Hey there...
today i had the idea to improve my adress book.. but dunno how...
since i got a tmobile germany and landline flatrate..i want to know if the number i'm contacting is for free or need to pay..
there is a possibility to call an number and enter the number you want 2 check and get the network.. but this kind of sucks big times... is there some kind of webservice or programm which can support my intension? and for example add a network prefix to the adressbooks name?
thx in advance
try this.

This is actually not what i am looking for... see for example there is my sisters contact in the adress book ... but how do i know if the number i am calling is for free because of my tmobile flatrate? nowadays you can take your number with you when changing the provider.. some years ago you where at least able to get the provider by the prefix of the mobile number..
now i want something what can tell me the provider to the number

It also doesn't actually work. It goes back to some outdated database before Local Number Portability worked. I put in my cell number, which used to be my landline number, and lo and behold, it still thinks it's owned by a local PacBell CO.
Well then in reality there truly is no way to know with 100% accuracy which provider someone is with. This at least provides some level of accuracy whether outdated or not. For instance, mine shows up as correct. Should I port my number tomorrow, it would be incorrect though. Don't think there is any other way available for regular consumer based searches.
but for example i can send a message with the number to some special tmobile number and it charges me with 19cent and sends the provider back.. infos in german

i can also call a number for free and type in the phone number and it tells me the provider.. but this kind of sucks for all my addressbook entries

Yeah, but the only way to achieve what you're looking for is a direct and almost permanent connection to the database hosted by T-Mobile (
Zentrale Master Routing Datenbank (zMRDB)) in which the number and the provider to which it belongs is stored.
And since the access to this database is not free (not to say pretty expensive) you won't find any solution to this.
CU,
Cactus World
but it says i can use wap for it.. so somehow there must be an service to use, which provides the necessary infomation
MNP / zMRDB / provider finder

Hi adrian,
have you tried this: http://www.mobilfunknetz-finder.de
Would be nice to have something like ProviderFinder (works on iPhone only) for WM or Android.

I could suggest any software, if you could briefly describe what is tue utility of "IDD prefixes" ...
There are many International call service providers in Hong Kong while their call rates are different. Normally, u just add "+" plus the country and city code behind the phone number in your contact for international calls. However, i may add "009" or "1666" or "1718" instead of the "+" sign. i find that cannot work in smartphone coz recently the Phoneplus for PPC phone can make that function.
e.g.
Normal case: + 86 10 8222 8234
i want: 009 86 10 8222 8234 or sometimes 1718 86 10 8222 8234
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Me also tried to search this kind of software for a long time, but nothing of them seems to work on WM6 at the moment, can anyone please help?
I am using Mobiion MagiCall - very powerful and useful
Hello, I am have upgraded my imate SP5m device to WM6.
I have also upgrade the radio to WM6GSMUPDATE.zip.
My country is Costa Rica (code +506).
I think there is a bug in the GSM radio or WM6.
All my contacts have the +506 prefix in their number, when somebody with number +506XXXXXXX call me the phone detects the phone number as XXXXXXX and then the contact information cannot be found.
Is there something that I can tweak to fix this?
I didn't have this problem on WM5.
Regards,
Oscar
Try to see your regional settings
Another one from CR
Ocalvo, I'm in Costa Rica too, I sell and distribute HTC in CR. I have several customers that have the exact same problem, some of them have the +506 so when they are out of the country they can use international roaming or a sim from another carrier. People in other countries are also suffering from this, but if they never travel internationally, probably they won't even notice.
I haven't been able to fix the problem for months, been posting on every forum I can find, still no results.
Here is what I can contribute, the problem never happens on WM5, but it is not always present on WM6. We have a couple of models that have WM6 and dont have this problem, like the P3600 and the S630.
Our best selling phone has this problem and we haven't been able to solve it. All SMS come with the +506 attached to the beginning so it does not ID any messages, same happens with calls.
I have even flashed a P4350 that worked fine with WM5 and does not work with WM6, but I have an HTC S630 with WM6 that works perfectly. Barajeme eso!!!!
Well, I will continue to research this problem...
Regards,
Beeche
SOLVED
Ocalvo,
Modify the registry like this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch and
hklm\security\phone\PBLookupMinPhoneNumberLength
change the value from 8 to 7 for Costa Rica
See, we have seven numbers to match before the International dailing code.
That will solve the problem, if you have any questions call me at the # that you have in your PM.

