I came across this app posted by rokitski on Modaco. Thought I would share it as I think is pretty slick and can be improved further. Please find cab file attached.
The app is pretty neat. It integrates with the Menu option in the dialer. It allows you to program a location / calling card (sequence of dialing) and then gives you the Menu option to a contact using the calling card sequence on the cell or on speaker (makes DTMF tones for use on land line handset say)... It is designed for WM5 but seems to work with WM6. I do get a popup notification when I use it to dial on my cell... Installs and uninstalls fine....
Have to edit the program files\edialer\location.ini for storing calling card info.
Having said that was wondering if someone could improve the integration with the Menu option. Also I need for it to integrate with my Mictosoft Outlook Business Contact Manager which stores its numbers in a different directory...
Any comments / feedback would be appreciated.

I would like to get hold of either freeware or commercial (not too expensive)application to go on my XDAIIi to enable me to stop incomming calls/SMS/MMS from specified phone numbers. I would appreciate anyones advice on which are the best applications that will enable me to do this. Obviously being a XDAIIi it must be 2003SE compatible.
Call & SMS Filter
I personally use Call & SMS blocker it can create list the person who you want to can contact/can't contact. Give it try:

I am using MagiCall. It is the best.
Hi guys... coming from the PalmOS world, there's still some things I need to figure out on this marvelous WM6 world
Is there an app that lets me use a Calling Card type of call? On PalmOS I had an app called TakePhone that would allow me to specify a certain dialing mask to match and then it would dial my calling card platform (as my Caller ID is authenticated, no need to dial a PIN) and then prompt me to dial the destination number I had selected. Is there a way or an app to do this on WM6?
Thanks!
Check sunnysoft.com
It is a nice app btw, although at first you will be confused how it works
But once you understood, it works fine in HTC Kaiser and very nice.
Other cheap solution is to combine the phone numbers using the contact manager.
So, for example, create this contact:
"Calling Card - John"
<ccphonenumber>ppp<johnphonenumber>
Like this: 09002345ppp004976217621
The ppp = delay delay delay
I am not sure if that works, but I got that trick from here:

Thanks, will check that out.
There must be some good solution out there.
Adding the commas and all that is fine for a few contacts, but doing this for all your international numbers or on the fly numbers is sincerely a p.i.t.a.
Can someone recommend good call management app?
Required functions:
Rejecting (best by showing busy status to the caller)
or directing to voice mail - all (or specified) calls except from address book
logging feature
PS Just recieved my kaiser today
I remember seeing SPB Software House (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com) has something of the sort. SPB Phone Suite I think?

Novomobile Smartfilter Pro, or Photo Contacts (pocketx I think) will both do this based on criteria you set, you might also search the forum here for call firewall. That one is a freebie.
Search for callfirewall in this forum...
I have been using Magicall for some time now and love it. Able to block private numbers, send automated sms with individual messages to groups on your phone and even auto reply to sms's with individual messages to categories or certain contacts. Try it
yeah i also use call firewall, to narow down ur search try the development and hacking forum
SPB Phone Suite does provide blacklist/whitelist capabilities and reply with SMS (among other things).
It is a paid program, so if you're looking for free solutions, this isn't it.
Installed call firewall
free and not bloated with useless features
thanks everyone.
Afternoon !!!
I have a MDA Compact IV & I am looking for the best hopefully ( free ) tool to manage my calls & text messages.
Have previously owned Nokia's & Sony's I am used to being able to set up caller group's & set up profile's on my phones.
The Compact does not seem to allow you to do this !!
Is there a way of doing this I have over looked or a software package you would recommend?
Thanks

