Goto Inbox, Tools, Options and Tap SMS.
call another mobile with the SIM inserted and see what number comes up?
If you have only one phone but 2 sims: send an SMS to the number of the other sim then swap sims and you should get "message from......"
Ben
You misunderstand me !
I did post this in the developers corner !?!?!
I meant how do I get the phone number from my XDA via code eVC into my program ?
Any ideas anyone ?
John
Although I havent tried it myself yet, the ExTapi function lineGetGeneralInfo should give you a structure with the subscribernumber.
Cheers!

I haven't tried to do this on the XDA but have done something similar on other phones by using the AT+C command set. From memory if you send a AT+CNUM to the phone it should respond with the subscriber number.
Does anyone know how to do this on an XDA? I would guess you need to have the wireless modem facility and then connect via this.
Cheers, Malachi
Take a look at the tstril example at this site, modifying it you can send AT commands to the modem.
Could any body please send me the eVB code for obtaining the XDA's phone number.
:shock:

Just been looking through the manual of my MDA III and it mentions the use of TrueFax (Pages 131 to 134), great I thought, that will come in handy. But I can't find it on my MDAIII?
Is it included? I've looked on the CDs but one is for activesync and the other contains the voice dialing software.
I've even downloaded it and installed it, but its says thats it a trial version.
Thanks
Richard
Just did a hard reset - sorted..
Cheers anyway!
Well happy now! - Free software!
Voice dialling ?
Hi,
i just got my Qtek9090 today and still comparing it with my qtek2020. What voice dialling software are you talking about ?? I found true fax on mine, installed from ext rom, but i can't seem to find any voice dialling....
care to trade ?????
hihihihihihiihi
Its called 'Fonix VoiceDial'. My MDAIII came with version 2.0
Its clever, in that you say the person's name and number type, for example:
'Richard Mobile' and it says it back to you (in a computer voice) then you have to say 'Yes' or 'No' to confirm dialling.
Not very handy in that you have to start it up, via opening the software, so not very hands free!

Its on mine
Start, Programs KSA Truefax 2.0
Thanks, what happened was I cocked up the first 'hard reset' - when I first switched it on... :roll:
Sync'd it with Outlook and hard reset it, and its sorted
Thanks!
wich i could say the same......
I've set the voice dial to the record button on the side of the MDAIII for quick dialing.
So simple, yet so difficult for Richard.
Thanks! - What a cracking idea :idea:
I-mate must not be including Fonix with their PDA2K units.
Folks I've got a question for those of you that have a PDA2K/MDAIII does the fax software work? Cuse I can send faxes fine but can't recieve any, and apparently I'm not the only one if you take a look at the clubimate forums.
If it does work for you folks could some kind individual post the cab file for it from their extended rom.
Fax does work, but...
True Fax does work really well in sending faxes, once I had figured out I had it I had sent a fax within minutes.
Now receiving faxes, thats a different story:
With T-Mobile there are two different services:
Service 1 (Free to use for business customers)
First you need to ask your operator for a fax number on your account. With T-Mobile its apart of their VoiceMail+.
This enables you to receive faxes to your voice mail. So you can receive faxes, but they don't get to your pda :-( , when you recieve a fax, you get a voicemail message saying that you have a fax, you can then either delete it or sending to a 'real' fax machine.
Service 2 (£25 one off cost)
To receive faxes on our I-MatePDA2k you need to ask your operator for a fax and data line. once you have a fax and data number you can actually receive faxes on your PDA, but not how you would expect....
With your PDA you need to turn on the 'recieve fax mode' within TrueFax. This enables you to receive faxes, but it turns off your mobile number so you can't make or receive calls :shock: when in this mode.
Vodafone in the UK have 'vodafone.net' which incorporates SMS/Email/Voice/Fax into one and I do really miss that service, becuase when I recieved a fax it came to me as an email attachment.
Hope that helps
TrueFax..SPV M2000
Hi everybody,
I have SPV M2000 fron Orange in Switzerland.
It doesn't seem to have TrueFax installed at all.... :x
Is there a way to get this program for free or I have to buy it?
thanks in advance

I'm afraid Fax support is completely network dependant. Some providers support it, some don't. You will need to ring your provider and ask them about it. Even if they do support it, they will probably give you another "fax only" number that people must send faxes to in order for your device to receive them.

Hi
Just to let people know, that the O2 Online Consumer tarriff does not and will not support fax send/recieve (this came from the horses mouth).
O2 Online Business tarriffs do support fax and they will allocate a fax no for the mobile. Ditto Consumer and Business O2 tarrifs bought from an O2 shop.
If you need fax, avoid O2 Online Consumer tarrifs as they will not enable fax.

