Using 2 phone lines on WM5 - General Topics

Hello Guys!
I have two phone numbers which I can use on one SIM.
My provider sends phone calls on line 1 for the fist number, on line 2 for the second number.
On some old (and even new) Nokia-Phones it was possible to see "1" or "2" in the upper right corner on an incoming phone call, and to choose the line for an outgoing call by tap-and-hold "#".
I haven't seen this functionality in WM5 - is there a possibility to tweak that in registry or is there an Phone-Application with this feature?
Thanks for any Idea, Greetings,

That only allows to edit the voicemail number. The problem with this is that whenever I move around into and out from UMTS area (i.e. the signal goes from UMTS to GSM and vice versa) the Voicemail phone number reverts back to '+'. To change it back to my telco actual no, I have to redit the registry key as above.
I've searched the forum looking for the patch as mentioned by Vijay but I could not find the thread/post. Anyone has the pointer how to delete the Voicemail button from the SpeedDial today plugin?
For good measure, change
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\VoiceM ail\Deletable
to 1 as well.
Then immediately go to the Speedial options, Change the Voicemail and select a contact with a Photo, change to a Picture speed dial.
Unless you don't use Picture speeddials.... then this won't help.

This is really simple. Just uncheck Speed Dial in the Today/Items setup. You still get speed dial function even if the speed dial buttons are not visible.
Voicemail & Speeddial #1
Voicemail & Speeddial #1
OK Goodnews/Badnews
I can now edit my speeddial #1.
Through mistake of the former at&t they had to upgrade my account and match the former at&t rate plan and unlimited mediamax at 19.95 on the new at&t side.
I have been running a Treo 750v with WM6 AT&T rom.
So after adding the 3G AT&T SIM card now I am able to edit the #1 voicemail slot. It seems that the New AT&T sim card is playing nice with the AT&T rom.

Somebody knows how to delete VOICEMAIL button on WM6 ?
this used to work with the WM5 but I've tried it with the WM6, it's working. It's not letting me edit it.
So as of now with WM6, there is no way to remove the voicemail button from the speed dial plug in?
Okay one thing I found that seems to work reasonably:
Use regedit:
\HKLM\Software\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\Voicemail\Editable = 1
\HKLM\Software\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\Voicemail\EditableNumberOnly = 1
Then you should be able to edit the number of the voicemail.
Set EditableNumberOnly to 0, and you can edit the name, additional digits, quickkey etc. So between the two settings you can change Voicemail to whatever you want.
Just can't delete it or assign a contact to it.
hmmm...thanks
will try this one out...

Dialing "p" for wait

Hi,
in the old (and current I believe as well) Nokia phone - and most other pure mobile phones for that matter - you can dial a "p", typically by holding down the "*" for a while. The "p" makes the phone wait a little while before continuing to dial the rest of the number.
I need this feature!!!
I am using some prepaid phone cards for which this feature is really necessary.
So, anyone have a clue how to get a similar functionality on WM5? The "p" certainly does not work ...
Thanks in advance - Andy
if you're dialing live, you can dial only the connection number then open the keypad to dial the rest of the keycode manually. If you want to automate it, create a contact with the full number and you can enter in "p" there.
I have a contact for my voicemail which dials the voicemail and waits and the pin + #. this works great with voicecommand cause all I have to do is say "call voicemail" and it'll dial, enter in the password automatically and I don't have to touch the phone at all...
Interesting ... I did migrate all my number from my previous phone, where i had the "p" included in the number. The numbers also seemingly came up correctly on the PPC phone. However, when I tried to dial the number, it would not take the complete number with the "p" - I cannot remember exactly what it did, but it did not dial the whole thing. Thats why I thought/ hoped that there is another way. I guess, after what you are saying, I should give it another try ...
And yes, the application that you are describing is very similar to what I want to use. There is a prepaid international call provider, which has a local dial-in number and lets me call abroad for very little money. I call the local number - the service provider recognizes my account by the incoming phone number of my mobile - and then I dial the destination number. For the recognising part however, it is needed that the phone waits a little before it continues to dial the destination number.
Alright, alright .... works! Thx for the assurance! Tried it again and it just takes a lot longer - the pause is longer - than it used to be on my Nokia. Also, I do not hear the dialing tones after the "p" anymore, which probably put me off before.
Thanks! Thread closed
Try replacing the "p" with a "," . It will pause for a few seconds once the other side picks up the phone.

Any software to make sending DTMF touchtones possible??

Hey guys,
I just started using Treo 750. I love it so far except few things I miss about my old Nokia. Earlier I used to dial a calling card number and then just choose the contact's destination number by selecting "Touch Tone" option from the menu while in call, and it would touch tone that number for me and I was connected. Now, WM5 phone app doesnt seem to be able to do it, and I have to write down the contact's number on a paper first before dialing calling card access number.
Also, I know a comma can be used a 1-second soft pause, but any possible way to add hard pauses in the phone number like traditional cell phones can do... Its cumbersome carrying calling card's PIN code in pocket, and then entering it after dialing calling card number and then punching in destination number from a paper again... its frustrating...
I tried to look up a lot of dialers and apps, but none was a helpful find. Could someone suggest any way out.
anybody???

I am using a product called MagiCall which has the calling card feature as well as calls filtering and SMS filtering.
I think it can help you.

HTC S710 not able to make a phone call

Hi everybody,
I have an HTC S710. Up to today, on top of the screen, next to the G (GPRS) a number 1 appeared. The phone worked perfectly.
Today, for no apparent reason, a number 2 appears, and suddenly, Im not being able to place any phone calls.
I can recieve phone calls and I can send and recieve sms properly. Just to be sure, I tried my SIM on a different phone and I was able to place calls.
Anybody has any idea on how to change this or how to set it back to the normal settings? Help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
Dan
It seems you have changed your outgoing phone line.
This service is called 'ALS' (Alternate line service).
It depends on your SIM card, whether this service is available or not. As you've written yourself the number '2' appears in the display. I cannot tell you, how to switch back to line 1. But this is the error in your case.
Hope it will help anyway.
hi it is because yer opperator offers 2 lines
simply hold in the # key with the slide closed to switch between lines
so if it is on 2 now, hold # for about a second, and you will see line 1 apear again
Solved!!!
Pressing the # key solved it!
Thanks a lot for your help, it was great!!!

Fun with String Dialing… (and requet for VC bluetooth hack)

Here’s a new one; most of use string dialing to access voice mail—for example, on Verizon I have a speed dial that dials (where the “$” represents my pin numbers here for example’s sake):
“*86pp$$$$#” No sweat, it dials in gets the greeting, interrupts the greeting and enters my pin.
BUT my corporate voice mail system requires a ten digit access number followed by an 8 digit pin dialed DURING the first ring before greeting pickup. Meaning if I did the same thing:
“$$$-$$$-$$$$,$$$$$$$$#” it was too late—the ring tone was over.
So—is there a way to dial the second string (the 8digit pin immediately without the device thinking its an international call? If I put in 18 digits it ignores the last 8. If I use a “,” or “p” it’s too late.
Is there a way to customize the duration of a “,” (500 ms) or a “p” (1 second) in the registry or a hack for it?
I’m sure I’m not the only one with this problem.
Additional note: since the original post I switched the phone settings to short tone dialing and that worked… for now—but editing the pause duration would still be cool. Ideas?)
Now—if anyone can get Voice command to work with my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone II) I will buy you lunch!! Hell, Dinner!!
