Hi,
Does anyone know how to call a number and insert a pause in it?
I mean calling a number like +44 (make pause)7716(make pause)123456789
I tried to insert some "standard" character like , w p * # () but windows mobile does not recognize the numer as valid.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Cheers,
Mats
Where ever you need a pause use one of these (,) not including the brackets. It wont work from the direct dialer but you can use it as a number stored in contacts
where would one use a pause?
i guess for two pauses, one would do ,,

Well.. Banking via phone for one thing..
1. Call bank
2. Press account number
3. Press password
4. Press "2" to check how much you've got..
That's an awfull lot of numbers..
With a pause, one can just store the number on the phone.
As for security; maybe not so smart..
But that is just one possible use for a pause..
ah that makes sense
one can have the calling card number too
dial access number, pause pause, dial passcode, pause pause, dial number
is there no calling card number utility in the xda?
if there isnt any way, can i dial two number in succession.
i mean the first bunch of numbers (access number pause pause, dial passcode, pause pause
seond bunch of numbers - regular international destination
Has anyone found a utility or a way to automatically dial numbers using a calling card? This is a rather convenient feature in my previous (non-WM5) cell phone that allowed me to import my corporate phone numbers and then use automatic calling card to dial them without editing hundreds of entries in the phone book.
I have noticed the "Callingcard" code sample at MSDN, however, there does not seem to be a compiled binary available anywhere and I do not have the development environment available.
Any help or tips appreciated.
Ihave been using this one
It is one of the importat things for me
so I use Program called "Long Distance Dialer (Pocket PC Phone) 1.3"
it works on WM2003, WM2003SE and I am runing it right now on WM2005

good luck

Thanks! I did not realize it even runs on WM5. However, it does not see to go past dialing the access number - goes to reorder / busy tone right after. Is there a trick / fix to it?
I am using it on HTC Wizard
I never had that kind of problem
I don't know how to help you
This is my settings
Name: My card name
Acces#: my number (only numeric )
Dial Seq : PIN/Destination
Wait: 1Sec Pin : My pin
Wait 1 Sec Destination
then I go to Contacts I right click on the name I want to dial , it gives me optioon >> Dial using : then Name of my calling card .
When I click on that it gives me list of the phone numbers unther that name .
Since I call from USA I do need to select option << Add 011 before number >> but I do not do it because I added 011 to all phone numbers that I call with the card , in the Contacts
I hope this will help.
Good luck

I installed Long Distance Dialer 1.5 on my PPC. I like it so much that I want to register ($4.99). However 1.5 cannot be purchased anywhere anymore. Did anyone manage to purchase a registration key for 1.5? Or alternatively are 1.3 registration keys inter-changeable with 1.5?
This seems like a great piece of software, but it won't seem to accept pins less than 4 numbers. I have all my number listed with the country code first, so I need to add 00 to call them. In the past, I've configured my calling card feature to use 00 as the pin, which works great, but I can't get this to do it and I don't want to manually add 00 to all my numbers!
Many thanks for any help,
Paul
The link is to version 1.3. What you need is version 1.5. A quick Google will give you two or three sources.
1.5 has no limitations, but has an annoying trial notice pop-up each time you use it. Where can I purchase a registration key?
Thanks for the reply. I've downloaded v1.5, but it still won't let me enter a pin of less than 4 digits. Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Paul
Solved the problem. In v1.5 you can put spaces as well, so, even though it needs at least 4 characters, I can put two spaces and then the two zeros.
Best,
P
Interesting - I was trying to solve my problem with the software dialing only the calling card access number. I defined an address book entry with the whole number with pauses - and still only the access number gets dialed. The card I use follows the "Number followed by PIN" model with a second dial tone after you dial the access number and a third one after the called number. Any ideas what could be causing the issue? Could it be that the Wizard does not recognize that the call has been completed after it dials the access number?
free and the best calling card dialing software
this is reply to betstu2004 request i.e compiled binary from msdn betstu2004 mentioned about
its in cab format and is attached for downloading.
here is the procedure for installing and using it:
1)copy the cab file in ppc and install it
2)then using any registry editor we have to edit the values of number to be dialled and the pin number of the calling card,to do that
open registry editor
go to:
hkey_current_user
then software
then microsoft
then calling card
in this option you have to edit two entries
1st is Number which is your calling card number
2nd is Pin which is your pin number
save the changes
then to use the software
go to contacts
then
with stylus touch and hold the contact(international) you want to dial
you will see an option
call mobile using calling card
click it
and ppc will start dialling using calling card software with stored calling card number and pin
once the card is finished you can input the values of number if different from previous one and pin again
in some cases the new number and pin will only be saved in the registry after soft reseting the phone
you can even adjust the pause time which is 2 sec by default
this software is working perfectly on my xda exec and i hope you all will love it
cheers
My email to the author (VSOFTCODE) of LDD bounced. Looks like I will have to remove it after the trial expires.
Edit: I just managed to purchase a licence through Handango after all.
----->chaniana
Thanks works fine!!
chaniana - BIG thanks - it works flowlessly.
Now - if I could only get it to dial the number before the PIN!
reg key
Well I know this is not a warez site but
would it be wrong if I give out the reg code ??
I think not ,because the software no longer supported by the developer.
what you think ???
One more thing !!
I have Version 1.3 which I bought from www.pockeatgear.com
where did you find v1.5 ???
Let me know
DNO
this is cool....
chaniana , i have been looking for something like this for a while... i have 2003 not 2005 to be able to complie or change this...
I am just migrating form treo 650 and am missing a program TakePhone. what it did it let me create rule
e.g. any number starting with a string it will use a calling card so i could set +44 use a calling card x
that way when i disl a number it will intercept the call an see the first few digits, if +44 it will dialthe calling card and wait for me to hit a button to enter a pin then eait for another button to dial the number, all in a few strokes i was dialing international and never had to change my contacts. when i was there in UK all i do is disabke the rule and voila i am in business...
see if u can do this
i did something similar in VS2003 creating from scratch an app that would list the contacts and i enter a ph and pin in 2 seperate textboxes and hit dial, got it to make a call to the 1800# but could not figure out how to dial the rest automatically so i am stuck
Long Distance Dialer 1.5 at handango.com.
Just pay the 5 bucks, it may inspire others to create affordable useful software!
This software doesn't work with PocketInformant. Any solution ?
I installed Long Distance Dialer 1.5 (Trial), entered Calling card (access#, PIN)
I can see new menu item when I right click "contact", but when I select "Dial CCard" NOTHING happe! No call started.
I'm using Wizard.
Hi
I am not able to see any context menu once I tried using by stylus
I am on WM6.1
Is it still usable
cheers

