I use a lot of prepay phone cards to call home and they all uses access numbers and pin codes. I always have to write down phone numbers or try to remember them because i can't send or dial contacts directly as DTMF. Can anybody help please.

DTMF help
Thanks but the software doesn't have the feature which I am interested in. I want to be able to send phone numbers directly fron contacts as a DTMF string while already on a call rather than typing it on the pad.
I could have sworn that Pocket Informant 2007 allowed you to do this... (under 2003SE at least) but I can't find it on my Kaiser at all

Hi All ,
i have a SFR330+ or HTC 3600 under WM5
i like so much this phone and i regret just on thing,
the call log that is not group by contact.
I know that this functionality exist under WM6 but i think it is pretty heavy to change a rom only for this
so i would like to know if there is a parameter or a cab or a program to have the call log group by contact
thank by advance & have a nice day
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...

Hi,
My brother and his wife share the same house phone number.
When I call my brother, the phone shows her contact information.
The same happens to other contacts. When I call my wife at home, my contact info shows up during the "call".
People with the same phone numner:
Jan Nissens
Nadine Van den Abbeele
Tom Nissens
Yasmine Nissens
With default Dialer from TyTN II:
When I call Jan at home, it dials Tom
When I call Nadine at home, it dials Tom
When I call Yasmine at home, it dials Tom
When I call Tom at home, it dials Tom
Doe someone else experience this?
Or even better: who has the solution to this problem?
Patrick
You have stored the same nr. on youre brother and hes wife, you need to change what is the main nr. Like now its the house nr. So when you call youre brother, he got the same nr. as youre brothers wife.
Give the troubled contact order to call cell nr. as default instead.
I don't understand your solution. Can you be more specific?

You have saved more than one contact on the same phone number. When you want to dial one of them the other shows as contact as they share the same number.
Indeed, that is the problem. And do you have a solution?
Patrick
he already stated his solution
you have x listed as same number as home
you need to make y the same number but not save it as their home number.
two diff contacts, same number, save one as home and the other contact as something else like "pager, work2, etc...
I'm afraid that this will not work properly with spb Mobile Shell. I can call Home, Work and Mobile. But all these numbers all occupied.
Maybe Microsoft (developer of Windows Mobile) or HTC (customiser of Windows Mobile) has to come up with a solution.

SPB are the ones you want to ask to improve the interface if the solution works normally as stated with WM, to be honest i would just put a contact as say Mat & Shaz if they lived together or as you have since my brain would communicate to me and say they live together and i know who i'm calling...
Merging them into 1 contact isn't a good idea:
- I can't store the birthday for each of the contacts
- They have 2 kids, so there is a total of 4 persons with 1 home phone number
- I want to be able to know who i called before (I tap on the corresponding person to call the home number).

They are not going to adapt to SPB Anyways, make contacts like this then:
Wife Home, Wife Work, Brother Home, Brother Work. Yeah you will have more contacts instead of all numbers in one, but you will not have problem calling them.

Given that HTCs default Sim Manager/Contacts program automatically labels all of my imported from the SIM phone numbers, as Cell Phone numbers (even landline ones) and there seems to be no way to correct this during a batch import (I'm not going to go in and edit each one), I'd have little faith in a software solution but you could dictate to your friends that they all install multiple numbers at their homes and have them individually assigned for your ease of identification
Seriously though, if you want them still to be friends, there's no simple way to get around this problem as the Caller ID information that comes into your phone specifies a phone number and that number is tied to a contact (or several in your case). How is the phone to know which contact is on the other end of the phoneline actually making the call? HTC hasn't developed a crystal ball plugin

I'm not referring to incoming calls, but to outgoing calls.

Sorry for misunderstanding you. Although your post is titled with 'calling', I just couldn't see where the real problem lay as you already know who you're calling because you looked it up in your contacts and tapped it. Although another name may subsequently be displayed on the phone, that's one of the problems with HTCs software (along with incorrectly assuming all imported sim contacts are cell phone numbers). Short of re-writing that code yourself, I know of no way to fix it. You'll be better off keeping all your birthdates and 'finer details' elsewhere IMO. Personally, although I dabbled in using the 'onboard' contacts, I now only use sim contacts.
The other people who have posted here look to have provided plenty of workarounds but it's HTC (or spb) that would need to fix the software to get things exactly how you want it. I suggest that you report this to them and see what they have to say about it.
I have a fix for this; hopefully this will work in your country too.
For my sister I store the home number as 0123456789p1
For my brother-in-law I store the number as 0123456789p2
The "p" tells the dialer to pause and this is then treated like a different number. the number after the "p" is (in the UK) ignored and so can be any number you like.
Unfortunately, on my TyTN II it doesn't work.
My wife and myself have the same home phone number. I added "p1" to my home number and "p2" to my wife's.
But when I call my wife at home, it still shows my contact while dialing!
I also softreset the TyTN II, but it didn't work.
That's sad, and it means it's HTC which cannot handle "p1" and "p2".
Patrick
Workaround works for me

Did you add the p1 or p2 etc at the end of the number? I tried this on mine and it worked perfectly. Yes the HTC software has its bugs but this seems to be a good workaround as long as your network copes with the p1 etc. If it's dialling out ok then that's a very good sign. Perhaps your ROM may have different abilities but my standard setup copes with the rjcb23 workaround perfectly - just a shame I have no need to use it!
I managed to find another trick.
I replaced p1 and p2 into #1 and #2
A big thank you to rjcb23 for giving the hint for adding p1 and p2!

Hi, I had my HTC DT2 for a week now, and in the weekend when i recived a sms and should answer the sms a box came up with "can´t send sms" Have tried switching on/off different things but can´t still send sms. I switch my sim card to a regular gsm phone and it worked perfect, so can some one help me !!
I think the problem is, that outlook saves the contacts with a + and a space between the prefix and the number.. e.g "+49 69123456". try to delete a contact and add this person again with your device and try again.
I have changed my numbers from +46707.....
to 0046707... and just 0707..... no success ! I can receive sms, but not send !!
I have not get my contacts from outlook, they where saved on my simcard and exported when i put it in my HTC TD2, and i can call the numbers, so just why sms? I have downloaded 2pch ring tones from a webpage, could there be some sort of virus ?? I have now deleted the 2 ring tones, but the issue remains.
You need a few settings in your phone to be able to send sms. I have a swedish device, and I guess yours is too? Anyway, I'm not sure what those settings are called in english, so I'll guide you in swedish too. =)
The first is the number to your "SMSC":
Settings - Phone - top thing... "service"? and then SMS
Inställningar - Telefon - Telefontjänster - Röstmeddelanden och SMS
Tele2 is my provider, so I'll have +46707990001 as my SMSC (SMS-servicecenter), check with your provider what number you should have there
Second setting is under advanced network(?)
Settings - Connections - Advanced... - SMS-service
Inställningar - (Mer) - Anslutningar - Avancerat nätverk - SMS-tjänst
I'm not sure if you need to change this, but try set it to only GSM.
Hope that'll work.
had the same problem, ensure that the mobile phone number you are try to message is saved under mobile number in the contact. If it is saved as work number or something else you will have problems sending sms's don't know why but that's how i solved my problem.
