Is there any way to make Smartdial ignore area codes? I have area codes for all my contacts even the local contacts, in case of roaming. When I begin dialing a local number it doesn't find the correct contact unless I start by dialing the area code, which I wouldn't normally do for local numbers. I know my typhoon w/ WM2003SE did ignore area codes.
I am running the Faria Final "Cook you own" Rom, but I know all other ROM's I have ran this problem occurs in all of them.
Any ideas?
(Please don't say remove the area codes from my contacts, I put them there for a reason!)
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.
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. we use 10 digit dialing where I live and everytime a dial a number in the form of ***-***-**** it places a 1 in the front. No big deal for local calls but to dial a number in another nearby city here costs me nothing unless I dial the 1. Than it's long distance.
I've checked area code everywhere I can but can't figure out what's causing it.
Any ideas?
Is this possible without actually changing my area code, I just moved to the other coast and get annoyed by having to dial an area code every time I dial a local number, but for the past few years I've had the same phone number and don't want to change and lose all my old contacts... And yes I'm aware I can change it in the text menu but I'm talking about phone calls only, not texts.. Thanks..
I just add area codes to the phone numbers of all my contacts if you call local it don't matter if you add area code so that works for me
Hey I was wondering if any one knows of a way to get the state to show up when a unknown number calls based on the area code.
For instance,
503-555-5555 calls you and you know its from Oregon, even if the number isn't in your address book.
I know of Panoramic Area Code Genius app that requires you to punch in the area code manually. Which is fine, but my last phone had some feature where it showed up as caller ID. Just curious. Thanks
I would love this....
