With the move to 10 digit dialing becoming more and more common, are there any WM6 applications to auto prepend an area code for voice dialing? So if I were to ommit the area code and dial a 7 digit number, a predefined area code would be inserted prior to the phone dialing, and if I manually dial the area code, that area code is used in lieu of the predefined area code.
Anyone ever heard of anything like this?
You can do outbound number formatting with MagiCall from Mobiion. The ability to use expressions to modify the number dialed makes it pretty powerful.

EDIT: Found the filter info on their forums:
Rule name: Prepend area code
Rule type: Outgoing Call
Filter type: Specific number
Phone #: ??????? (each '?' represents 1 digit; so this will match only 7-digit #s)
Action1: Change dialed number v2 (the v1 action didn't seem to work with Tachi dialer)
Call to: xxx{phone} (where xxx is your area code)

My (Genie) WAP dialup number is 915000. How should the country/area codes be configured please (if left empty they default to 0 and (125).
This obviously does not connect.
TIA

To answer my own question - whether the country/area codes are actually dialled or not is determined by the settings in:
Settings/Connections/Dialling Locations/Dialling Patterns. In this case 'g' should be entered for international calls, for the appropriate dialling location (Work, Home etc.).
Similarly, to dial an 0845 number for the GSM connection, the "+44" should be dropped, so the entry is 'fg'.
I notice that there are similar questions on the Forum - and I hope this helps.

Hello...just wondering about an option in the Hermes if some one could tell me about the caller ID settings.
Does it have all 3 options suchs as the following:
Send caller ID to every one
Send only to Contact ( this is this the option I have seen in Smart phones but not in windows pocket pc smart phones)
Send to no one
If some one would be so kind enough to answer this it would be greatly apperciated
Hi Geek,
I don't think there are any settings in the phone to do this but it can be done manually.
There are 2 network enabled settings you can have setup by requesting them from your phone - CLIP and CLIR; CLIP is Calling Line Identity Presentation (show ID - also called CLI) and CLIR is Calling Line Identity Restriction (hide ID). These are done by sending *#30# and *#31# to the network respectfully. It's worth knowing not all network support CLIR.
So if you send *#30# to the network you will enable CLIP and everyone will see your ID. If you send *#31# to the network your ID will be hidden from everyone. your network should say 'accepted', 'enabled' or something similar if it accepts the request.
That covers 2 of your points. Now for the 3rd. If you have CLIP enabled (*#30# - everyone sees your ID) and you wish to hide your number from some people then you dial the number like #31#<number> SEND.
If you do it the other way and leave CLIR enabled (*#31# - no one sees your ID) then dial the number *31#<number> SEND.
Hope this helps.
Gav.
At least the following works for me, so that you may test youself.
The following registry value
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"ONSDisplayRule"=dword
determines whether the phone shows operator's name looking in its own data base (0), or as SIM card reported (1). If you have UMTS, you may also check other values under this key.
If ONSDisplayRule=0, you can redefine the operator's name by creating a string value under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]
The name of 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"
This way you may fully customize the text that is shown for a particular operator.
Moreover, 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.
Is there possibility to have field in adressbook saying in which network contact has his cellular phone? Ideally it should be automatically set based on prefix list (every netowrk has his own) but since it's possible to migrate with number it's useless.
The best would be to manually set network picture for every number.
And it would be nice having this picture also on dialpad skin.
I think maybe it should be possible to somehow overlay network logo onto person's picture?
Hi,
I'm using often companies like justvoip or voipcheap to call abroad. First you call a landline number in UK and then you type in the number you want to call. For example first you dial 01617002727, then you dial 007123456789#. Would it be possible to dial the number from contacts and it would automaticaly dial 01617002727 before? Thanks in advance
best regards
you can try to use FRING, i'm just use this software with voipbuster and voipcheap and i call the contact directly from my sim card without type any other number before
Fring doesn't work without the internet connection. Do you use voipcheap over 3G or you dial a local landline number?
best regards
i use frig over 3g and over wi-fi
MagiCall will do it.
I've tried magicall but it doesn't work. Probably it has to wait until you hear "welcome bla bla" before you dial the number
Maby you can use WM client sip solution, but it works only on speaker.
I use it to connect via 3G to my Asterix Pbx from home.
I think you can find a cab somewhere , but be careful to take the one witch doesn't affect your gps.
You might be able to add 01617002727p007123456789# or 01617002727,007123456789# in your contacts where the p is a pause.
magicalls works perfectly for me. From FAQ:
Most calling cards work in this way:
1. Dial the access number
2. Listen to the voice instructions
3. Enter your card number
4. Wait for a while
5. Enter your PIN number
6. Wait for a while
7. Enter the destination number
You may create outgoing rules like the following in MagiCall to automatically apply calling cards to the destination number.
Rule type: Outgoing call
Filter type: Specific number (You may select any filter type you like)
Phone #: +* (I want to filter international calls)
Action1: Change number
Call to: 8000,,1234,,666,,{phone}#
In the rule above, my calling card's access number is 8000, card number is 1234, PIN is 666. Each comma ',' is used to pause for a second. {phone} is a placeholder which represents the destination number. If you need to pause longer, add more commas. (See attached pictures)
