i have started using my S4 at work
im a cable technician, when i call customers im blocking my number using #31# before the actual number of the client for obvious reasons- its a big company, anything has to go through their customer service center
the thing is, when i call a client using that prefix, its gone in the call log, so when i need to call him again( which often happen) i need to dial the number again which is very uncomfortable as im calling dozens of customers everyday, my older work phone was a simple J105 sony ericsson , which used to saved the number in the call log just as it was, smartphones for some reason, dont...
is this a setting i can change or some other dialer i should use ?
please? anyone?
Maybe try other dialer and contact apps...

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.

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.
do you ever get that one phone call from that same person over and over and you just wish they can go away. well me too. if anybody has a program that can stop a person from calling your phone and send that number to a diferent number or a voicemail u dont have to listen to that would be cool. I know there are call filters out is there, but im looking for something that wont only block the number but also send them somewhere esle. so when they call you can have them rerouted to a different number. maybe to a already dis connected number so it seems to that person your number changed.
we have 2020, any answer for this question?
Kall8.com will allow you forward calls for specific callers. As a toll-free service provider, they also will provide a number if a caller blocks their call.
Youmail is a voicemail service that allows you to have custom messages for every caller & has a lot of options for filtering calls.
Personally, I use both of these services. I forward calls to Kall8 to expose blocked numbers and then forward the call to Youmail to do everything else I need it to do.
At one point I was also using Google voice forwarded from Kall8 as a way of live-screening specific callers that blocked their numbers.
I hope this helps.

Hi @ all,
I have a question or request. First let me explaine the situation.
I use justVoip.com for calling German Cells cheaper and the USA for free. I call justVoips Landline for free (because I have a landline-flat) and they forward the call to the desired number. I used to just save their number before the contacts number seperatet by a "P" (pause): 08912345P0172123456
When receiving calls my Motorola would still recognize the Call-id, also with the voip number in front of it. But my X1 now doesnt recognize calls with their number inserted...
So my question is... either is there a way to have two seperate phone books running parallel or is there maybe a software that always asks if the preselection should be added when making a call??
Or a nother solution I didnt think of yet..
Hope this wasn't to complicated and you kinda now what i mean...
thanks..
Danny
Hello,
I often use an access code to dial internationally, and once I am connected to that access number, I have to enter the number of the person I am calling.
I have an HTC Touch HD with WM6.1pro and cannot find a way to do it. If I connect to the access number, then at the prompt go to my address book and dial a second number, it assumes I want to have two separate calls and puts the access code on Hold... which is not what I want! I do not remember all my friend's numbers, so I do have to use the address book.
With my old nokia n95, once connected I could go to the menu and say I want to dial a DTMF which is the tone you hear when dialing a normal phone. This allows me to follow on with calling the number I need while connected to the call.
Is there a way of doing this on WM6?
I have a kind of work around. I edit my international friends phone numbers as a "car phone" and the numbers look like this
02081802828 p 0027115555555
the access code, then I add p to pause then their number.
The HUGE problem is that when I dial any of my international contacts, the phone displays the same person... so no matter who I call internationally, it always shows a photo of my friend Ian, and displays his name instead of the person I am actually speaking to. I think this is a bug where WM6.1 only looks at the first 11 characters of a number, but the problem is, all my intl numbers have the same first 11 numbers.
Help MUCH appreciated, thanks,
Mark.

Don't know if it will work... but you coud try (using Advanced Config) to increase the number of digits used to "match" the numbers in the contacts... for example to 18 or 19 numbers... but I cannot immagine what other "consequencies"could happen...
Let us know !

Hi Kostas
It seems that the problem is actually with spb Mobile Shell and not windows mobile.
When I dial using the windows mobile dialler, it gets the name and picture right, but when I use spb's dialler it shows the wrong person and name...
I will chase it up with them... and thanks for the good idea, unfortunately the Call ID Match does not help the problem.
Efgaristo!

in my country, hiding your own number when making call has been totaly restricted that is why you can't make calls, because you can make a prank call out of it. just follow what your network provider's policy. Read and Understand there Terms and Condition.
I would find this type of app very useful!
I work in Law Enforcement and I would love to be able to call complainants on my cell phone. HOWEVER, I don't want them to have my number as they would then be able to call me ANY TIME and or harass me if they so desired.
I would love to be able to call them and have them see my Command Center's Office number instead of my cell phone number. That way they could still call me back - by leaving me a message at the Center.
A previous person who posted stated that this might be illegal in his country. I don't know if it is illegal in the US. BUT, I suspect that it would only be illegal if it were being abused.
The apps I found in the Market were only through a service that charged a fee for any call over 2 minutes.
Does anyone know of an app that does NOT use a separate service?