Beeche
Thanks Beeche

Wow this is awesome - I've always wanted something like this!
Does it just use the web lookup (whitepages for the US), or does it somehow access the same information that a hardware landline caller ID uses?

Its actually been out a while but i have only spread the word to the diamond application thread before...
Anyway, to answere your question, it uses web lookup... the site that is used for US is whitepages.com
Hope you like it
Awesome! I love you!
how fast does it work?? For some reason my ppc's have always been slow when calls come in, ie the phone lighting up way before the ring even comes through, an anoying delay.
Very good idea
Thanks you very much

Hi! Im sorry for my confusing descriptioin! When i say i need a service provider i mean a reverse phone service provider, not a mobile phone service provider. That is, i need something similar to the whitepages!

Thats the beauty of it... There is no need for change of application... It is dynamic
Just go to settings page and there you will find your countrycode and provider
First of all, thanks for a most wonderful idea and application.

Hi,
Im trying to find a way of withholding my number to people. I know I can set this in settings, the thing is you can only withhold to everybody. I would like to be able to select some numbers not to withhold my number to. ie my girldfriend, my mum, my sister etc.
Does anyone know of anyosftware I can do this with?
Many Thanks
are u in the uk?
Yeah, Uk. Sorry should also say ive got a diamond with 6.5 installed.
I know about 141, but its gonna be long winded ordeal going through my phonebook!
use outlook contacts and change them from there or set the phones area code prefix to 141
HY to all. I know from time to time someone is looking for some VOIP options for mobile phones just as I was looking for it.
I will leave you link for downloading software for mobile and how to install it. Using is simple
I came out with very new brand and type of service for VOIP calls via all devices you can find including mobiles but unfortunately not all mobiles can work with that sowftware, more preiclisly there is no software for all types of mobiles just Android, Symbian and Iphone OS based phones.
Here you can find rates and software: www.logotell.com and here you can make VOIP account http://www.logotell.com/backoffice/?q=services
As I asked paying for vouchers for credit via Paypall and credit cards is in progress and it will be ready in few days (I hope).
IMPORTANT
Only thing to know is when you are making account at logotell.com it will ask you for "Sponsor's username:" so please put "hrga" as you got info from me . Later when you sugest to someone else he can put your user name (benefits you will find by yourself).
You can make VOIP account without registration at logotell just for free calls but if you want to buy credit you ll need to register and fill form. I suggest making acc at logotell first.
So: software download at www.logotel.com
for creating VOIP acc and to create virtual number use: http://sip.logotell.com/Logotell/OnlineShop/VSContainer.swf?module=signup2&state=portal
I am using software on Nokia E52 and works perfect. Unfortunately there is still no software for windows OS based phones so my old HTC is still only using SIM... :-(
As I heard from Android users thy say it works super and calls are very good.
Never heard of it, I'll try it asap. Does it use landlines or so for routing the call for free? Or do you just get 5mins free calltime when signing up.
EDIT: It has a neat UI, but haven't done any tests yet as I'm at work atm.
@OP: Are you always calling for free or just very low cost and is this another Skype/Truphone/Sipdroid/Rebtel/CSipSimple/magicjack application with low-cost call over 3G/Wifi?
Thanks in advance for you reply.
It is like this. If you use your cell via Wifi to oher user hooked on internet it is for free just as Skype etc. Otherwise if you want to call you will have low cost calls.
Tha is for now. Maybe it would be posibille to make some routing with other VOIP provider. bo...?
I also took their travel SIM card without roaming (so now everybody can bother me on cell when I am out of country)
Good if you are lot out of country.
Indeed this looks like a decent VoiP provider I have to agree.
I am using voip now for more then 12 years ;-) (at home that is)
I found some app's for voip on Android, to use whit voip(buster) etc, u can configure them.
can i use this whit other voip providers?
Could be.
Well if somenone finds some Voip for WindowsMobile I would be gratefull
