hey,
looking for a way to be able to dial a number off my contacts when using a calling card. ie, when i call the calling card, it tells me to enter the number i wish to call, so instead of having to hand dial it in there, is there a way i can just go to contacts and insert that number? seems silly that i have to write that number on a piece of paper and then hand dial it. thanks

Insert a "w" into the number to have the phone stop and wait for you to press send to enter anything that follows. Insert a "p" to have the phone pause for 2 seconds and then chug along. So for your contact:
(Calling Card Co. Phone #)w(CC Access Number/PIN)#p(Contact Phone Number)#
would dial the calling card, wait until you pressed send, enter your access code/pin for the calling card followed by a pound sign, pause two seconds (so the system can do its thing), and then dial the contact number followed by a pound.
You'll obviously need to customize to match the way your particular CC works.
Is it a silly question to ask why you are using a calling card on a cellphone? Are there any plans left that don't include long distance?
I'll make my guess in two words - "International calls."
Either that or he's trying to hide those 1-900/976 calls from his gf/wife.
$2.99/min doesn't last long...
haha na guys, i'm calling international. much cheaper to use calling cards than to dial straight. i'm still at school, and i tried what you said, didnt seem to work, but i'll try it again once i get home. btw, its the type of calling card where my number is saved with them, so i call the card, and it automatically asks me for the number i wish to dial thanks

Well the same dialing suggestions apply. Whatever you dial on your phone manually needs to be inputted using a 'w' for anything entered manually or a 'p' for a pause, which sounds like what you need. You can put multiple 'p''s for longer pauses like: 1234567890ppp12345 which would give you roughly a 6 second pause.
You can also try inserting commas, e.g:
18007777777,,,0119991234567
But I don't think you can tap a contact phone number and have it inserted mid-dialing stream. If the numbers you are calling will always use the calling card I would just save the calling card sequence as part of each of their numbers.
My personal recommendation is to use SunnySoft calling card and, if you are in the US calling internationally, GorillaMobile.
I'm originally from the UK and call the UK a LOT on my cellphone.
This combination makes it totally painless, just have the international contacts in the phone book as a regular contact (preceded by +44 in my case) adn just press dial. All completely seemless and Waaaaayyyy cheapper than AT&T (even reduced rate) International calling.
Just my 2c
This program could help solve the problem for you.
You can store you calling card and pin with this. Then, you can use contacts and select any phone number and you will see a "Call with calling card" on it.
I use this extensively.
Hope this helps

Very cool. Thanks so much for the binaries.
I think the source can be found here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158783.aspx if anyone needs to tweak it. I went ahead and installed the signature (pulled a copy off the CAB in PK7 format), but I don't think it's required.
I've wrestled with it for a few days before I found a post claiming contention with the WM version of Google Maps. Sure enough, after uninstalling GMaps and and uninstalling and ReInstalling the callingCard cab, all worked well. I can live without GMaps.
Contrary to the doc, you can place symbols along with letters in your pin. Since I have to enter two pins with my card mine looks something like:
12223334567#pp1234#
That enters the first PIN (Account number) # then two pauses. Then it enters the second PIN (PIN) and #. I think reboots are required between regedits for this to work properly.

Hello,
Thank you autosoori and Dan. I've added a very quick and dirty configuration GUI to it (its been a while since I've done any C++ programming to decided to use C# instead - apologies for the rubbishness on my part, but you will require .NET CF). The GUI is launched from the context menu in the Contacts list. Context sensitive help is provided within the app. Changed DLL so that device reboot is NOT required when registry changes are made.
I've only tested it on my Trinity running AX3L's WM6 ROM. Plan on adding support for multiple CC vendors (wife uses several calling card companies depending on destination). Apologies for the lack of clipboard support on edit controls.
Two files:
CallingCard.dll
CallingCardEdit.exe
I've wrapped them in a cab file. Alternatively, copy the two .exe's from zip to the original CallingCard's install dir; add a regstring in HLCU\Software\Microsoft\CallingCard called "ConfigApp" with the value being the full path to CallingCardEdit.exe; restart device.
Cheers
it works fine at my SX66 WM6, but only works with contact Menu than any other GUI .
hope for more functions
Changes requested
Hi,
My previous username was a bit non-random (for obvious reasons!), so I've changed it. Anyway, tell me what changes you want and I'll see if I can fit them in. If anyone wants the source, I can mail it to them.

