Guys i am an ex-sx56 user moved off to treo (600 and then 650) and am back to the wizard... I had a phone dialer tool "TAKEPHONE" in the palm world that I used to use and was very handy for phone dialing.
I had a rue setup if there is any number starting with +44 it used to use one calling card and dial the 1800# and with for me to click another button then dial the Pin and the automatically dial the number. That way I never had to change my contacts so that when i am here in the US i use the calling card and when in am there un UK i disable calling card and all the numbers are workable and no updates needed...
I am missing this utility as I travel a lot and dial international a lot… I have looked and have not found any decent tool to do the same.
I looked at the long distance dialer but did not work well with WM5.
I am willing to write some tool if I can get some tapi API in MS.net I have written a utility to make the call now I need to get it to check the state of the line and dial extra digits which I cant figure out
In WM5 I managed to partially solve the problem where I create a new contact with 1800XXXXXXXppYYYY where x is the calling card # and Y is the pin after doing this my calling card service is looking for the actual # it also allows me to fins a number but when I click it it dials another call instead of keying in the digits on the first call….
Not sure if I am expressing this clear but I need help.
I will pay for this kind of app.
I am using long distance dialer , it works ok on my HTC wizard
but I would like to have the one you talking about
Does anyone know of a prog to divert calls?
I do understand that you can set up one divert profile with the operator, but being awkward I would like to set up more than one.
Don't know if there is a utility out there to do this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

You mean as in to forward your calls? Go to Start>>Settings>>Phone>>Services Tab>>Click "Call Forwarding" then "Get Settings" Button and adjust from there.
EDIT: You want to be able to change this easily using "profiles"? A option would be to use a marcro recorder or a script editor and give each macro/script/profile its own icon, so that when you click it it does the above. I used the program MacroRecorder when I had a smarphone, it may work on our OS too, I'm not sure. You could also download MortScripts if you'd prefert to write a script.
Hi thank you for your input.
You have got the idea exactly, got a new car with a "stupid" car kit built in.
The car kit takes a sim card... never heard of bluetooth!!!!!
O2 say they don't (and never have) offered a "dual sim" option. I was hoping to switch the phone off when I got in the car.
So the next idea is to put a pay as you go sim in the car kit and diver all calls from the main number to the car kit.
I already have a divert set up when I cannot take a call, and being lazy I suppose would love a little utility that swaps the divert between the two numbers.
Probably not upto writing scripts or macro as i don't want to mess up my phone
But once again thank you for your help
Not a tool but....you may check out *# codes (aka "GSM codes"), compose the one you need and create a phonebook entry. To run the network service you may put this entry to a speed dial button and activate it manually when you enter the car. Means you run a call to this "number". That's how I forward all calls from my private phone to my company phone: in the morning: call **21*mynumber# and to switch forwarding off in the evening: call #21#. Works pretty good.

Cheers,

Thank you so much
PERFECT
You are welcome...
btw: you will most likely be charged for call forwarding between different providers. At least in Germany they do it.
The coolest thing for you would be T-Mobile-like "Multi-SIM". IMHO the best Multi-SIM implementation ever as you can leave both phones switched on and none of them is kicked out of the network. They just ring both and both present the same number to the far end.
It's a shame that O2 doesn't offer something like this...
Luckily O2 offer unlimited O2 to O2 calls so with luck the divert will be included.
The lady on customer support was quite useless (as per usual) didn't know if it was or wasn't
Can't use T-Mob no reception at home
Going to try and block/bar own number on the pay as you go sim so I can make outgoing calls without confusing people too much.
I blame you Germans - thought Porsche would have a bluetooth PCM - Land Rover have for about 3 years as standard!!! lol
Thank you again for all your help, hopefully a German car will be more reliable than a Land Rover
Porsche? Great! At least it will have better brakes than a Landy
There is also a program "PhoneAlarm" which can be used to divert calls. You can feed 4 or 5 numbers to which you would like your calls to be diverted. From the Today Screen Plug-In of phonealarm you just need to press and hold and you would be presented with a list of numbers to select the one you currently want the calls to be diverted to.

