Problem dialing number from Contacts - General Topics

Hi,
I have a problem dialing numbers stored in Outlook's contacts. Outlook contacts phone numbers are stored as + XX (YY) ZZZZ-ZZZZ (XX=country code, YY=area code, ZZZZ-ZZZZ= phone number) and in Brazil, depending on where you are and where you are calling to, we must use different rules:
- if you are calling to a local number you should dial: ZZZZ-ZZZZ
- if you are calling long distance you should dial: 0 WW (YY) ZZZZ-ZZZZ (WW=phone company code)
- if you are calling international you should dial: 00 WW (YY) ZZZZ-ZZZZ
- if you are abroad you should dial: + XX (YY) ZZZZ-ZZZZ
The dialer program of my PDA dials always the complete number stored in Outlook, with area code, international code and "plus sign" (+).
I'm struggling with this problem for over a year. My former device was a XDA II with Pocket PC Phone Edition 2003 operating system. I bought then a Qtek S200 with WM5, hoping that the new operating system could have solved the problem. Unfortunately it is still there. Apparently the dialer always dials the complete number stored in outlook's contact, with country code and area code. I live in São Paulo (Brazil), and my phone company (Claro) does not accept dialing the complete number +cc (aa) nnnn-nnnn, even for local calls. And for long distance and international calls, there is the need to add the phone company's code, as described above. So, it is impossible to initiate a phone call from Outlook's contacts... Very frustrating!
The sad thing is, that it seems that the functionality is already in the OS (see start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/dialing rules. But apparently it only works for modem connections.
I'm wondering if someone has found a solution to this problem. An external dialer program perhaps?
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Manuel

Manuel, conseguiu resolver esse problema chato do outlook?

looking for a dialer where I can alter Tel.numbers from from Outlook
Is there a solution for the problem descirbed in this thread?
as described, in Brazil one has to alter the Tel.no. from Contact. Once you have to dial 041 +(Tel.no. from Contacts), once the same Tel.no. with 0021 + Contry code and so on.
In none of the threads, hacks in this form I have found a dialer which would allow me to change a Tel.no. selected from Outlook od from the received calls list.
Even if you receive a call in Brazil, you can't call back the no. displayed in the dialer without adding some digits infront of it.
HIT007

Yes, I have found a solution to this problem: I am using a program called MagiCall, which has the hability to change phone numbers sent to the dialer according to rules that can be programmed. Have a look at http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html

How to Configure MagiCall for International Format Dialing Rules
I have just installed MagiCall and I believe this configuration tips should help some people.
This is an example from Brazil but you should be able to adapt these rules to any country.
Facts:
1) Here in Brazil we have the following format: +55 (xx) yyyy-yyyy+55 = country code
xx = area code
yyyy-yyyy = telephone number​2) Most operators here won't accept the international format (you can't dial +55). I believe many network operators worldwide accept the "+", understand it's an international call, and even ignore when the country code or area code are unecessary. Well, our operators DON'T.
3) The dialing rule for local calls (when you are in the same area code) is "yyyy-yyyy"
4) The dialing rule for long distance calls (when you are in another area code) is 0zz xx yyyy-yyyy (zz is the network operator you choose).
5) The dialing rule for international calls is 00zz TELEPHONE (international format without +). Example, if you are calling +1 (501) 1234-1234 you should dial 0021 1 501 1234 1234 (in this example I've used the "21" operator).
Those rules translated into the following MagiCall rules:
1) Name: "Local Calls".Rule Type: "Phone - Outbound"
Filter Type: "Specific number"
Phone #: +5511*
Operation Action1: Change numberCall to: {phone}[-5,0]​Explanation: This rule strips any "+5511" (5 chars) from my dialing numbers.​
2) Name: "Long Distance Calls".Rule Type: "Phone - Outbound"
Filter Type: "Specific number"
Phone #: +55*
Operation Action1: Change numberCall to: 021{phone}[-3,0]​Explanation: This rule strips any "+55" (3 chars) from my dialing numbers and adds a 021 prefix (21 is my long distance network operator). Please note that this rule should be AFTER the 1st one because it should be applied only if it's +55 but NOT in my area code (11 - São Paulo).​
3) Name: "International Calls".Rule Type: "Phone - Outbound"
Filter Type: "Specific number"
Phone #: +*
Operation Action1: Change numberCall to: 0021{phone}[-1,0]​Explanation: This rule strips any "+" (1 chars) from my dialing numbers and adds a 0021 prefix (21 is also my international network operator). Please note that this rule should be AFTER the 1st/2nd ones because it should be applied if the number begins with a "+" but ONLY if it's not in Brazil (+55).​
I also recommend clearing the "Show notifications" setting (in the "others" tab) for each rule, otherwise you will get a notification in EVERY call.
I guess this rules can also be used for setting up calling cards (any tips?).
Hope it helps.
By the way: How hard would it be to make a service simpler than MagiCall just for making these prefix replacements? Could I use PhoneCallCalling event in .NET CF or should I necessarily use TAPI or SNAPI ? Thank you.

