!
-Feaps®

New version coming...
Giacomitti,
Please expect a version in Portuguese anytime soon
I am almost finishing it and the folks at MagiCall will recompile it.
This is hell of a great App!!!

Cool! But I use all my apps in english... But it's a nice feature!
It's the best app I had in my pocket.

Wrong Dialing Prefix

Please help!
I have having this problem which been bothering me.
The phone dial prefix was wrong. The format is (XXX) 123-12345
my country singapore format is (XX) 1234-1234
With this wrong format, it cannot display the correct contact.
Can someone please help

If you've just upgraded to WM6 then this is not surprising.
I had the same problem for UK numbers here at home. You need to change your regional options to reflect the country where you are.
Hope that helps!!

xavierng,
Go to Start -> settings -> system -> regional settings and select your region settings.
It should solve this
JP

I am not sure if the regional setting would define format for phone numbers.
Alternatively, open the Contacts and then click on 'Menu' and select 'Options...' Enter correct Area code there and you are done..

There is another simple solution for your problem:
Edit the phone WM6 registry, with a registry editor( you can download a freeware version anywhere)
Edit this register:
Record:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch
When you find it, change the decimal value from 8 to the desired number: eg 7 in my case.
Good luck !

Yes, it does.
The regional settings also include numbering format.
When you install the ROM the default regional settings are US so, it uses US numbering format, putting it on your region should solve the problem.
Try it out

I have tried this. It actually solved the Dialing prefix but it create another problem. My country is Singapore (chinese) thus the long date format give me alot of boxes. This affect my calender view.

By pass the whole issue by installing a 3 party PIM, I use Webis Pocket informant and format the numbers the way I like them +41 (123) 456 78 90.

I am using pocket informat and i like it but due to the dialing prefix problem, it cannot recognize the contact from informant.
I will try the registry solutions...

I am trying to edit the registry in HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone but cannot find callidmatch.

Well you lost me, which is ok.
We here in switzerland had both XX and XXX as dial codes (untill we changed this year). I have never had a problem with that standard nor with USA +1 (xxx) yyy-zzzz or infact any other contry.
I sync from Outlook, my layout is how I want it on each contact and I use +CC on all contacts as I am out of the country a lot.
I think I surpress the auto format in Pocket Infromant, its one of the TONS of settings that you can use.
Good luck, sorry I could not help more.

If you want to edit the registry:

You can enter like +xx (xx) or whatever you want to appear.

New Sprint TV ROM. Error at Start up

I installed the Sprint TV cab that comes with the new ROM but every time I start the application I get this message.
Unable to get billing system indicator for the MDN(12)
MDN : ##########
CID : AFB52 - 73E8C- 16332
I noticed that the value of MDN is supposed to be my phone number but it's wrong. One of the numbers does not match with my phone number and I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is but I don't know how to change my device's phone number
Does anyone know how to change the phone number on Windows Mobile???

I'm sure the information is on this forum somewhere, but I'd say just give sprint a call. I can't rem. the exact steps so I won't tell you them as I don't want you wrecking your phone due to my poor memory...
I do know when I ported my number after getting my Mogul on Tuesday I was walked through some steps punching in various codes and the like and I was able to edit the phone number and something else on my phone.

I have the same problem with my Touch Pro. How do we change the MDN without going through Sprint CS? I have had enough of their crappy CS so I would rather get the info through the helpful mates on this forum.

dial ##778# send
then enter your MSL code, select edit, then select VIEW softkey, select NAM settings, there you'll find MDN, tap and hold with stylus and edit.
Hope this helps.
Oops, I just realized how old this was. Sorry, as it's probably already been resolved for the OP long ago.

Anyone else with caller ID problems?

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone else might be having a similar problem with 'caller [or texter] ID'.
Most networks, as I understand it, use the international dialing code when sending out texts and calls, meaning this is usually the incoming number when you recieve a text or call.
I've obviously got people programmed into my contacts who text me but when they do, I don't get their name, I get their number - with the dialling code eg. +447750500500. When I tap to go into the threaded mode, I'll get all previous contact with this person but with them identified only as the number. However if I head to the People tab, then again to see the messages I've sent/recieved with that person, I get the same messages only under the banner of their name and not the number.
I believe calls work fine with the code programmed in on their contact profile.
Anyone know why this is being caused?

I have the same problem. Both calls and text messages.
I don't think it matters if the international code is there or not.
Really frustrating not knowing who calls.

I've had this problem first time the device was initialized (right after opening the box). It might be caused by the fact I didn't have any SIM in it at that time, I'm not sure.
After a hard reset with a SIM inserted, everything started working as it's supposed to.

Hmm, I've changed the SIM, but I can't remember if it worked wih the first SIM card.
But a hard reset deletes everything, right?

There are a few things you have to be sure of:
Do not have double contacts, if you have a number (with and without operator/country prefix) twice in your list it will not show any name.
I don't know if this applies if you have a contact on your phone memory and on your sim card. I am sure it does have this problem if you have two contacts with the same number on the memory phone.
For some reason this is logic: On an incoming call, the phones checks it's phonebook and retrieves two numbers and then it does not know what to display, is it contact one, or two?
I hope this helps you out. I did not experience any problems (yet).