thanks so much. it worked on my diamond. Indian model.
Hi all,
I am sure I am not the first one with this problem, but I could not find any posts via the search.
I recently moved to Japan, and of course took my european Touch Pro (GSM/UMTS).
My company provided me a Softbank USIM card (with a low end standard phone which is good for nothing other than making calls).
Of course I put the USIM into my TP, as I can sync my business contacts to it using active sync (which is obvuiously not possible with the low end phone with came with the USIm card).
Now I am facing the problem, that Softbank in Japan seems not to support "+" infront of country code, so if I dial a number sync with international format (e.g. +49 511 7788855), I end up getting some announcement from Softbank, that my call could not be progressed.
After playing around, I found out I need to dial 010 49 511 7788855 to get through.
Of course I have no interest in manually changing all my synced contacts to this format, especially as it will not work as soon as I leave Japan for a business trip.
The next problem is, that for dialing local Japanese numbers (contry code +81), not even the 010 prefix does the trick. In case of local numbers I really have to dial without any country code like:
080 3456789 works
010 81 80 3456789 does not work
+81 80 3456789 does not work
As you can imagine, this situation is everything else but satisfying.
No wI am looking for any kind of propper solution (which does not include entering three different formats of phone numbers for each of my contacts).
I hoped the would be a small program that can automatically replace "+" by "010" and "+81" by "0".
If I rember correctly, I had a similar option in one of my previous HTC phones, but can not rember, which software was offering it, and can not find any similar option in my current TP ROM.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks and regards,
Check under Start > Settings > Phone > Services and see if you have a Plus Code Dialing option. If so, you should be able to choose Get Settings and change the code accordingly.
010 is only for international dialing, so local numbers should be stored as local numbers without "+".
Thanks, but in settings -> phone -> services I only have:
call barring
caller id
call forwarding
call waiting
voice mail and text messages
Regarding local phone numbers:
The problem is, that I sync my phone with our company exchange address book. The phone number format is stadard with +country code local number, I can not change that.
I mean, in Europe it is no problem to dial a number with the country code of the country you are currently in. The call will still get through.
I can not understand why Japan (or at least Softbank) does not support the same.
SoftBank (or other japanese mobile companies) simply DO NOT support this, for the reasons only they know. Its too bad, i am also from europe, and that + dialing is really benri thing. wherever you go, you dail your contacts exactly the same way, but not in japan.
Its plain STUPID if you ask me.
of course it is stupid, but I doubt the japanese mobile phone provider will change it when I complain to them.
It should be easier to find a work around.
As I said, there was an option or software in one of my previous HTC devices, where I could choose to replace + by 00.
That makes me think the + could also be replaced by 010, no?
The solution is called MagiCall.
Works perfectly.
Dose anyone know if i can configure my DX900 to:
Question 1
Make calls and answer on SIM1 and only answer on SIM2 (lock it from makings calls)?
Question 2
If i have 2 contacts A and B, can i configure so that contacts A always use SIM 1 and contacts B always use SIM 2?
I don't know but i would like to ask you where did you buy it from and how much does it cost. Here in Bulgaria they still don't have it in stores. Probably it's best to e-mail their support if they answer.
I got it from my work, they bought it direct from E-TEN.
Don´t ask me how...

No, you can't configure it that way, sorry.
Thx, I will try that
It dosen´t work
DX900 want some code for the provider and i don´t know what code it is.
It´s not my PIN.
3 part programs who will fix my problem?