Some questions on QTEK 8300 / WM5.0

Hello; I have a Qtek-8300 since a few days ago, but have a lot of experience with PocketPC because of my Ipaq 4150.
I have some questions about the WM5.0 and ActiveSync:
1- Is it possible to establish an order in the preferred connection method to internet? I would like to set: first: ActiveSync; second: Wi-Fi; Third: GPRS. Presently, when I have both GPRS and Wi-Fi, I don't know which one is being used !! Is it a way to discover if I'm using GPRS or Wi-Fi on a given moment?
2- I'm seeing several different icons about GPRS, at different times, but with the phone in stand by (not being used in any way): a) the signal indicator to the right sometimes has a "G"; b) Sometimes in the middle I have a solid triangle (according to the manual means 'roaming'), and sometimes that triangle has also a small "G". Is this correct? Why are the signaling changing?
3- Is it possible to sync the "notes" items of Outlook?
Also, is it possible to sync files under "My Documents"?
4- In ActiveSync I can't access to the option "Program" (it is grayed out); I think that is the way to set if I want to sync continually or manually (like when I sync my PocketPC). Or a SmartPhone is allways synced??
5- I don't fuly understand why incoming calls are not found on my contacts database, since it is fully loaded; perhaps it is because of a local numbering issue. Is it possible to set the number of digits (right-to-left) that WM will use to report the name of the incoming caller? I think that if I set this number to about 6 digits, my contacts will be found.
Thank you very much for your help!

Maybe the triangle (i haven't seen it yet) is a roaming between local operators (ie if your operators gprs signal isn't high enough or has no coverage, they allow you to use another operators gprs with(or without) extra charge). The big G means availability of gprs (or big E availability of edge) and little g (or e) on the right means you are using it ..
,3- Is it possible to sync the "notes" items of Outlook?

Yes - look for "smartphone notes 2.0" at smartphone.net
Also, is it possible to sync files under "My Documents"?
4- In ActiveSync I can't access to the option "Program" (it is grayed out); I think that is the way to set if I want to sync continually or manually (like when I sync my PocketPC). Or a SmartPhone is allways synced??

have you set the phone numbers in ur database (outlook) in the form of:
+44-xxx-xxxxxx ? In outlook you should use the country code (it adds automatically the +44 or whatever). I have over a 1000 numbers set as country code, area code, number, and they are all recognised just fine.
Try with a couple of numbers - if it works, then I gues u got some work to do .... :lol:
Hope I helped
Thank you very much for your help, muppet_65.
I'm now trying SmartphoneNotes; installed fine, and sync ok with my Outlook. Very nice solution.
Respect to the problem finding the numbers in the contacts database: yes, the probem is that there is something weird in Argentina's numbering system: when you dial a cell number, it is (xxx) 15+6digitNumber. But when you receive a call from it, the CallerID is (xxx)+6digitNumber, without the "15".
The only solution I see is to configure (registry?) the number of digits WM uses to report the name of the caller. If I can set it to 6 digits, it would work fine (in most of the cases, at least).
Thank you again.
Anyone with some help on the GPRS/WIFI issue? How can I set the preferred internet access? I don't want to use GPRS if WiFi is available...

