Our company just made a biiiig change. Instead of all calls showing up on my phone as a single # (with a custom ring tone) each extension shows up as its own 10 digit number.
Any way to tell the phone to use the same ring tone for a group of numbers that all land in a range (ie the first 6 numbers are all the same) ?
it is possible to read the phone number while calling.
ask truburt if he can help you with it...

Hi,
When i receive incoming call, the number goes (XXX)XXX-XX, it appears like that for every number and it is wrong becuase it is not the country code but the first 3 digit of the caller's number. how to i enable back country code display?
thats because your phone is formatted to receive american format numbers...
Hi are there any possible tweaks for me to do so to rectify this problem please ?
Hi,
I have 2 numbers on my phone, one is my work number and the other is my private number. Incoming calls that are received through my private number appear with a prefix of '888'. I'm looking for a tool which would allow me to use a different ringtone for all incoming calls from numbers starting in '888' so I can distinguish between private and work calls (and mentally prepare myself accordingly - ie, stay in bed when a work call is received )
Is there such a program available?
Cheers
I have a contract with my cellphone company that provides me besides normal cellphone service, unlimited calls to a group of people in my country, all people in that group are identified with an aditional short phone number, so we have two phone numbers in our SIM, the normal one and the short one.
Happens that we use the short number to call ourserlves in the group (we could also use the normal number, but that'd be charged in my invoice as a normal call), but the normal phone number is always shown in our phones as incoming number when receiving a call from the group or outside, and that's how it is saved in call log.
So, in my contacts list, each contact has the two numbers added (I've set the normal phone number as cell phone number, and the short number as work phone).
Now the problem, the way smartdialer in WinMo5 and later work is to show the last call (made/missed/received) of every contact, then contacts list (if contact not already shown before), and after receiving a call from the group in my case the normal number is shown, and there's no way to use the short number to reply, unless I take the long path and go to contacts list and choose the contact and number manually; usually I'm in a hurry and just forget and call the contact using smartdialing and happens that the normal number is dialed.
I had no problem using smardialing with WinMo2003 as there was an option to choose a default number when there were multiples numbers on a contact, so, no matter what number a contact used to call me, when using smartdialing the default number was always chosen, I see no equivalent in WinMo5 or later.
Now, is there a way to replicate that behavior from WinMo2003? (registry/patch/etc.), thanks for taking the time to read.
P.D. the same can be said when we have multiples numbers in a contact (work/home/etc.) and receive calls from some of them but just want to reply to just one of them.
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!!
Dear Sir or Madame,
I would like my phone to ring silently (as if the sound profile were set to "silent") when an "Unknown" caller calls it. By "Unknown" I mean callers who block their number. I do not mean callers who aren't in my address book, whose number is displayed when they call. I do not want the phone to hang up on the calls, redirect them to some other number, or any other type of fancy response.
I have tried over a dozen "call / sms blocker" type apps from the market, and every single one of them has two problems: 1) They are way, way, over complicated, and 2) None of them work properly - each has one or more bugs which interfere with normal usage of my phone.
Does anyone know of an app which would simply "ring" silently for "Unknown" callers, and doesn't do much, if anything, else?
My phone is an HTC Inspire 4G. I can run either Froyo or Gingerbread, in case that is an issue in finding a solution to my problem.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Showtune