Hi,
Thanks for info.
I found a site with some screen shots and I see that you are promted to choose a SIM when you make a call or text. Can you tell me if you disable a SIM from outgoing calls then will it no longer prompt the SIM decision question?
My plan would be to put a data SIM (one out of a USB HSDPA dongle) into SIM1 and use SIM2 for all calls. It is my cunning plan to avoid the fact that mobile data is charged at such an expensive rate. Any comments?
Cheers
Review
How's the performance of E-TEN Glofiish DX900, please. I am planning to buy the unit. Thanks.
Hello, I have the DX900 from 3 weeks, and I am happy, but it still needs a better firmware, because some software issues are here, battery last for only one day or less... but we expect that the new ROM 551 or the very good roms that you make here would solve these issues... I need two sim cards for saving A LOT OF MONEY in my calls (I pay now $50 instead of $300 every month because I have two different plans for morning and afternoon in a single phone), and this the only model that I know with Windows Mobile and Dual SIM dual online (except for some chinese phones like Dubao or IGIC with a worse quality and only WM5...)
i have also question PL Rom exist for that model?
I'd like to buy this device, as far as I know there isn't any dual sim win mobile phone still available. I know there's a dual sim Android phone, Sciphone N21, but it isn't an UMTS phone.
Anyone can write a short review about DX900 and the Sciphone N21?
Thanks in advance
The DX900 has been discontinued.
It is as E-ten but it is sold as Acer DX900.
I read you have one Dx900, what do you think about it?
Acer DX900 vs Sciphone N21
Hi,
I have owned both of these phones in the last 4 weeks and can offer the following information:
N21 -
Pros: Nice looking phone, nice form factor, light, Android is awesome!, Dual sim is really nicely implemented into Android.
Cons - screen is not very responsive, screen is a rubbish resolution and non-standard so some of the Android apps don't scale properly, text input is a nightmare, only 2.5G, Bluetooth only works when wi-fi is on (weird, huh?)
DX900 -
Pros: Ok looking phone, led flash on camera, VGA screen, Windows Mobile, 3G
Cons: A little heavy, Windows Mobile, text input is a nightmare, less slick but ok dual sim integration
What I have ended up doing is sending the N21 back (still waiting for a refund) and loading WM6.5.1 onto the DX900 along with the keypad from the Touch Diamond. This makes it VERY finger friendly and almost a joy to use! I just got this set up this morning so I'll let you know if I have any nightmares (so far, the only bugs on the WM6.5.1 ROM are that the vol keys don't work and can't connect with ASync to my PC, but I'm searching for a fix on these!)
Thank you AMoosa, in the meantime i've bought a Dx900 and it should arrive soon, i hope

Hi Amosa, what WM 6.5 are you installing? I have tested a few ones and the result is very bad. There is not -I couldn't find- large number of people hacking this device.
And about the keypad, can you guide me on where find the Touch Diamond keypad that works with dx900?
Thanks a lot.
Rom DX900
Bonsoir, je recherche une rom 6.5 en Français "la dernière si possible" ?
merci

Hi,
I bought a T-Mobile HTC 8X in the US, unlocked it and brought it back with me to Israel. Now, when Israeli contacts call me, their numbers appear as (for example) 050 555 5555. When they text me, the number shows up as +97250 555 5555. For some reason the phone isn't able to tell that those two are the same number. I couldn't find anything while looking through the settings. I tried playing around with regions and all and came up with nothing. My old AT&T Focus had no issues and my dad's British 8S is working fine as well.
If I remember correctly, In WP7 deivces there's a registry setting which allows to control how many digits from the right identify the number as unique. However, I couldn't find a registry editor for the 8X (is there any?) so that information won't help me right now.
So now, my caller ID function sucks and the only way to actually ID contacts is to save 2 numbers for each one... really frustrating.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Eyal
HTC support emailed back
And after sending them my IMEI they said that unfortunately there's nothing they can do and T-Mobile phones show that symptom in places like Israel and Europe.
So, it's either selling it on ebay or waiting for a registry editor or flashing it with a new ROM somehow. Option #1 seems like the most realistic one at the moment. This really sux.

Actually, if I remember correctly from my previous experience with unlocked phones, most true Caller-ID (where the phone can identify who is calling even if they AREN'T in your Contacts list) requires XML code embedded in the phone (somewhere, don't ask me where) by the provider. Some providers use the same frameworks, so it's possible to get it working from network to network, but in most cases no.
I've never seen a situation tho, where it couldn't pick up the name from the Contacts list, based on the number coming in. I seem to remember you can turn on a feature called "International Dialing Help" that might bring them both together. OR put the entire phone number in your contacts. (As it is displayed when it comes in on Text).

I tried saving the entire number, but because local Israeli numbers get an extra "0" the phone is not able to ID them. Local call comes in as 050-5555555. SMS, like an intl. call, comes in as +97250-5555555. The "International Dialing Help" really helps when you're dialing. I thought it would fix the caller-id issue but it doesn't.
I spoke with HTC and with WP8 support on twitter. It's a known issue for T-mo phones and according to WP8 support, it has been forwarded to the appropriate team which probably means it'll be fixed in months to come. Until then, the only option is to get the phone flashed by one of the Israeli carriers with the Israeli version of the OS.