I installed it and it's works fine, but today stopped work... the link appears, but I can't call with it. I tried to install it again... the same...
any idea?!
Here is a big problem I have with this CAB when used with GoogleMaps. If I install CallingCard AFTER GoogleMaps ... no Context menu for CallingCard appears in Contacts.
If I install CallingCard BEFORE GoogleMaps ... both GM and CC context menu appear, but when I select something like "Call work using calling card" it tries to use GoogleMaps instead
GREAT Application / New Features
GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks a lot !
works very well !
is there a way to use it with the call shortcuts for fast dialing ("numérotation rapide" in french) ?
it would be a very very very nice feature !!!
other options (less important, but pretty nice) :
1. ability to dial # after the "dial number"
2. in settings : ability to choose "0 secs" on each menu (pre-pin pause and pre-dial Pause)
Thanks in advance

I havent reviewed this app for a long time - apologies. I've moved calling card provider to one that gives me a local number for each of my international contacts - nice!
Anyway, if someone desperately needs some work on it, I will try to fit it in - let me know.
Phil82de: I noticed the problem with Google Maps. I will try to look into it.
samerweb: Again, I'll see what I can fit it. What exactly do you mean by call shortcuts? If you mean phone Quickdials, then you could save the number that is actually dialled directly as a contact. Can you clarify.
Thanks.
hi i have installed this file on my mobile, but can't find the setting. please help
after many cigarettes and plenty of internet trolling i came up with this solution 2nite. i tried many different options and combinations, this is what worked best. the idea spawned from the modaco forum:
http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocke...-to-the-WinMo-missing-call-recording-feature/
sounded like a sweet idea, but i have att and i dont know how to leave myself a voicemail. i also use the callwave voicemail now and i couldnt figure out how to do it there either.
anywayz enough about me....this is what i came up with........
Prerequisites: 3 way calling or conference call, and long distance(u will be calling a new york city area code)
1) go2 http://drop.io/ and create a new drop
here is some info http://drop.io/voice
2)in your new account window http://drop.io/yourname u will see a number
save this number in your contacts in this format 123-123-1234pp12345
where 123-123-1234 is the number, pp pauses the dialing, and 12345 is the extension
3)call the number u just saved. after the beep, put the call on hold. then dial the number of the person u want to record. when u are connected with them, go2 menu and select conference.......engage in interesting conversation......press end.
4)go2 your new drop.io url. u will now see your conversation. click listen and then download. if u want to delete, go2 interactive tab and click delete.
5)have fun
sounds like a pain, but the whole process of calling, hold, calling, conference, takes about 15-30 seconds.
i tried a few other recording options, but this 1 seemed to be the best
1) braincast - disconnects when u put it on hold
2) jott - only record up2 30 seconds
3) google talk - limited to 10 minutes
4) some others can't remember, but drop.io ended up being the best solution. just make sure to password your account and to only allow viewing of files, dont want any1 listening in on ya
5) drop.io allows recording up2 100mb, which is about 100 minutes for their free account.
also i am using an att tilt with duttys 6.1 rom, but i dont see why this wouldnt work on any wm phone
or do this:

This tweak doesn't have anything to do with the registry or anything remotely technical so don't worry about applying it it will take less time to do than to read this post!
If you think you Diamond's ringing time before it goes to voicemail is too short then you can do this to lengthen it.
It don't know if this works on all networks at least I know it works on Orange UK.
Go to phone type the following.
**61*07973100123*11*30#
Press call...wait for a confirmation....done!
I'll explain a little more, this should work on all networks and is not a "Diamond" specific tweak, it just tells the network's system to let your phone to ring longer for the person calling you before it goes to voicemail, or the "This person cannot take your call message".
The important thing is the middle part.
After the **61* part is the number for your network provider's voicemail service, in my case on Orange UK it's 07973100123, please check with your network provider what this may be, they may call the number the "access you voicemail from abroad or any other phone" number.
The *11*30# part tells the system how many seconds to ring for, this can be anything between 10 and 30 seconds in 5 second increments. - 10, 15, 20 and so on...
Please let me know if this works on other UK providers, and re-post with your findings, i.e. what the voicemail access number is for each one.
How to check if it worked? Phone yourself and see how long it rings for!
Happy Days!
.G.
Edit 23:51 12/08/2008:- It won't work with the short code for the voicemail.
i.e. the 123, 901, 171 numbers - it had to be the full version. Again from an Orange handset the voicemail number is *Hotkey 1 or 123, To listen to
voice mail from another phone is 07973100123.
Heh, Sweden Tele2/Comviq it's **61*46252(voicemail number (in my case 222))**30#
Just tried it but using 901 (for o2) instead of the Orange voicemail number.
Haven't tested it but it did say 'Succeeded' in a notification bubble so it must've done something right.