on our wizards, how do we stick in prefix numbers to get cheaper (or free) calls, see here, pocket pc's are ignored
http://www.internationalphonecall.net/From_a_Mobile.htm
i tried spaces, commas and "p"
there must be a way. it would be really cool if you didnt need could choose which prefix number at any given time of day, as some of these numbers only work mon-friday and you need another number weekends.
there is a "calling card" feature on windows when using a dialup modem connection? something like that maybe
Use two commas between the numbers. I use this method all the times to store my calling card prefix access number, then the PIN, and finally my destination number.
For example, for my mum number (oversea), in her contact, I will use the Office field for this purpose (Home and Mobile) are her real numbers.
In the Office field, I will put as followed:
1800xxxxxx,,xxxxxxxxxx,,011xxxxxxxxxxxx
Access Number,,PIN number,,phone number to dial
When you hit that entry, it will dial, then pause, then submit the next numbers. I succesfully use this method in Windows Mobile 2003 SE (Wallaby) and in WM5 (Universal).
thanks, spot on.
so easy, i guess one comma is just not enough pause.
any idea how get around having multiple numbers, as these numbers only work while you are in the UK, go to france which i do a lot and they wont work.
i figured having 2 different contact groups in outlook and switching them? any idea?
Just use the unused field in your contact entry.
There are so many entries you can use....
Business has several fields... business 1, business 2, etc.
Home has several fields, home 1, home 2, home 3...
Radio...
Fax...
Telex..
Assistants...
etc..
I think i saw a program here wich was able to work as a DTMF dialer, but i´m not shure.
I need a program wich can generate the dtmf-tones from my outlook contacs and add some special number in front of them.
My problem: here at work we only have dect-phones with a storage for 20 numbers. I have all numbers im my private phone so i´d like to have my private phone make my work phone dial the given number plus a special string ( "01" and my password) and so on.
Does anybody know such a tool?
<posting of separate thread as my question in 'ask any question' thread did not get any response'>
I used to own a T-Mobile Mytouch 4g before, which had the pause character as 'p' to store extension along with the phone number. It was working fine for me. I just need to call the number, and it dials the extension given after the pause character 'p' automatically.
Now, I own and use a Nexus 4 and I understood that the pause character on the Nexus 4 is ',' (a comma).
I replaced all the contact entries that had a 'p' with ',' (a comma) in my contacts. And now it is not working, basically, what happens is when I make the call using that contact's number, the number gets called but the extension is not dialed automatically.
Anyone would know how to fix my issue?