X7510 will not read information off SIM card

Telecom New Zealand has recently launced its "new" mobile network - WCDMA on 850MHz (it was a the rather antiquanted CDMA system prior!). Their range of "new" phones was nothing spectacular really and nothing much else worldwide appealed to me more than the X7510, so I duely purchased one from the UK.
When the SIM card was installed the unit come up with the following message:-
The Operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your Operator for the connections settings.
[Intrestingly enough, Vodafone NZ is in the database, even although the X7510 is not sold in NZ - but I digress!]
However the phone function and SMS appear to be working well, apart from the fact that it refuses to acknowledge the NZ Telecom Voicemail number. I get a good solid H in the Quick Menu Bar.
The data connection refuses to work at all though.
I have contacted "the Operator", but they are not all that interested in helping me as the X7510 is not a phone we support and while they've helped a little bit, the several HelpDesk Operators I've tried, all seem to end up with the same conclusion that everything the phone needs to know about the network and connection is on the SIM card.
When I open the SIM Manager, I can "see" some of the data there. (e.g. such as the Voicemail Number, but Voicemail on the phone Speed Dial is blank - no number stored). And when I try and connect to the Internet (using the number that Telecom provided verbally) it keeps asking for more Connections Settings, which I am told, there aren't any more to enter - it's all on the SIM!
It appears to me that the phone is trying to "capture" the Operator's Settings via radio rather than obtain it from the SIM!
Is there a way I can override the radio search function and get the PDA to "look" at the SIM card? Or maybe try any other method to obtain a data connection.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Greg

I'm not too up on this, but I think your X7510 is NOT compatible with the TNZ system. Telstra use a very unusual hybrid of 850/2100 connections where most operators use 850/1900 or 2100 only. One is for upstream and the other for downstream where there are 2 figures.
Although it does support both 850 and 2100Mhz, they are on different frequency bands, so you could have the 850/1900 working OK, but not 850/2100.
What it means in practice is that whichever band you select, you will only get upstream or downstream UMTS connections, not both together. This may be why you see the 'H' but can't connect. In practice, you may only be able to use this phone on the slow GSM network.
Some of the other stuff is setup based, and some info you have been given is simply wrong!
To get the SMS and Voicemail number set, start the phone dialler, and go to Menu/Options/Services then scroll to the bottom setting in the window (VM and SMS) and tap it to highlight, then Get Settings. You may need to manually enter the VM access number you normally dial. Do 'Save to Network' and they should be OK.
For data access, you do not enter any phone numbers- you need to configure the setting as 'Cellular Modem GSM/3G' then enter the Access Point (APN) and any password and username.
It seems Telstra are cagey about publishing the connection parameters but I found this one:
GPRS APN: - telstra.internet
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 139.130.4.4, 203.50.170.2
As I suspect though, you may only be able to get GSM, not 3G/UMTS