Wow thats an old one I remember that from about 10 year ago when some nokias had the menu option to divert for 10,20 or 30 seconds in a menu...
Or you could just change it in the phone
Go Start->Settings->Phone->Services and ( don't know what's it called in english ) menu option ... then press 'get settings'.
Chose 5,10,15,20,25 or 30 seconds...

Sure my Friend:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/PhoneCallFwd/DelaySeconds
It's a Dword Value, so put your value! (20 for 20 seconds,25 for 25...)
Guess by the age of this thread it may have been solved elsewhere, but having recently come across this problem and tried the **61* and settings\phone\service\-no settings- and the reg hack would like to solve this as well.
Not sure why I don't have no 'service, listed under settings\phone\service?
I have an htc diamond with a t-mobile sim if it helps?
Brilliant ! Worked a treat (**61*XXXXX ...) Thanks a mil !
great info

this has now sorted it so i have abit more time to get to the phone 10/10
am I doomed ?
None of the above methods worked.
Tried
- calling **61*+33610061766*11*30# (for french SFR) : msgbox says "Opération réussie" apparently, OK
- Nisse's method (Start->Settings->Phone->Services) keeps displaying 20s after I change it to 30s, close the settings and try again
- ZeuBug's : Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/PhoneCallFwd/DelaySeconds surprisingly displays "30" as value
- have soft reset the phone a couple of times,
but, whatever I do
- the settings always display "20 s"
- the call rings no more than 3 times,which is never enough to pull it out of tight jeans pocket! (no, solution is not to use a handbag, thanx)
Any idea if an other setting somewhere might be blocking or overriding this one?
____________________
16/09/2009 : After controlling with HTC tech support + operator (french SFR) tech support, the problem lies with the operator: SFR does not allow changing this setting!!!!!
Apparently, french Orange users can't either? (to be confirmed by Orange users)
just for those with same problem, initial ring delay can be turned down with :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=894882#post894882
The wm5_ringdelay_patch_normal-v1.2.zip contains a cab which does turn down the inital delay so I now get 4 rings instead of 3 before transfer to voicemail.
Great thanx to Tuatara
I got this ATT tilt one month ago. And want to set it up for one relative who is nearly blind but not deaf. So I am looking for a dialer program that can read any number key being pressed (e.g. one for 1) and repeat (pronounce) the whole number (e.g. 18006543210) when the call key is pressed. If the program can also read out the number that called in, then it will be perfect.
I guess these may not be hard for experienced programmer. Probably changing some sound files (.wav) may have this work. But I'm a newbie who know very little about programming for mobile phones.
If you know any solution, please let me know. Thanks a lot.
well...
I just did a software called DTMF Dialer, that does not do the same, but I guess I could hack it to dial the real number and say the numbers as confirmation, I am not a super duper C# coder but I think I can do it, if you are interested im me.
Microsoft Voice command is no good? One can simply call out the numbers to dial and it'll ask for confirmation.

I agree with telegraph. Ms Voice command reads out the numbers as a confirmation, it also announces who is calling when a call is comming in.
For anyone who might be interested take a look at the link below. ATT is offering a deal for Mobile Speak to assist people with visual impairments for $89. The program usually costs a LOT more, so it is a great deal. Funny that I have not been able to find information on this on ATTs site...

I do not whether this wil help- I use Sony Ericsson p990i - with it and P1 - one can dial by pressing the bluetooth button and say the contact's name of-course your sister should record it first (you must help her with that). The other positive thing is if a call comes in and it is in the contacts - then the caller/recorded name will be played back. I am also trying to help a blind guy - [email protected]

Well That was fast.Thank you so much,Now while you are there,I also have found that if I receive a text from someone not in my contact list,The only way I seem to be able to add them to my contact list is to dial their number and hang up quick, and then I have the option to add it,I bet you know better

Not entirely sure of the exact details but if you open the txt message and press and hold on the number you should get an option to save that number to contacts.
Hi
Well thanks again,I am sure I did that, which is what made it start to dial, will try it next time to see if it was finger trouble my end
Tis a nice handset,I am fine with windows,just need to get to know the touch screen system better,
