I have all my contacts showing their country code with the plus sign for their country code such as +44, +61, etc
When I am in Thailand and I want to call someone in Australia - I need to go look up his number in the contacts and the copy&paste (or memorize) into the dialer with the proper international dialing prefix 001, 009 or 007
It is a pain the arse, would there be a way where I could tell my phone to just parse the plus sign "+" as 001, 011 or 007? Thing is when I'm in Thailand the prefix is most of the time 009 but it is not the same when I am in Canada or Australia... so I can't put it in my contact card. (or perhaps I could make several entry for them for each prefix).
Is there an automated solution or any tips someone would like to share?
Hmm, the + is simply a shortcode for 00, which is the international calling prefix, so my number in the UK starts with 07966... and the international format is +447966...
I can call + numbers in my phone from, and to Germany, Ireland, France, and Spain with no problems.
Is Thailand not using the standard 00+Country Code+STD (minus leading 0)+Local Number format then?
when I am in Thailand (using DTAC), they use the + format just fine. When I want to call my friends in the USA I call +1-808-xxx-xxxx, and when I call people in Thailand I use +66x-xxx-xxxx.
The + works in Thailand (parsed as 001 not 00), but CAT (Communication Authorithy of Thailand) offers other prefix such as 009 that routes the call through VOIP which is significantly cheaper.
00 doesn't work in Thailand. It is 001. But the carrier interprets the + as 001
For example, if I want to call the US this will not work 00 1 206-555-1212. I need to be doing 001 1 206-555-1212 or alternatively +1 206 555-1212.
I just wish there would be a dialer that would allow me to tell him to change the + to whichever prefix depending on which Country I am at the time.
Ok so we got to the bottom of it. + is in fact the same as 00 but in Thailand thats normal calls, and you want voip routed calls.
Its added functionality on their network I'm afraid, the GSM standard will only use + as 00, and they interpret that as 001 for calls routed over the traditional network.
I think the only way to do it and keep your sanity would be to create a new number for each contact you would want to call using the 009 prefix, specifically to call from Thailand, and leave all the others with the +.
+ = International Exit Code.
This mean that in many places "00" is not the exit for international calls.
In US it is "011", Thailand "001", Russia "09" ect. It is shortcut and you do not have to memorize all codes. Of course + is normal exit not voip, to use voip you have to know local specific, in this case 009
Clear?

THis is correct. Different network operators - both fixed and mobile - will have different access codes for international and national access.
Using + will usually take you through to your default phone operator's most expensive IDD plan (and hence other companies have other prefixes which can also be used for IDD calls).
The O2 dial wizard (search for it on the forum, or download it from the http://www.seeo2.com/ site) has a feature which allows replacing the international prefix + with a dial code of your choice. It is possible to set up multiple codes (for different networks, calling cards etc.) through its configuration options. Once installed, from within the phone application, choose Tools -> O2 Dial Wizard. When a number is dialled, or retrieved from the phone list using the search utility that comes with the progam, or, when a number is manually entered, click the little icon of a phone handset with a magic wand. This will replace the + with the predefined prefix of your choice.

Sorry for bringing up this 2 year old topic, but since it wasn't answered I like to check if there is any news.
My provider fixes + to 001 - but I like to change + to 1686 (or whatever). How can I do that?
Hi! Let me introduce a tiny app, available in English in the moment.
This program shows a small info window during incoming/outgoing call. It contents country, region, city (or mobile operator) and LOCAL TIME in that place (worldwide)!
See latest comments and screenshots on cyrket (I'm not allowed to insert links)
Detailed popup customization is supported
The phone base I collected and created (many errors there were fixed by hands) was only available in Russian, but today I released English base, made with help of Google Translate
I know, such translation is buggy (but still much better I expected). I hope you'll help me and other users to have a complete and accurate information about calls - just email me right from the program menu about any issues or comment here.
World time also changes (for example, Russia lost two time zones this March) and if you find any error - post here or email me
You don't need to download phone base. You may download its latest version from the app, but if you want to do it manually, unpack the zip to the sdcard's root
How accurate does it get? I don't get many international calls, but might be useful to know where a landline call from within the UK is coming from?
What happens with mobile calls from with the UK? I assume no detail at all then?
it covers both landline and mobile network all over the world, where it is possible to distinguish between numbers by area codes. just try =) there are more than 25000 records in the base

Hi. How do you set this up?
I have placed my Country Code (00351) and set GMT to +1 and when I call from my desk to my phone, it says it's a call from India ...
afaik, country code cant starts with zeros. Please, provide full number (you may hide last four digits) and right country for you I'll check and write settings here
Erm, I think techinally it either starts with two zeros, or a + but you're asking for a single number?
For example, UK is either 0044 or +44
wow. That is new for me. I know that with one leading zero start local calls. And you say two zeros replace + . hmmm. try left country code blank, that may help, I think. and if not, please, type whole number without four last digits
Not sure if this is already obvious but as there seems some uncertainty. AIUI the correct way to state an international number is to prefix it with +. To make a call, the plus sign is replaced with the two (or sometimes three or four) digit international access code which depends on the country one is placing the call from. For Europe this is 00, for the States, 011 etc.
I'm in Portugal, and my number is +35193233xxxx. I have tried leaving it blank, but by default leaves a 7... tried with 00351, with 351 and when calls are incoming still stays it's from India.
I'll wait for further clarification and if nothing happens I'll un-install it.
By the way, it doesn't let me use the +.
Thanks
okay, and what was the incoming number? what it was looking like on the call screen? country code preset replaces leading zero or eight digit. so it doesn't interfere number detection in you case I think