I was using that also. But if you are on a call when an rejected number comes in it will disconnect both calls.
I'm currently using magicall and it works great.
MagiCall is fantastic app.
I got my Diamond last Thursday and have been using it with my secondary sim whilst I got used to the phone and became used to using it intuitively... I am happy to say I am now completely comfortable with it and it is *almost* perfect!
Changes:
*Bepe 0.97 FIXED
*Diamond Advance Config tool
*S2U2
*Comm Manager advance.
Thank you to all the great people working to made this device all it should be! Donations forthcoming very soon!
I have just a few questions with regard to my remaining issues:
*The contacts summary page which comes up after ending a call, any way to suppress that?
*Is there any way to bluetooth contacts, files (pictures/music etc) to and from another mobile phone? I tried transferring a jpg image, an MP3 ringtone and a contact via bluetooth from a Sony Ericsson W880i but all three failed!
*Is there any way to display contacts as FORENAME SURNAME as opposed to SURNAME, FORENAME?
Thank you in advance for any advice regarding the above
Anyone?????
Think I might be able to help you out there.
1. To get rid of that contacts thing at the end of a call, tap Phone on the Home screen, then tap Menu and then Options. Go to the Advanced tab right at the end and untick "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call".
2. To receive files of any kind over bluetooth, you have to have Bluetooth turned on in the Comm Manager, but you also need to have the Beam option turned on. If you have the modified Comm manager then you should be able to see the Beam option in there.
3. All my contacts show up as "forename surname" already, I think it might be to do with how you have it set up in Outlook, because I remember Outlook had it "surname, forename" by default and that drove me mad until I changed it. Hunt around in Outlook to change the way they're displayed, then do a sync, and I'd say that should do it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Dave!
The contact summary still seems to come up I did untick this box a few days ago and maybe its a bug but the screen still appears on finishing a call.
I turned on Beam and the bluetooth file transfer now works just fine, thank you!
I will sync up when I get home and have a play around with Outlook, thanks for the suggestion I think that will remedy this problem too.
Is there an advanced contact manager or SMS manager out there by chance? Sending and receiving a few SMS today and the whole transition from TF3d to the WM is a bit jarry, and browsing contacts isnt really possible without the stylus... so far these are the only small niggles in day to day use! The latest version of S2U2 really helps usability and allows you to lock the hardware buttons when you get an incoming call... no more calls answered by mistake with this app!
No bother.
I never manually browse the contacts list because it scrolls very strangely, its impossible to successfully pick a contact.
The best way to select a contact when sending a text, I've found, is to type the first letter or two of their name, eg "DA" and then everyone with a name starting with DA is listed, eg DAD, DAVE etc. Much better than scrolling a list. Its the same behaviour when making a call and you want to select a contact; just bring up the Phone app (the one with the keypad) and start typing their name on the number pad.
I agree though that the process of moving from TF3D to WM6 when sending a text is very clunky. I wonder would HTC consider developing their own TouchFlo messaging software that covers all aspects of sending SMS and email. Unfortunately the iPhone still has the advantage there; you still have to get out the stylus every now and then on the Diamond.
I have most of my most frequently used numbers under the People tab in TF3D... good suggestions as above though.
May give this a try if I cant get along with the SMS...

Will have a search to see user opinions
can somebody please tell me how can I send DTMF tones during a call? I searched in everywhere, but couldn't find any clear answers. do I need to install another application?
thanks for ur answers guys..
(HTC Diamond, wm6.1)
as i understand dtmf is enabled by default. i use it all the time with my phonebank.
yes it is enabled in my phone too, but there is no option to send DTMF tones. I am not talking about hearing those tones while dialling a number. what I mean is I made a phone call and connected, and then I want to send a number from my contacts. this is very practical when using the calling cards.
thanks
Press the keypad soft key(left) to bring the phone keypad.
I know it's not "hearing" the tones, as I said I use them to get access to my bank via the phone and that naturally involves quite a few numbers to be received by the other end. And this is carried out rather silently. Unfortunatly I haven't seen a "send number with DTMF" option. Maybe you indeed have to get an extra app to get that to work. The only place i've ever seen an option to even choose DTMF being enabled whatsoever is in schap's advanced config. I can vaguely recall such an option on an old Nokia pone. Sorry though for not being able to help.
ok, thanks for your comments. I appreciate if anyone lets us know if finds such a program.
I use DTMF tones to navigate in my voicemail and everything works fine here.