Neil,
You are a Gem! Okay, the first part didn't work, but I can enter the Voicemail as Speed Dial #2 or use the Voice Dial on the Parrot BT; so no real biggy that the X7510 simply will not accept the Telecom Voicemail number.
But I did hit paydirt with your data access suggestion and that was the one that was really important for e-mails and Internet access (as there aren't too many Wi-Fi Hot Spots in sparsely populated New Zealand!!)
Thanks so much for your prompt and excellent response.
Regards,
Greg
You're welcome!
Presumably you are only getting GSM speeds for your email and web access? Or do Tesltra do something different with their band splits to allow full 3G access?
It may be interesting to go to DSL Reports when you have a good signal and see what speed you are getting. You might have to repeat the test with a larger file than the default, but you'll get the correct prompts.
GSM will give you from 25 to about 100kbps (GPRS or Edge), 3G will give up to 300kbps and HSDPA can give up to 2Mbps
I don't know if you can do anything about the incorrect speed dial 1, but at least you have a workaround. Are you sure you manually entered the Voicemail number in the VM box in Options/Services/SMS and Voicemail> Get Settings ? I've just tried this with my X7510 and after editing the VM number, then hitting 'OK' it commits the change to Speed Dial 1 correctly.
[Edit. I can alter my Speed Dial 1 number by opening the Dialler then tapping 'Speed Dial', highlighting SD1 then Menu/Edit which opens the settings screen. Scroll to the bottom of the list to select Voicemail and Text Messages then Get Settings. Manually enter your voicemail access number then tap 'OK' which send the settings to the network and commits the change to SpeedDial 1. If that doesn't work, it may suggest Telstra are blocking the ability to change. ]
Once again, thanks for the prompt reply.
On that speedtest link you gave me I got: - 483, 489 & 319 kbps. This is off the local tower which is a good 20 kms from the city. I'll try in the CBD tomorrow and see what I get.
I had aready tried your suggested methods for locking in the Voicemail number, but to no avail. On my X7510 it's called Voicemail and Text Messages and when you highlight and then Get Settings, it always shows a number for the Text Message Service, but a BIG blank for the Voice Mail!!
Intersting comment you made about the Service Provider possibly blocking the ability to change?? If they are, lil' old me ain't going to get them to change that!
b.t.w. it's Telecom, not Telstra (who although here in NZ, are not a big mobile player like they are in Ausssie). I would guess that in NZ, Telecom has about 45% market share and Vodafone likewise.
I'll be in touch on best speed as at this stage, I appear to be somewhere between 3G and HSDPA?
Cheers,
Greg
ok- your figures are showing a pretty good connection speed so you are definitely in the HSDPA zone!
With regard to the blank box for the VM number: have you actually tried typing your VM number into the box then hitting ok?
Neil,
Yes I have tried typing in the Voicemail number directly under Phone Settings. When I hit OK, it says "Sending new settings to Network" and then comes back with "Cannot Save your changes"
On the speed - I have just picked up the "new" USB data card (for use on the same HSPDA Network) for my laptop and given that a try - wow! Download 6,485 kbs - Upload 1,445 - that's 1.5 x times the speed of my Office copper-wire broadband system. Telecom did promise some pretty impressive speeds and they are delivering (by NZ standards anyway).
I actually think your first summation of the this NZ Network being on 850/2100 (and not compatible with setup on X7510) might be correct Neil as about 545 kbs is the best I can achieve on the X7510. Hey, I can live with that, the other features of the X7510 make up for that and the laptop is never far away if I want to get some real speed!!!
Cheers,
Greg

Wrong country code Verizon

This problem probably has an easy solution but I just cant figure it out.
So im Swedish and I ordered a tp2 Verizon and unlocked it with unlock program.
Got everything to work, gsm and umts.
But when I dial numbers ex: 070 65 11 65 (swedish cellphone number)
I see on the screen it adds (1) 070 65 11 65 wich I guess is the
american or english country code.
Now if I type in +46 (Swedish country code)
in front of the cell number and and subtract the 0
+46 70 65 11 65
Everything works.
But for convenience I don't want to have type in my country code for every
cell number.
How do I fix this?
Ive been in region settings on the phone and changed to Swedish.
Someone please help
settings. personal. phone. then i think gsm services
Thanks but it didn't work.
It seems logical the settings to change that would be there though.
I played around with settings on location setting in there. Didn't change anything.
The settings i have on gsm settins are the following:
Call barring
Caller ID
Voice mail and text messages
Pin/pin2
Location setting
tty mode
Time synchronizaion
Am I missing any settings?
I also tried rebooting in cdma mode without gsm sim card and changing
country to Sweden in the cdma settings. Then rebooting again with sim card in gsm
mode.
I didnt try this before but i can call local land line number no problems
but if i try a swedish cellphone number without country code it still
wants to add (1) in front of it.
So annoying.
Any ideas?
hklm-->software-->OEM-->phonesetting and then choose autoprepend_1 and change the "Data" value from 1 to 0.
Ok so im guessing that hklm means changing some registry setting.
I haven't done that before.
Can you recomend a good app for this?
Besides this do you think that this problem might be tied to
using a verizon stock rom and that verizon is an american operator?
If i change to an international rom later do you think I would have this problem?
I know of no international cdma roms. use phm regedit or even easier use CEregreditor from computer with phone connected by activesync.
I used resco explorer 2010,
I didnt have autopretend setting on Phonesetting.
I had something called assisted dialing, wich is something that comes up
whenever i dial a number it says above the number dialing (assisted dialing)
That setting seems to be on (1)
And I have audioredial no value set,
The rest is
Bandtype
Callbarring
CalledId
CallforwardingGsm
CallWaiting
CurrentCountrySetting (no value set)
DNDMode
EmergencyCallAlert
FDN
LocationSetting
NBCDSetting
NetworkService
NetworkType
OutOfCoverageAlert
PIN
RoamingAlert
SwicthNAM
TimeSync
TtyMode
VMailTextMSG
VoiceMail