Try this....
1. Edit one "test number" in your contacts and remove international codes.
Just put that "test" tel number. without int. codes... And make sure that number is not stored nder another contact. (No duplicates.)
2. Then dial from that number and see if that tel# is identified. If you have just "0xx-123456" then go to #3.
3. Go to registry and change of the Caller ID match rule. (Minus one digit.)
Example: Caller ID rule:8 (Change from 8 to 7 or 6 to 5 .. trailing digits for Call ID match. )
* HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:7
4. Restart and test again...
5. If its OK, than test with SMS.
6. If its OK again , put back your international codes and test again.
7. If not go to no.3
Hope this helps.

What was happening to me before the reset was a bit different - the phone wasn't able to match anything at all - even a number called from the phonebook and stored in "recent calls" in EXACTLY the same way it's in contact, didn't match to the contact when redialed.
I think that something required for Caller ID to work gets done when the phone is first initialized, and that this step requires full access to the phone module (which the phone doesn't have without a SIM inserted and a proper PIN entered).

hi,
i encountered also that worry,
i set the HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:9
my mobile phone number to test was stored as "06xxyyzzww"
and when i phone my diamond2 from that number
the caller id is recognized
(with showing as +336wwxxyyzz)
i tested from my home phone stored in contacts as 04wwxxyyzz
i rang my topaz its was identfied as my home,
(with showing as +334wwxxyyzz)
i am in france, + is for 00 ,our phone numbers are 10 digits long
(mobiles and "home") ,
to be joined from abroad, you have to dial +33+phone number WITHOUT the first digit "0")
so the "9" value i put in the registry
if it could help you
regards

Hi,
just stumbled over the same problem.
The old phone (HTC P330) resolved numbers from my used format 01234-56789.
Since my contacts are a mess, I have 01234-12345, +49-123456-456, +49 (0123)-456 and so on, it would be a great pain in my ass to switch every contact to +49123-456 (which the new phone resolved).
I compared the Registry-Entry from the P3300 with the TD2 and voila: TD2 was 12, P3300 had the value 8.
I changed the TD2 to value 8, reboot and now I'm happy again, the phone is getting used to my contact list

Hi,
I'm experiencing the exactly same problem, that incomming calls or messages isn't shown by name, but only by number.
I'm all new to Windows mobile, but I tried downloading a regeditor, and experimented with different values in the CallIdMatch string. However, no succes.
I live in Denmark, where numbers look like +4512345678, where +45 is the international code. Can someone please tell me, what should be the correct value? The original values was 8.
I have further found that some contacts are recognized. What the difference is between the groups, are however unclear!

Caller ID problem, my solution
I had the same problem. But after a hard reset it seems to work just fine now. Remember to backup your downloaded programs etc before doing this.

Hi,
"8" should be the good figure for you, as in France
we have phone numbers +33987654321
and "9" is the good value for me, in:
HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch value:
Edit: i remove previous "edit"
in fact all my contacts had been erased" so it was normal to have no caller ID?
ps: is your carrier sendind all the figures when you're receiving calls, i mean +4512345678
so perhaps you're encountering a bug .
you should try to backup your device, with a soft like spritebackup(special price for htc owners on their webpage) and experiment an hardreset
and restore

Hi ,
did you ever try to change the following:
RegistryEdit and Decreasing the CallIDMatch from 12 to 7 solved my Issue
See below
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone" name="CallIDMatch"
Greetings from Slovenia

Hello,
that is my first post so please do not be very critical to my english level and PPC skills .
now this is an old thread but for BULGARIA the correct registry value is "9". Here the mobil numbers are as follows "08xx 123456" (9 digits without the ZERO at the very beginning). that is why the usefull number is that (default for my TD2 was 8). Now after this fix the phone can correctly identify which number i want to dial when i am inserting it by digits, instead of selecting the exact person. i do not know am i explaining correctly but i will try to put some more detail on that. When i want to dial some particular number (for example "08xx 123456") the phone select me the correct contact no matter how i put this contact in memory. with "+3598xx 123456" or only with "08xx 123456". before that intervention the phone identifies me the correct contact only if i type the digits, exactly the same way that i have added it to the memory. So i think that this registry key does not have a universal resolution. the resolution depends on how many digits is using tha particular mobile operator.
i hope that will be helpful for someone who is happy to own an HTC and is happy with it ... like Me

App to prefix numbers with operator codes

Hi there,
I have a Moto Q11 from Vivo (Brazil) and it came with wonderful little app called "EP", which does a simple yet awesome thing:
It will replace (or add) as a prefix, the operator code I choose. No matter how the phone is stored in phonebook (already with the operator code, city code, or just the number itself) it properly adds or alters the phone when I dial it.
You may configure it with the operator of your choice, and change it as you please. For example, let´s say all my phonebook entries are with "015" as the long distance operator code (eg. 0151121342213). If I configure the app with another operator (let´s say, 031), when I hit dial, it will in fact dial 0311121342213. The actual phone in the phonebook is not altered. If the phone number is stored as 1121342213, it will add the 031 as well.
I really need such an app in my Rhodium and Kaiser!
Does any1 have any idea of an app that would do this ? Tried copying the executable from the Moto Q11 to my Kaiser and it didn´t work (it says the app is not for that platform)...
Tia!

I was not able to find a program that would do it. I have found that the EP stands for Easy Prefix, and googling it gave me the impression that this app is standard for Motorola phones.
Any further help would be appreciated...

I got same issue, bro
Can anybody help people like us ?
TA

Just fyi, so far no luck

Have you tried Magicall? ( http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html )
It can change any number you dial, based on rules. I think this would work for you (so, for example, if you dialed anything starting with 789, it would replace that with 123.
I use it for ADDING numbers to the start, so that certain numbers get dialed using a calling card, but I'm pretty sure you can replace digits as well
