How to add a standard part to a group of phone numbers?

Hi!
I'm thinking about using my M1000 with my company's Sim.
Problem is that to dial personal numbers I would need to add "46" before the number I am dialing (this is for cost control... the company pays for phone call of collegues and clients, I pay for my personal ones).
Now, I am afraid that due to this restriction I would not be able to tap a personal contact number and have it dialed and also that I would need to delete the whole number from the phone display in order to add the 46 at the beginning.
Is there any application that would allow me to easily add the 46 in front of personal numbers before they get dialed?
THANKS!!!
Chris

Are you saying that you can't simply add the "46" to your personal phone numbers in your Contacts list? I just added "46" in front of a number in my contacts list and dialed it. It did not work on my network, but it did dial it.

I could but...
I could add the 46 in front but...
0) do it for all of my contacts its a long work...
1) It would be difficoult to revert should I change sim
2) I would get all my contact screwed if I try for example to dial from my PC or share them with someone
3) I don't need the "46" for SMS... so if I put it for SMS they would not go...
4) Incoming calls would not be recognized becouse the caller Id could not match the caller with the 46...
So it would be best if I could just add the "46" with a botton to the end of a number I would like to dial, just before I dial it...
Thanks anyway!

DTMF tone sending

I am sure you used to be able to do it on the universal but now it seems I cant !!! does anyone know how !!!

I doubt you can send them, but you can enable tones in the phone control panel (I think it's there, but somewhere near there).
That just makes the phone keypad beep lyrical.

my old nokias can do it and so can my GF's samsung D500 !! a very useful option when using 3rd party dialers, I dont understand why this phone cant do it !!!

I always use this feature to send over the calling card PIN number and the destination number so even though I make an international call using phone card I do not need to puch the PIN etc manually. Just record the number into the contacts and use some delays. It works.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I know what you mean but that means I need to change all the international numbers stored in my phone, it would be easier if I could just call the number and then choose the number out of my contacts and send tones !!!

i have the same issue. i use an international caller to dial out to america and on my nokia i would just send the tones of the numbers i wanted to dial. now i have to write them down so i can punch them back into the xda. shame

Assuming I understand your problem correctly, it sounds like the problem is with your calling card provider and not your phone. The Universal, like any other phone, ought to send DTMF tones through in-band audio -- pretty standard stuff. I've tested this with my calling card provider and I'm able to put in my PIN code through DTMF without any problem.

I think that what these guys are describing is the ability, whilst on a call, to say "Send DTMF" and then choose a number from your contacts. This way, you can store your calling card number in one phonebook entry and all your other contacts as normal, then you choose the calling card to dial and then "send" the number for the other contact. However, you usually need to append a "#" with these services and the number needs the international prefix (so USA becomes "001" instead of "+1"). I generally just store two numbers against each name - one normal and one with integrated calling card.
I don't think anyone is saying that they can't manually key in the number mid-call.

That's exactly right, Melty.

Strange problem with SPV M3100

Hello everybody,
I have a strange problem with my PDA. I'm using WM6 Black Satin ROM. My contact list contains over 400 contacts (and over 500 phone numbers). Each phone number is saved in format +xx xxxxxxxxx, cause in that format it comes from Outlook. Most phone numbers have +48 as country prefix and 9 digits with phone number (cause in Poland cellular phone numbers have 9 digits). I have set Call Id match value to 9.
Everything worked fine, but from a few days i noticed, that some (about 10% of all) contacts are not recognizedy by phone when someone calls. PDA displays only phone number (the same which is stored in my contact list), but cannot find contact name. Similar - when SMS arrives, I can see only phone number, name is not recognized. When I open SMS and tap sender's phone number, PDA asks if he should store that number in contact list (that number is already there). Storing doesn't help - I tried to create new contact, store in existing.
I tried to delete problem contacts and recreate them - it helped in 2-3 contacts, rest still is not working properly. I tried to change Call ID match value - tried values between 3 and 12, doesn't change anything. In some cases, phone recognizes phone numbers after removing '+' from phone number, but without '+' I'm unable to make calls. I can remove whole '+48' (and phone recognition still works), but I need country prefix, cause I often have to make calls using roaming.
Please HELP !!!!!!!!!

Have you tried 0048 instead of +48 for the problem numbers? I noticed when my Hermes had its original WM5 ROM, some numbers were sometimes presented by the other mobile network as "07" instead of "+447", so I had that problem. I just had to make extra entries in my contacts lists...
It's not done that though for a long time now (I've changed ROMs a couple of times too), sorry I can't help more.

Thanx for replying. I tried to replace '+' with '00', but PDA still doesn't recognize that number. I think that in some cases '+' makes, that phone number cannot be found.
Maybe there is another setting in registry, which defines length of phone number compared to number from incoming call? I found this setting in HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch. It looks like sometimes PDA doesn't use that setting, cause my numers ale longer than 9 characters (usually 12 including '+'), and adding '+' as first character makes them unrecognizable.

Issues identifing caller from agenda in roaming calls and sms

I noted an issue with caller ID and the firmware that I'm using (JM1 "New").
Whenever I receive I call, the phone recognize the phone and select the correct contact on my agenda. But whenever I'm on roaming of when I receive and SMS the phone can't identify the correct contact in my phonebook, and show the caller number (or sender number on SMS) instead of the contact in my phonebook.
I don't know if anyone else had this issue, or if it's an issue related to the Brazilian mobile phone infrastructure but I didn't had this kind of issues on my previous phones (Windows Mobile, Symbiam or Blackberry) and I would like to know how to solve this.
Important information: Here in Brazil, when you want to make a long distance call you have to choose the long distance operator on each call. In order to do so you have to select the operator using a two digit code after the long distance code "0" and before the city code. So it's like this:
0 XX 11 99999999
Long distance Operator City Phone
code code code number
So, in order to make this easy, I already included the Operator code in all contacts in my agenda, like: 0411199999999
But when I receive a call (from someone not in my agenda) it doesn't include the operator code. It shows only the phone number if the caller is from my city (99999999) or 0+city code+number when the caller is from other city (02199999999), without the operator code.
So I think that the issue is that the phone tries to match ALL the numbers from caller ID with the first numbers for that contact. So if the caller ID shows "99999999" it will match it with my agenda if I have "099999999", or "0411199999999). So as long as it finds the "99999999" it doesn't matter how long the number in my agenda is.
But sometimes (like when I'm on roaming or when I'm receiving and SMS) the caller ID shows an additional zero in from of the number (099999999). Since the phone can't match all the Caller ID numbers it can't find the contact in my agenda and shows the caller number instead of the contact.
So in order to this work for me it should only match the first 8 numbers from the caller ID with my phonebook. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there a way to change the agenda configuration in order to match only the first 8 numbers?

[Q] Strange issue when receiving call [Contact Name not Displayed]

Dear All,
I'm experiencing a very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.