After a closer I look I found
ShowAutoPrependPage under phonesetting
I changed that value from 0 to 1 but nothing happend.
damn..
Rhodium 500,
thanks for your help and pointing me in the right direction.
Really appreciate it.
I disabled "Assisted Calling" in registry settings and that solved my problems
it was to easy
1-click the call button to see the dial keypad
2- click menu
3- choose global smart dialing
4- disable global smart dialing
5- press ok
abvmoose and others,
How do I turn on Assisted Dialing? I have no entries under HKLM-->SOFTWARE-->OEM-->PhoneSetting--> AssistedDialing?
Please let me know the entries in this folder so I can turn assisted dialing on.
Thanks!

GSM Data & Phone Settings - Overseas

I am visiting Australia for 3 months this summer and was hoping to use my TP2 with a Virgin Mobile Australia SIM card for voice and data. From searching the forum it looks as if I am going to need some setting for data access, and possible to disable CMGuardian.
When I have used my UK Orange or Italian TIM SIM in my Motorola Razr under Tools I see some SIM specific menu items for checking credit, recharging etc. Will I see the same things in the TP2 once it make a connection?
I would appreciate any suggestions for anybody who has used a GSM SIM for data access.
Thanks
No you need to contact the provider and find out the settings for data
GSM Overseas settings
Now in Australia, I have had to adjust several settings and I want to pass on what I learned. After inserting the Virgin Mobile SIM, don't forget to switch to GSM only. There are some CDMA services in Australia and you don't want to roam onto them or you will be paying the Sprint Roaming rates. The Virgin SIM did not show up as an icon under settings and tools the way that other SIM cards have.
I found my phone worked as a phone, GPS worked and it would go on the internet thru Opera. However, at first it would not access my email and required me to dial local calls in Australia as if they were long distance.
I found I needed to change the Global Smart Dialing settings which can be found under Phone, Menu, Global Smart Dialing (need to scroll down to see this option on the Menu). Change the "dialing from" to the correct number required before country code. So for Australia, where you dial 00 before the country code when dialing out internationally, selecting Australia will change the 011 (used when dialing from the USA) to 00.
Next I needed to change the dialing rules. Go to Start, Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced Tab, Dialing Rules. I ticked the box for "use dialing rules", and edited the rules for Mobile, Work and Home to use the Australia country code of 61 and blanked the area code. I think I could have got the same result by editing the dialing pattern for local calls to remove the E and the F so that local calls did not have the country code or area code prefixed to them.
To fix the Email issue, I had to go to my email accounts by going to the Inbox, Menu, Tools, Options and tapping on each email setup in turn. Once in an email setup, select "Edit Account Settings" and tap Next 4 times to get to Advanced Server Settings. Here there is a drop down list of Network connections. I had to change mine from "The Internet" to VirginGPRS.
NOTE: Have not had a chance to try this, but probably the easier way to fix the email issue is to go to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced tab and under Programs that automatically......should connect using "VirginGPRS" or whatever service you are using.
At this point I have phone calls, local SMS, internet and email working. I still have a problem with international SMS.
I am sure somebody understands this better than me and perhaps their is a more elegant way of doing this, but at least it worked.

