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.

How do I make speedial 1 dial my voicemail like it used to?

I use att and my speed dial 1 used to dial my voicemail, now it does not and I cannot seem to program it under the speedial menu, I can only program numbers greater than 2. Anyone have any ideas?

in dial pad, press 1 and hold it until it dials out.

I think he's saying that doesn't work now... how can he fix it.

go into settings - phone - voice mail and text messaging - get settings, then make sure you have the voicemail number set as this is associated with speed dial 1...

exactly, i was just going to answer that, but you beat me to it.
whatever number you enter in that setting will be set to number 1 speed dial. you may need to check with your carrier to get the correct number.

its already set in there, thats the funny thing, the voicedial number is in there but when I hold down 1 nothing happens!

Withhold Number

I have a tytn 11 from orange and cant seem to find anywhere that I can withhold my my number as I dont want to sent it out. Does any onr know where I can find this feature?
Thanks

You can go to "Settings - Personal - Phone - Services - CallerID", click on "Get settings" and then select what you deem necessary .

just dial #67 before you dial the number and it will show up as "unknown".
This works on a landline also, but you would pick up the phone, dial *67, hear 3 beeps then dial the number.
With a cell phone, just type it all in a row. For example to dial 555-4444, you would enter *675554444 and press send.
Try it between you and friend to see how it works.

Edited as having brain spasm will post when brain works

problem with "call sms blocker"

Hi,
I've found the software "call sms blocker". It had been made to block incoming unwanted calls and logged it... hide private sms...
I've attent to configure it but no way ! it does not stop anything that incoming !
Have you test it ? with success ???

yes. I use it and it works perfectly. It is an awesome program.
The way i have it setup is I have it set to accept all and then I make a custom list of numbers to reject. In this custom list I added all my phonebook contacts. Its kind of confusing but you have to remember that your phone only replies via sms to REJECTED calls/ and or sms. So yeah it sems weird to say reject contacts but this is what u need to do if you want your phone to send an automatic sms reply back to your contact.
So i did this for both calls and sms. I set both to ACCEPT under the "status" tab. then go into each tab "call" and "sms" and create new lists within each. Do this by tapping and holding in the window area and say ADD. Name it, make it REJECT, and make the action Hangup. Then go down to "List" (right soft key) and select number>add>phonebook. You can then check all the numbers from your phonebook that you want to add. Then also under "List" (right soft key) you can go into Advance Opt and set your custom message.
Repeat for the "sms" tab. Tap and hold in window area to make a new list. Name it, make it REJECT type, and I say "move to blocked" for action type. (this creates a new folder in your inbox of your messages so it makes it easy to find the sms that the program blocked. Add numbers from your phonebook same as I said above.
Now one thing to keep in mind. When I first started using this program I found that it only responded to my missed calls and not sms. What I discovered was that all the numbers for the sms list had to have a 1 in front of the number so that it looked like this 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Whereas for my call list, the numbers in the list are like this (xxx) xxx-xxxx. For some reason I dont know why, this makes a difference.
So give it a try. I hope this helps you.

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
