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
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

from memory try changing your regional settings in the windows mobile control panel.
I figured it out.It was the slide to unlock app. I had the configuration set wrong for the number format.
I solved my problem by changing my "Regional Settings"

But thank you for the tip. Found the manual on HTC website, but Fixed Dialing is not listed.
FDN
it's a sim service that alow you to make a list of the number that you want the phone to be able to call.
ie: you buy a phone for your kid and you want him to be able to call only you and his mom, well enter both number in the FDN, though you'll have to protect it entering your pin otherwise anyone would be able to add any number. on mine it is not greyed out, i am using xtreme 6MJ. but it might be dependent of the sim, some may not offer this service

Hi all,
I tried to research my problem but I can not find any help.
Here is what I found by my experiment for this weekend.
Problem: On Froyo ROMs, I can receive SMS but CAN NOT send sms. MMS and 3g Internet is working fine as well as voice call.
Question: How do I set SMSC on Froyo, or is there way to fix this?
My findings after experiments:
1. Everytime I flash, regardless the types of a Rom wheather they are modified or origianl or Froyo or Eclair I can not send sms but able to receive. All the other functions of 3G internet and mms seems to be fine after APN setting.
2. On Eclair and Froyo I have tried type *#*#4636#*#* and went to phone info section, typed the SMSC number (that is 0430004010, I'm in Australia using Three hutchison ) pressed update and refreshed but everytime if i going back to testing page, the Input section is empty -> some reason the SMSC number does not get saved. I tried put +61430004010, then it will tell me "error update" whereas the 0430004010 will not show me any message
3. On Eclair, Message -> setting -> Text Message (SMS) Setting has " Message Server" section. I typed +61430004010 and then all of the Roms able to send SMS. This was the fix for my problem on Eclair.
HOWEVER, on Froyo, some reason this section is not available. As there are only two section available "Delivery reports" and " Manage SIM card messages"
4. I have typed **5005*7672*+61430004010# on phone number pad, code rejected...
I have searched the this forum and other forums too.. No one came up with solution apart from SMSC number. But it seems to me that I can't save the number if I go testing page by typing *#*#4636#*#*. Is there other ways to do this ? or have I done something stupid and missed obvious mistake (as usual ) ???
Any thoughts or comments I would really appreciate
Cheers
I have had the same problem, I tried to put it back to default setting, it works
Or go to drakaz forum, you can find help. Good luck!
Could not send SMS on Froyo
Hi!
I have M110S, just updated to Froyo (SL28), and couldn't send sms. The sms center number is correct (checked via SKT Admin menu), and SOMETIMES I could sent from 1 to 4 messages, but no more. I suppose it's possible right after writing the SMSC number, but not every time. Does anybody have the solution?
Have a root, if needed. It was no problems with Android 2.1 before.
Thanks!
BR, Yan.
I have the same problem. I am on XWJS3. Update error and no possibility to send sms

Code:
OK, I managed to fix this. I'll post the answer because this was buried deep and is a pain.
Answer is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-926771.html
The relevant text is below. One thing I'd say is that the link is a bit vague on how to do the conversion. You need to put your SMSC number in the page, clear the rest of the info and press convert. You then need to ignore the numbers after 11.
For example, my vodafone +447785016005 goes to 0791447758100650110000910000AA00, which shortens to 079144775810065011. Go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and put that in SMSC and hit update. Messages now send!!!. Hopefully I can save someone else the grief I've had all day...
"
to update the SMSC in android,
the number first need to be encoded
please use below url to encode the SMSC
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
for example, if your SMSC is number is +4531300000,
after encode, it is 0691541303000011
put this in the info page, and it will work.

Hey, so I've been having the same problem with my shinny new stock LG G2x that I recieved as an easter present. I realize that its not the same phone as in the thread, and its not rooted, but its still running 2.2.2 Android so I assumed the ideology would be the same, I'm on a foreign exchange in Italy and I've been usin TIM (smsc +393359609600) and I've been having no luck using the converted PDU or just putting in the number using the *#*#4636#*#* or the **5005*7672*[number] methods in my phone settings when I click refresh next to the smsc a PDU number comes up, 002B003300390033003300350039003600300039003600300030, in the text box, so I'm assuming my phone needs a PDU number for the smsc, but what number I still don't know and was hoping you could help.
For me, the much simpler and robust solution using AT commands worked flawlessly.
There is AT+CSCA command which does exactly this: setting SMS service number. Example usage:
Code:
AT+CSCA?
+CMS ERROR: 330
AT+CSCA="+380910440601",145
OK
AT+CSCA?
+CSCA: "+380910440601", 145
OK
This should work on virtually every device, not nesessarily Android one. You just need to connect to its console in modem mode, as usual with all AT commands.