[HOW TO] Fix SMS Sending Issue

I was having an issue on sending SMS messages, but I have fixed it. Here is how:
SMSC Number Update for CyanogenMod
SMS (Short Message Service) is specified by the ETSI (standards GSM 03.401 and 03.382 ). It can contain up to 160 characters, where each character is written according to the 7-bits GSM default alphabet.
SMS also contains some meta-data, e.g.
Info about the senders ( Service center number, sender number)
Protocol information (Protocol identifier, Data coding scheme)
Timestamp
There are 2 ways to receive and send SMS messages, PDU (protocol discription unit) and Text mode. In this page we focus on PDU mode, which is what Android 2.3 and higher recognize. The SMS messages travel through the SMSC gateway to send and receive. A common symptom of a badly configured SMSC is your device is able to receive SMS' but not send (usually reporting as sent, but without reception on the receiving end).
First, you will need your carrier's SMSC gateway number. Below are the numbers for major US carriers, (Google for your carrier's number if not covered here):
Sprint: +17044100000
Verizon: +316540951000
AT&T: +13123149810
T-Mobile: +12063130004
Rogers Wireless (Canada): +17057969300
Notice the numbers include the +, this matters for the next steps
Converting to PDU format
Take your number, including the + and go to http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
Towards the bottom of the page, there is a spot to enter SMSC, Receiver and Message
Enter your full SMSC number (including the +)
Leave Receiver and message box blank
Select Alphabet 7
Hit Convert
You will get an output in the box on the right side
Take the first 16 digits from the second line (examples for above carriers listed)
Sprint: +17044100000 = 07917140140000F0
Verizon: +316540951000 = 0791135604590100
AT&T: +13123149810 = 07913121139418f0
T-Mobile: +12063130004 = 07912160130300f4
Rogers Wireless (Canada): +17057969300 = 07917150979603f0
Your SMSC number is now in PDU format, now to update your phone:
Open Dialer
Type the following sequence '*#*#4636#*#*'
Open Phone Information
Scroll down to SMSC
Optional: Hit Refresh to see current SMSC number used
Enter in your PDU formatted SMSC number
Press Update
Once entered, it can take up to 10 minutes for the phone to 'handshake' with the new gateway. A reboot is also suggested to power cycle the radio, {this step is unnecessary if you follow steps 9 through 12).
Turn off radio
Turn on radio
Hit Refresh to see current SMSC number used
Send a test SMS
Assuming everything worked, you should now be able to send and receive SMS' properly.
Note: MMS is controlled by the APN in Android. If MMS is failing, double check your APN information

Hi
I'm in Holland and I have the Galaxy Note running CM10
Should I change something on that encode procedure?
Like alphabet code or something?
Thanks
Canadian SMSC codes
For those needing Canadian SMSC codes...found out what the Fido, Bell and Telus call forwarding numbers were, and converted them (not tested).
Fido: +15149931123 = 07915141991321F3
Bell: +16473832355 = 07916174832353F5
Telus/Nextel: +15148210053 = 07915141280150F3
Wind: +16135009000 = 07916131059000F0 (taken from here)
Vidéotron: +15144240053 = 07915141240450F3
Also, since I'm with Mobilicity, their SMSC code (according to tech support) for Android 4.x is 0791617480001f6 (tested and works).

"+19703769830",145

that works perfectly for me. Again, this is for AIO Wireless.
Oddly enough i hit refresh on my infuse 4g running beanstalk 4.4 and it said 0180.
Thank you!!!! Ive been searching for this SMSC number all day and now realizing why it took so long was because I was searching Cricket Wireless instead of AIO who recently took over Cricket. Anywho, Thanks again.

Will you please add that to the initial post #1 @k-semler
If you came here searching for cricket, AIO wireless SMSC works for Cricket as mentioned by a few posters above. Just highlighting this
Issue updating pdu
I have followed the steps I am with Fido on Nexus 4 phone. When I put PDF number I get update error any suggestions does the pdu have to be in wuatation marks? I tested both, both update error.
Currently, when I refresh I have this format "+15149931123",145
Any help appreciated, I can't send sms for a week now, and tec not good, I can send mms no problem, everything else works sms receiving, data, internet, phone dialing.
Additionally, I noticed when I put *5005*7602* it says USSD running but it does not show me Fido gateway. When I tried to update through phone keypad the gateway by doing **5005*7602*15149931123# again says USSD running but than when I check hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* the smcs is not updated same format with ,145 at the end. I am having issue described here, any smart people out there to help me figure it out?
HELP there isn't a message center number option in the message app. And dialing *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer dont do anything, even pressing call the ussd code give error or connection problem as all other ussd codes do. Was on the phone with my service provider for over 2 hours they did all the can. The asked me to change the center number. Which I already thought of that. Factory reset wireless reset the whole shabang... nothing worked. Is there another method ? Using galaxy note 8 n950u updated to latest firmware no root sadly, tmobile variant, unlocked.
Unfortunately it doesnt seem to work with Sprint...
