Looking for caller id software - General Questions and Answers

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

Need to edit the number before I dial on O2 mini

Hi all,
I need to travel around for business trips and I will need to add IDD code and area code in front of the phone number before I dial when I travel. I found that it is very inconvenient to use O2 mini, as I cannot edit the number before I dial. Anyone knows if I can change the setting and could amend the phone on the dialer? Or I will be grateful if there is a dialer programme to replace the default one on O2 mini. Thanks
Hi.
Sorry I dont know of any proggi that will do this for you, but if i where you I would just start writing in those +XX numbers in front of every number in your contacts, and make it a habbit to do so every time you create a new contact!
Maybee some else knows of a proggi to do this for you
Thanks for your input. I am very delighted to found Bong's Workship Prefix Dial which could solve my problem well and it is free. :wink:

ROM with a dailer that allows me to edit the number

Dear members,
I have a kaiser with dutty's WM6.1 which I totally love, however, I am looking for a rom that allows me to edit a dialed number. Say I dial 0815361 , I am looking for a rom that would allow me to simply backspace the 0 and add 016 to dial 016815361.
Simple but driving me nuts. I am visiting a country that requires me to add a prefix to international calls. I just wanna be able to do this without editing every record in my phone book

I don't know if this would be a function of the ROM or the dialer installed, but certainly this would be a good feature, a rather obvious feature, since most cellphones have this capability.

I have never seen any dialer that let you edit numbers in the middle of a string, on any phone. Have you? I'd be interested to know.

Check which provider belongs 2 the number

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.

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?

Anyway, to answere your question, it uses web lookup... the site that is used for US is whitepages.com

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! It takes different time depending on how fast the services servers are, but it normally takes about 2-3 seconds i think!

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!

Just go to settings page and there you will find your countrycode and provider

Why no answering machine for wm ???

Hi,
I am wondering why there ain't any working answering machine's for wm yet ? iSecretary was one which I guess is not working in wm6.5. Does anyone else know more about it ? I understand it might be duplicate thread, but since there's no latest posts on any of them I opened up new one hopping to catch eyes of u ppl....
Actually, there is an answering machine. Its awesome too. I got it free from my carrier. If I don't answer my phone after like 4 rings, it picks up and takes a message for me. Then, after it beeps and lets me know theres a message, I push a few buttons and a can listen to them. Then I can delete them, and start all over!
I can't seem to remember what its called though. Hmm....
Maybe someone else can help me with figuring out the name of this?
Wow, never thought about this, this would be really nice. It would be a good way to get voice mails recorded since it would be locally stored and not server stored like voice mail. I'd really like to know if their is one in circulation.
Edit: Apparently it's impossible due to hardware limitations of HTC phones, and seems Gigabyte's phone is the only one that can do it. More information here.
guess the reason for lack of more options is that most operators today offer answering machine at the operator end so it works even if the phone is off
like I mentioned already iSecretary worked fine until wm6.5 even in HTC. I used it in my HTC Fuze with wm 6.1. But it doesn't work in wm6.5. I don't know why. My operator doesn't give such voice message service for free. I am searching for a software like iSecretary that works with wm6.5.
seems nobody is interested in my post ???
Use google voice then, it's free and works when your phone is off. Since your provider doesn't give you voicemail, you should be able to use GV as your voicemail provider - heck, Sprint gives me voicemail for free, but I still have GV setup as my primary voicemail. For free, Sprint has a deal with Google.
you could try YouMail.com, i have it and its free for the basic service which is voicemail. you can customize the voicemail greeting also, its great, i get a laugh everytime....
both YouMail.com and Google Voice doesn't support my country yet. Is there any software that works like answering machine ?

Ah... yea I guess I take for granted the fact that all these new services seem to always get piloted in the US of A. Sorry... I don't know of anything else :S
Doesn't anybody give interest to make an answering machine like iSecretary ?
I too would like an answer-phone software & I'm surprised HTC never made the most of this issue & resolved the hardware problems & bundled an answer-phone software of it's own.
G-Smart done it back in WM5 times & it was a good tool & marketing niche.
