Search for Numbers and Kontack Copy

Hi Everybody.
I got a little suggestion for a tool.
When I'm getting Calls, sometimes the names are not shown cause the number is in a different form in my contacts. For example +49941123456 calls but in my contacts it's 0941123456 so the number is not realized. Or if anybody asks me do you know this number I have no possibillity to search for it.
A tool to search the phonebook for nubers would be great.
Also I'm missing a send contact function. When I want to share one or more contacts via bluetooth. (Infrared already works for singel contacts). And ther is no possibillity to copy a a whole contact's information. Its only possible to copy a single line.
A tool to that could copy contacts and send them via sms and bt would be great.
Thank you ver much.
Alex

sending contacts thru BT is possible.
choose 'Beam contact' just as you would thru IR.
then this would appear :
Infrared .... Align ports
Searching
As soon as anonther BT enabled device is in range it will appear there, just 'Tap to Send' hé voila
pocket Informant lets you search on anything, even partial numbers

Thank you very much for your info.

[search for tip/advice] Accessing contact data - Hooking call start process

Hello,
I would like to try to design an add-on to use VoIP services that offer callback services (Voipbuster, Voipcheap, jajah,...) in a more convenient way.
I don't mean to use the VoIP feature that requires making calls through the data connection of the phone, but I would like more to use the callback feature that allow such service to call me back on my mobile and then establish a connection to phone I want to reach.
This can be easily achieved from the Web account panel : enter your phone, enter phone to be called, then click "Call".
Although this works from PocketIE, this is not integrated with the contact data base so we have to copy the phone we want into the web form and submit. Not a great user's experience.
So this is where I want to go : initiate the call in the most transparent way from the contact manager application.
I imagine that different methods are possible and I would appreciate your opinion of feasability of each one, and if possible, to some pointers to documentation and/or sample code :
Method 1) Make my own app with make its own list of contact from contact data base (SJ Phone do this for example).
+: easy, probably best for prototyping
-: Have to write a GUI for it
Method 2) Like Skype, adding a context menu for "Call with Xxxx service".
+: no specifc GIU, use standard contact manager
-: works only with standard contact manager and not with alternative such as Contact CM
Method 3) Hook in some way the phone's call-initiation process.
How could his be done ?
This will really be my 1st project for WM after Hello World, a little ambitious, so please be patient for it to come out but I am pretty sure that with your support this can come a great app.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
~barbudor~

could be good
i was lloking for thi for a while ,but only could find the java version, and as you mentioned it was little crappy, without integration of the contactlist.... hope your project works out ok.
good luck!!

Suggetions for WM6 Phone Application Replacment

Phone WM6 built in applications Problems
- i try Address book and i contact and photo contact and all other application all are very bad in compare with nokia
the best one of them was address book but have a very big disadvantages
* Very Slow And All its componant is separated so if u are in contact manager and need to move to call history u have to wait 3-6 sec
* No AZ list .. like HTC Contacts (Random Access)
* U Will Take A very long time and effort to add new contact .. if we can config the shortcut (History - Favorites - Dialer) .. i need to add any function also here like adding new contact
* alot of time the address book hangup and a white screen appear instead of the application
* I Hate ... The builtin dialer page(That show call ended ..and dialing ... so on ) and hate it's small tabs that i can't also edit .. why address book coders did not add a custom dialing page ..
* Dialing page .. also after call end it takes 4-7 sec to close and if the mobile was in lock keyboard map .. it is a disaster
* default number feature .. what if i wanna to add a mobile number and a home number to a contact but when i call this contact i always call the mobile not the home
* Contact viewer ... spb mobile shell contact have a very good big button for each item in contact template .. and also the tap feature of Photo Contact ... the hope to see this in address book

Jajah Plugin

I'm a big Jajah user, and one of the things that has been annoying me is the lack of direct support in Windows Mobile.
Therefore, with a little hacking and even less development, I've created a small context menu extension to the Contacts list which allows you to call a contact using Jajah. What this actually does is uses the Jajah API (Web Service).
To use, install the below attached CAB.
You can then run the Jajah Configuration application from your Program Files to set up your User, Password and Number. Note that if you try to dial and one of those isn't set, the configuration application will run instead of dialing.
Note that if you have contacts running, you need to either kill the process (via ControlPanel->System->Memory) or restart the device to have the option appear on your contacts context menu. In other words, if it doesn't work, please reboot and see if it works before leaving messages here.
Additionally, each number dialed should have a prefix (that is, country code).
TESTED ON:
Devices - XPERIA & DEVICE EMULATOR WM6 PROFESSIONAL
Phone #- +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Enjoy - SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!

great job !
thanks for your software !I am a jajah user too .I will testing soon .

How can I paste a contact while dialing?

Hi,
sometimes I want to dial a code and append a phone number of a stored contact.
Result should be like this (only example):
#31#phonenumber
But when I type #31# there is no way to insert a stored phone number.
What can I do? Thx for help.

I am surprised - from my point of view it is a very basic feature of mobile phones.
There is no hint or soluion?
Nobody else with this issue?

I remember that
You could use VITO copy paste to solve this problem.

Thanks for the first reply .
have read about your recommendation. Using VITO copy paste requires follwing steps (if it works in the dialer of TouchFlo):
- Open a contact
- Click to edit the contact (to get an textfield)
- Copy the number
- Open the dialer
- Write the code
- Paste the number
Hmm, no easy way to choose a contact directly from the input field of the dialer?

Hmm, Than im afraid cant help you further..
Alternatively you could manually hide it ( Start/Settings/Phone )
But i think thats common knowledge for you

However, there does not seem to be a chance to use this basic feature.

I asked once more in Rhodium forum and got a very good tool as workaround:
