[Q] GAL phone # lookup? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I need to be able to dial a phone number by searching our corporate MS Exchange Global Address List, is this possible? I can do a GAL search to compose an e-mail just fine but if I need to make a phone call to a co-worker who's number is not in my personal contacts but I know is in the Global Address List, am I able to do a search for it?
thanks in advance

voip dialing

anyone here using voip service integrated with WM6 and is having to dial 001 (depending on your country) and then their number? i've combed through numerous threads on editing files to get this fixed so it dials it for you, but i cant seem to get it done...failing on all sorts of levels, from what i read, i'm not the only one so was wondering if anyone could offer some sort of help. any help would be appreciated, and if it ends up working i might even pay you for your time (thats how frustrated i am)
*bump*.....
yes, its annoying.
I have to dial all numbers (from/to the Netherlands) as 0031<number>.
Even more annoying is the fact that all my contacts are stored in the format +31<number) so I have to change them or dial them by hand each time.
I guess no one has a solution.
I've been saving my numbers in international form for so long it took me a while to understand what you meant
There used to be a vbscript for Outlook to do this (so you could sync your contacts to Outlook, and the script would add +<countrycode> to the numbers that don't already have it), but I can't remember the name. Wouldn't be a huge job to do by hand, though, unless you have several hundreds of contacts

well i have about 100...dont mind doing it by hand if need be, but wont that lead to complications whne using the phone with my network service. think numbers dialed with 001 on local calls through regular network services (my normal cell phone provider) wont work....
lol hope that made some sense...
has to be away around this, so that when using voip service, 001 is added, and when not using voip service its removed
If I dial a number 003164637....... it works ok, if I dial from outlook as +31 (64) 637...... it also works when using the GSM network.
VOIP will only work if I dial 003164637.... It does not like the + and () characters.
If I enter a number in Outlook as 0031 (64) 637.... then outlook will remove the leading 00, I can only store the numbers in outlook if they are stored like 003164637.... with no spaces. So not only do I need to remove the + I also have to remove the brackets and spaces!
you could export the outlook contacts as a csv file, edit it (find + replace feature) import back to outlook and finally do a phone sync....

problem i see with that is when i do import it back, all my contacts would be replaced with a 001 in front of it. but when on my gsm network, 001 will not be dialed (since i believe that stands for an exit code). so what all of us need i believe is to set it so that it automatically dials 001 (or 0031 ) when using voip, but not dialed when using gsm network.

Sync Contacts with no email address too

Hi,
I noticed that the contacts in my HTC Touch don't sync with my outlook if no email address is present in the contact on the phone. As soon as I enter an email address into the contact, the contact will also appear on outlook.
The thing is I want to to sync ALL contacts, not just the ones with emails. I think it can be useful to have the phone numbers or street address in my outlook too even if I don't know (or don't use) the person's email address.
I understand outlook contacts is mainly to keep email addresses but I also use it as a general contacts books for street adddress, phone numbers, birthdays, etc...
What I'm doing now is enter a random email address like "[email protected]" in the contact to make sure it syncs but I'm pretty sure there's a better solution...
Thanks very much!
Remi
Can someone at least confirm me that the behavior is the same on every mobile phone?
Thanks!
no I've never heard about such behaviour before
non of my wm devices ever don anything of the sorts
tons of my contacts don't even have phone numbers or emails
this belongs in the Q&A section.
thank you

[Appsearch] Include Corporate Adress Book in Caller identification

I'm looking for an app that can show me who is calling if the caller is not in my contacts. there are many. but none of them seem to be able to fetch the information from my corporate address book.
When I search contacts my corporate oulook address book is included into the search but when a call comes in the callers are unknown even though they could be identified in search mode.

App for Exhange Caller ID

Hi,
Is there any android app what can resolve the call number from exchange server?
If the exchange server is configured I can search for contacts, in the default "Contact"app,
but It not resolve the Caller ID in case of an incomming call. (I dont want to copy all call number from the exchange because there are many of them...)
Thx,
Morph.

This tool search in its own Database, not in exchange.
Or I need to make some config?