The incoming number was looking like this: 91811xxx
It's a mobile number from Vodafone.
Just got a call from Germany, and it identified the Country and city allright. Seems that it doesn't work for calls inside Portugal only...
i see eight digits and no country info in this number. if there are seven digits program says local call and do not provide any information (because there is no trusted information) in eight or more digits it tries to detect country code. it replaces leading 8 or 0 with country code from the settings - for example local russian mobile calls may look like 8916xxxyyzz - we replace 8 with country code 7 and identify it with MTS - the program even say region or city based on x or xx or xxx in the example above. but in your situation I have no idea how to detect that the call is local and country code needs to be put before the number =( I've never heard that income mobile number may be in the format you wrote - it should start with plus sign and country code or 8 or zero (Ukraine, Moldova). I'm whirled

Any chance you can convert the database into something human-readable? I'll be glad to cross reference a bunch of Southern California area codes and prefixes so that you can get some more accurate data there.
Also, a program similar to yours got hit with a cease & desist a few months back by some patent trolls because they supposedly hold a patent on this very thing. You're in Russia though so I dunno if their reach extends to you. Just thought I'd give you an FYI.

please, email me a t r a n t . s g @ g m a i l . c o m (or from the program menu) to discuss db elements, thanks in advance.
and yeah... i've read that stuff and even contacted the author...
But, my program is better now, I think =) And I will hit 10000 downloads, I hope. That will be enough, I think, for my efforts and hand-made db =))
Uninstallation
How do i uninstall de database, can't find it but i takes 3 mb of internal memory. Anyone has a suggestion!!

Just remove the DB app. There is no way to leave DB app and remove the DB, android OS restriction (can't modify signed apk on the device)
uninstallation
So when i uninstall WorldCallPlaceAndTime.apk than de database will be removed from my internal memeory?

Hi,
I'm proud owner of a Huawei Honor 2 U9208, on which I've installed MIUI in French. (but the problem is the same with the Huawei stock rom)
I've noticed that the only emergency codes allowed are 112 and 911.
112 is an acceptable emergencey code in France, eventhough it is not the most used. So I'd like to add some more common numbers, such as 15 (medical emergencies), 17 (police) and 18 (fire brigade).
I couldn't find answer elsewhere, so I call to your knwoledge.
I've looked into build.prop, where I found this line:
Code:
ro.ril.ecclist=112,911,#911,*911
I thought "great, that would be easy!". Well it's not. Whatever I change in this build.prop, emergency numbers are still 112 and 911. I've tried:
Code:
ro.ril.ecclist=15,17,18
Code:
ro.ril.oem.ecclist=15,17,18
Code:
ro.ril.oem.nosim.ecclist=15,17,18
There is also a section in build.prop:
Code:
# for custom-make emergency numbers, the format is ECC category + ECM number
ro.config.hw_ecclist_withcard=1+110,6+119,8+118
ro.config.hw_ecclist_nocard=1+110,6+119,8+118
which might be of interest, but I cannot understand how to modify it...
I forgot to mention that i'm using a French SIM card, in which emergency call codes *should* be integrated in the EF_ECC section. (I couldn't check with another phone to be sure)
So, here are my questions:
- what is the meaning of the 'custom-make emergency numbers' sections and how to modify it?
- where can I change the ecclist if not in this build.prop
- why modifications made in build.prop don't seem to be working?
Thanks for reading, and even more if you can help me.
I have just started using an old O2 xda, which is identical to a HTC Wallaby. I can connect to the Optus (Australia) network ok (via an Amaysim sim card)
When I attempt to download web pages I have problems.
Google.com.au gives me a message in a MME dialog box: -
Download “google.com.au” to my documents folder in main memory?
An – “Open file after download” net to a small box which cannot be checked, it appears disabled.
Then there are the options YES CHANGE & CANCEL
Selecting YES or CHANGE produces another MME dialog box with the message: -
The system cannot find the path specified.
Then the page does not download.
With other pages such as online banking the page downloads but all the buttons and other links on the page do not function when trying to access them with the stylus.
I am a noob and checked the welcoming video and have been looking all over but I can’t get a handle on what is going on.
Please let me know if you have any ideas
The specifications are
Microsoft Pocket PC ver 3.0.12039 (Build 11178) – Processor ARM SA1110
Microsoft Mobile Explorer 4
T.I.A.
The target of the software is to gather some network info remotely avoiding any notification to the target mobile user and not installing any software in the target mobile.
Let me explain the idea in detail. First of all, we know that if we press *#06# then we can see the IMEI number of the set. So, there might be some secret way or code so that anybody can get the IMEI number of any mobile set with the help of just target mobile number.
That was just an example. However, there are some system of ping to check the reachability in IP network. In GSM network also there should be some secret code by which ping, trace route targeting a mobile number is possible. By these, the availability of the target can be confirmed. By the trace route result, we can obtain the path Of the pong reply or ping, present cell id. The individual cell ID also carries the name of the area in Unicode which is displayed in many sets optionally. That text may also be obtained from that. Actually, we want to do this by developing and installing an android software. In that car, we need to know the coding, programming language and special DLL or header that has to be called for this purpose.
2. Is there any way to call or search IMEI in any mobile network? Is it possible to find out the mobile number by inquiring with IMEI number from any mobile?
3. There is a way to configure a GSM modem with a cloned SIM may be so that the target mobile's all traffics including voice and SMS, may be data also. By default, all SIM's destination priority setting is 0. In the case, the modem has the higher priority so that at first the traffics reach there, modem software captures and records the traffic and then throws again to the target device. It's clear that here, the modem acts in transparent mode so that the target do not feel anything as well as it does not catch eyes of operators. We want to do this.
As here, I'm throwing the complete requirement along with technical description. Please let me know any further requirement.
