in WM 6.5, i used "commas" in my dial strings for conference bridges etc to insert a pause. Now that i have moved those contacts to WM7, they don't work anymore - the pauses are just ignored and the conf bridge codes shoot out at lightening speed. I tried inserting p's and w's with no luck.
I deleted the commas and put them in again. Works great for me. Good luck.
Very strange.. i created a new contact card manually on the phone using commas and it still won't work. It spits out the calling card sequence with no regard for the pauses... hmm
i.e. 18881231234,,123 is the same result as 18881231234,,1,,,,2,,,,,3,,,,,,,4
Commas are totally disregarded.

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
Hi guys! I hope you guy's can help me out. Is it possible to insert a pause after a phone number? I would like a 2-3 second pause after an access number then have a pin number auto inserted.I've searched lots of posts but to no avail. Device is a blueangel 2003se.
Cheers!
use the "," (comma) symbol
Thanks for a quick response. Would there a space after the comma then the pin number? ie 07999123456, 1234
Cheers
As far as I know, the phone ignores spaces when dialing. I have one of my contacts set to dial his company's voicemail system, give his voicemail's access code, and leave my number as a numeric message, then hit pound to exit. It is in the format
(555) 555-1212 ,12345,,1234567890#
Thanks for that explanation, NetHead. Worked as you described!
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.
Hey guys,
I just started using Treo 750. I love it so far except few things I miss about my old Nokia. Earlier I used to dial a calling card number and then just choose the contact's destination number by selecting "Touch Tone" option from the menu while in call, and it would touch tone that number for me and I was connected. Now, WM5 phone app doesnt seem to be able to do it, and I have to write down the contact's number on a paper first before dialing calling card access number.
Also, I know a comma can be used a 1-second soft pause, but any possible way to add hard pauses in the phone number like traditional cell phones can do... Its cumbersome carrying calling card's PIN code in pocket, and then entering it after dialing calling card number and then punching in destination number from a paper again... its frustrating...
I tried to look up a lot of dialers and apps, but none was a helpful find. Could someone suggest any way out.
anybody???

I am using a product called MagiCall which has the calling card feature as well as calls filtering and SMS filtering.
I think it can help you.
Hey guys and gals,
this is my first ever post, which i felt was need to address those of us who use calling cards for whatever reasons.
I once was looking for calling card dialing programs to do the dialing. Some of these programs included going into the registry. All of that is simply unnecessary.
Here is what you can do:
1. create a new contact i.e. "calling card"
2. enter the calling card's phone number
3. on the same line you type ",," followed by the pin number
4. enter additional commas ",,"after the pin and then enter the phone number you will be calling.
5. save the new contact.
at the end of it the sequence your contact phone number should have this format:
"calling card's phone number,, pin,, number you are going dial" or something like "555-555-5555,, 0000, 011-592-0101.
the commas act as pauses when your ppc is dialing a number. You may need to customize the format depending on the phone card company, some companies require that you enter "#" after the number you wish to dial.
another solution i found is the service Jajah.com
they have a neat little java applet with their service. So if their rates make sense for you, you should give it a try. Also I got their midlet to work with the latest version on Intent Midlet Manager.
Best of luck!
hope this was helpful.
