Hi,
as far as I know, Windows Mobile for Smartphone supports the "Alternate Line Service", a feature allowing one to have two phone numbers on one contract and switch between these numbers. The necessary menus for this service are only visible if the service has been activated in the CSP of the simcard.
However, eplus (Germany) offers this service, but does not activate the simcard. Therefore it is necessary to activate the menus manually, which could be done on e.g. Nokia phones by so called CSP-override.
I wonder if it is possible to activate these menus in windows smartphone as well, e.g. by a registry hack?
Thanks,
Chris

In Windows Mobile, would anyone know how to configure "+" in phone contacts to translate to specific international direct dial access code?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is done automatically, you don't need to configure anything.
If you have special needs (some dialling prefix etc), you can try Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->Extended->Dialling Rules (translated from a German TyTN, so the names on your device will probably be a bit different. "Extended" is simply the right tab; I have a feeling that on an English device its name may be completely different )

Thanks.
Yes I do need to dial the prefix provided by a long distance service which is cheaper than default IDD service of my mobile company.
I have tried but somehow it didn't work. I will do further research I think I may not have configured the dialling rules correctly.

Has anyone found a way to get the carrier name in the today screen?
There is a registry hack somewhere which shows the state of the radio and the carrier name, do a search.
I found how to do it...anyone interested here are the instructions...
Customize operator's name
To show specified operator name set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=0 (DWORD decimal)
And then at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names
add the code and the name to display. The value is 5 digits "CCCOO", where CCC is 3-digits country code, and OO is 2-digits operator's code. For example:
"25099"="BEE LINE"
For country and network code, go to wikipidea for mobile country code and network code
To show operator name based on the SIM card used (eg for cases where dual SIM adapter are used), set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=1 (DWORD decimal)
For my dual-SIM adaptor, when I switch between SIMs, the phone with default settings showed always one and the same name, until I reboot the device. Then, it was not able to retrieve operator's name from one of the SIM cards I use. Probably it is an adaptor fault. But anyway, after I changed ONSDisplayRule to 0 and set more up-to-date names for operators that I use, I now always see the name of the operator of the chosen SIM.
Change the "Message Sent" and other general notification bleep
This will change the sound of other pop-up messages as well as SMS sent bleep. The default sound is the `msgbox.wav` in the \Windows directory. To change it, go to
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default
And change to the names of other wav files in your \Windows directory without the `.wav` extension.
AKU2 ROMs tweaks
These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs
Show Wireless Today item
By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Temporary?
Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I did the change and it worked. I could see the carrier name on my today screen. But after I soft-reset PPC, I see the carrier number 'xxxxx' instead of the name.
Am I missing something?
Please help.

Edit- This is strange, but the tweak seems to be working for now, even after a couple of soft-resets. Will test further and keep posted. Thanks
easy way a program call OpMon by mortscript
Batterystatus can also display carrier name
While On Roaming
Will the text change when i am on Roaming...
Or is there any plugin to show the current location(area info) that is broadcasted by the mobile towers
I have the Cingular 8125/w the new AT&T 3G Sim Card and wanted it to show the "Operator Names" so I searched for hours and all I found was this REGISTRY EDIT
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames
I added "OperatorNames" in the registry and the (MCC+MNC) and provider names, I tried this in several RIL folders in the registry and it NEVER worked for me, after some fiddling around with the registry in my phone I got it to show the Operator Names from the TOWER itself without having to add any of this here is how:
Navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SIM
From there you should see some strings titled:
Eons Enable
EONS Initted Flag
Network Menu Select
ONS Enable
SPN Enable
All of which have a value of 1 Except Network Menu Select, now all I did was change all the strings to a value of 0 and gave the Network Menu Select a value of 1 after that I exited the registry editor and noticed my phone said Cingular instead of AT&T, after a soft-reset all the values changed back to what they were BUT the name still says Cingular and when I did a manual network selection search it showed Cingular and i Wireless when it used to show AT&T - AT&T. How this worked I don't know and I don't know if it will work for everybody. Also I found from AT&T that within certain "City Limits" they don't allow you to switch to the roaming partner (i Wireless in my case) because they have had to many problems with people who leave AT&T coverage and it switches to the roaming partner but will linger on it too long when they are back in AT&T coverage.

It was usefull for me, I even put my name on it.
Hi All,
Its me Fox,i am an old user in this forum where i get lots of help from here and the people here are really helpful.now a days im feeling a problem developing an app and i am writing it in details in below
The requirement of our mobile software:
1.
The target of the software is to gather some network info remotely avoiding any notification to the target mobile user and not installing any software in the target mobile.
Let me explain the idea in detail. First of all, we know that if we press *#06# then we can see the IMEI number of the set. So, there might be some secret way or code so that anybody can get the IMEI number of any mobile set with the help of just target mobile number.
That was just an example. However, there are some system of ping to check the reachability in IP network. In GSM network also there should be some secret code by which ping, trace route targeting a mobile number is possible. By these, the availability of the target can be confirmed. By the trace route result, we can obtain the path Of the pong reply or ping, present cell id. The individual cell ID also carries the name of the area in Unicode which is displayed in many sets optionally. That text may also be obtained from that. Actually, we want to do this by developing and installing an android software. In that car, we need to know the coding, programming language and special DLL or header that has to be called for this purpose.
2. Is there any way to call or search IMEI in any mobile network? Is it possible to find out the mobile number by inquiring with IMEI number from any mobile?
3. There is a way to configure a GSM modem with a cloned SIM may be so that the target mobile's all traffics including voice and SMS, may be data also. By default, all SIM's destination priority setting is 0. In the case, the modem has the higher priority so that at first the traffics reach there, modem software captures and records the traffic and then throws again to the target device. It's clear that here, the modem acts in transparent mode so that the target do not feel anything as well as it does not catch eyes of operators. We want to do this.
please i need a help on this badly,
I've just bought a brand new Microsoft Lumia 950XL. Excellent phone but for me useless, because is not possible to activate the mobile hotspot. With my business contract I have phone data only with a personalized APN. So I have to set my Internet APN in the specific section, and everything works well as a smartphone. But as soon as I try to activate hotspot, the phone (probably) switch to default phone profile of the operator (TIM) where I have no data. This is a common problem, but both with android & IOS phones it' simple to force your phone to use ONLY your added APN, simply by specyfing in the field APN Type the parameter SUPL; DUN.
But WM10 has not this or similar option. So I wonder if there is any workaround (maybe a registry key?) or I have to leave WM as many...
