How to enter correct numbers format in contacts? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi all,
I'm just wondering, how to write phone number in right format in cases, when I need an additional digits to be dialed. For example, Voice Mail. I should dial an access number and the PIN. I just want to automate this process. In all my previous phones I just added "p" or " , " before the PIN. In our phone just "w" is works and it's meaning, that I need to push "talk" button again to dial rest of the number (PIN). Any ideas how to make it works fully automaticly?

Default to Business instead of mobile number

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the phone default to the business number instead of the mobile number of a contact?
This can save me quite some usage costs.
How is it you are calling people? Do you use the default WM6 contact's list?
I type in some of the keys of the keypad until the right contact is found and the press the green button to call the person.
This takes the mobile number as default.
Got it...
I'll explain step by step what i did, just so we know we're on the right page...
Pressed Green Phone button
Typed in name using On-Screen Button's (I typed in Kenny, so dialled 5 3 6 6 9)
When Kenny's name appeard, I pressed and held his name, so a menu appeared from my stylus
I selected "Work"
I immediately hung up (cos i didn't actually want to call him, just test this theory )
From then on, whenever I dialled Kenny, it would default to his work number.
Try this and see if it works, I know it's not an ideal solution, but let me know how you get on...
EDIT: Alternatively, I've just found out you can use the D-pad to change the default. SO step by step again...
Press Green Phone button
Use on-screen dialler
when your desired contact appears, press down on the D-Pad untill you highlight them
When highlighted, press right on the D-Pad to change the default number (for reference; h = home, m = mobile, w = work)
That seems to work.
The problem is however that it takes me to remember I actually called this person before.
The trouble is that I have 700 colleagues with a short (cheaper) business number and a mobile number.
An alternative I tried was to switch the business number and the mobile number in the contacts, but the I get in to trouble when I want to send an SMS.
Thanks for letting me know about the PAD
I was actually calling people and hanging up all over the place until I realized through Your note that I can just go into contacts and while scrolling down the contacts with the nav-pad change their default number by pressing the nav-pad sideways... No need to call people hanging up on them
That sounds excellent.
I tried it and it works for me.
Thanks for the tip.

Calling card calls + PIN

I searched XDA but didn't find a hint (yet).
Calling my intl. provider requires an 11 digit PIN.
Is there a way to submit the PIN after calling an 800 number without manual entry?
I had YEARS AGO a Nokia where you could simply use OLD Hayes AT commands ("," for a 1/2 second dialing pause) but it wont work with the std. or wizard dialer. I was thinking about something like 1-800-123-4567 ,,,,,, 999 888 777 11
Template dialing
Save the number in the contacts and embed letter p where you want it to pause.
For one of my contacts the number looks like this
1(800) 725-8382p31337p1p0114455555555
This will leave the phone to dial 1-800-725-8382 calling card access number.
pause.
enter the pin 31337.
pause.
enter 1 to specify that I want to place a call.
pause.
dial the number 0114455555555.
One more thing, I tried to seperate the phone number with dashes like 011-44-55-55-5555 and that didn't work. It stopped dialing as soon as it read the dash. So I guess you can't have dashes except in the begining.
yeah its correct
p (pauses/pulses) can be used
in nokia and sony ericsson p can be used by pressing * threee times repeatidly in ppc using
press * twice only
best wishes

DTMF

Please any body know of any dailer app that can send numbers automatically as dtmf string i.e to make international call using prepaid card I have to write down the phone number then input it manually after entering the card pin. Most mobiles have this funtion but not Winmo.
Do you mean you want a app thats creates sound out of the speaker in DTMF off a contact??
If you need that i have a contactmgr plugin for that!
(Sorry for my bad englisch)
scenario: I have a prepaid phone card to make an international call. The card has an access number and pin. To make a call, i must first dial the access number, enter the pin after the voice prompt then lastly my destination phone number. I dont want to key-in each number seperately. I want a dialer that would permit me through pop-up menu to search for destination number in contact list then another pop-up menu with option to send number or contact found as DTMF. Most mobiles and cordless phones have this function why not winmo?

Dialer forcing ussd codes?

Why are my speed dial contacts trying use ussd codes when pushed?
What do you think is corrupted?
Tia
Your speed dial entries?
Yes, by holding down the number you assign, its supposed to dial, and out used to work fine. Today it tries to send the number as a ussd code?
Ooops, I just noticed that its not speed dial after all , its the actual phone number as it is dialing my office vmail and had a # at the end of it.
This used to work....mmmmm
Figured out out, out must have stripped out comma for the pause somewhere along my many flashes and ti restores...

Copy and Paste in Dialer

Just trying to find a way to paste a code into the dialer ... or better.
I have a special service for international calls. I have to call a number and then I am supposed to punch in the number I actually want to call. Ideally, I'd just like to be able to select the contact number and have the number be entered when I hit the number.
Any ideas??
Press and hold the area above the num pad, release your finger and you'll see the standard paste menu like in every text form

I tried that of course, and the paste does not appear.
Like this?

There's also a Telephone button inside the context menu.
Not exactly. When you open the dialler, you can in fact paste. This what you have shown.
But once the call is being made, you can no longer paste. Even when you go back to the keypad.
Let me explain. I have a special dialing service. First I need to call a special number.
Then I need to paste in the actual number I want to call.
I am too new on the forum to link in a video, but I hope the above is clear.
A solution - of sorts
I've just seen your post. I appreciate it's a bit late in the day.
I've had the same problem
I use 18185 to save money on international calls. My previous phone allow me to cut and paste the number I wished to dial while connected so the access service.
It would seem that is not possible to do this on an S10.
I have however found a workaround which achieves the same result.
If you create a new phone book entry adding the access number first of all.*
In my case 02081802828
Then a comma which will give you a 2 second pause
Then the number that you wish to dial
Save this into the phone book and you will then be able to dial the number directly without having to input any phone number on the dialling screen.
02081802828,+330170732020 would be the complete number.
Hit the phone entry button and your good to go. It does take a while to connect so be patient.
Hope this helps
solved, but no longer needed.
Yes, that is what I did. But it was annoying to have to do it for all of my contacts.
I ended having to download all of my contacts and then edit them all with a code editor macro.
It was annoying but it worked, and for about a year my phone bill went down to just about nothing above my basic monthly fee.
Now, I've changed jobs and have a work phone, so I don't have to worry about it