Hi everyone... I am new to the PPC world... being just recently swatch from my Treo600 to a new XDA2s, I am having a little difficulty getting used to the Microsoft way of doing things in PPC2003... I am just wondering is there anyone who can help me or point me to the right direction where I can get some external program that can help me from going insane... here's my problem... I usually keep a huge contact list with all my customer, supplier, co-worker, family and friends contact all in my PDA... so the usual way for me to make a phone call is to search it from the contact list... but here's my problem, I travel alot with my job and depending on my current location, I have to edit the number in my contact before I dial the number... in my old palm, I can simply edit the number before I dial that number (there's a funtion on my palm that allows you to edit before call... so it allows me to edit the number without physically changing the number in my contact list)... I am just wondering can PPC do that? Or is there any program in PPC that will allow me to do that? As far as I can see... in PPC, as soon as I have search for a contact and then I click on his or her number with my stylist... it will automatically dial... I can not edit it before I dial... the only way I can edit it before I dial is to physically edit the contacts... which is very annoying as I sync my contacts with my exchange server, I don't wanna to have to have all my contact get mess up with different area code and dialling code from different country... anyone know how can I solve this problem? Thanks for your help in advance... I very much appriciate all of your advice in advance... Peter
I think the most straightforwards solution here is to store all of your numbers in the international dialling format; that way, wherever you are, your device will place the call correctly
For example - if I had a contact in Glasgow, UK, it would be stored as +44141xxxxxxx (+44 for UK, 141 for Glasgow and the remaining seven digits as the local number)
In my experience whenever I have been abroad, any calls to any of my stored numbers are placed correctly first time by either my SmartPhone or PPC.
If you're problem is regarding a slightly different issue then please expand on your problem by detailing what you mean by "modifying" your contact before you dial.
My problem is a little bit more complicated I think... I already has most number stored in the international dialing format... but my problem is that, depending on my location, I have to dial a certian set of numbers in front of the phone number to be dial in order for me to save on long distance and roaming... for example, while I am roaming in Mainland China if I want to dial home in Hong Kong with my mobile... normally, I will dial 0085226****88 but that will cost me like USD2 per minute... but if I dial with a prefix of 17909 (hence I will type in: 179090085226****88) then my per minute charge will now be something like USD0.10 per minute... which is a huge saving especially when I make roaming and long distance call all the time... the same thing in Hong Kong, if I dial 1666 before I dial long distance, I will get a much higher savings over regular long distance... my problem is that I can not possibly store all of these information for all the locations that I am going to be in, each places that I am going to be in, have a different sets of number... so is there any intellegent way to add additional numbers in front of the number stored in the contacts before it is being dialed in pocket pc? I know on my old palm... I can solve this problem in two ways... 1) I can set a certain dialing prefix before the system dial any number (normally I leave that blank, as I prefer edit before dial function)... I can use this prefix function but it will require me to change the prefix when I am at a different location but it is a workable solutions... is there something like that in PPC? 2) The second way to solve this was the edit before dialing function on the palm... I just click on the number, it allows me to edit the number temporary before it is automatically paste onto the phone software and before the phone dials it...
Anyway, I know this is very complicated and it is a very rare issues thats probably just affecting me or a very small number of users... but it will be great if there's some simple solutions to this... but I think this problem is mainly due to the lack of flexiblilty in the contact list rather then the function of the phone itself! :O) Anyway, thank you very much for your help and suggestions again... very much appriciate it :O) Peter
Try if this works

Can you please post the link again? It doesn't work :O) Thanks for your help :O) What kind of program is it? :O)
here's the link

you got it all wrong
... if you ask me: your approach is wrong. Here are the basics. Windows XP, for instance and Outlook, that is the source of the contacts (and phone numbers and other details that are entered), stores phone numbers in this 'international' format:
country code (MS has a list of countries and codes of its own)
are code (another, separate field) and
number
If you respect the fields provided by Outlook then you get a number generated by Outlook that looks like this:
+381 (064) 6185250
THIS is the 'correct' international format recognised by Microsoft Phone Dialer (well not actually MS but Active Voice, but that is a completely different issue)
My point is that +448704364673 is NOT a correct international phormat, because MS cannot differentiate between the international country code and long distance (area code) and therefore the phone dialer cannot parse the numbers correctly.
NOW, how to get the system to know WHERE you are and should it use the area code when dialing or you are in the area your friend is, or you want to call a toll free number that is in 'another' area, or you are dialing a client abroad etc. Well, there is the 'Dialing Rules' settings! THERE you create a profile (home, office, abroad etc.) and provide the area code for the dialer to differentiate...
This is all well with the Windows XP/Outlook 2002+ I know well, BUT when it comes to PPC... sorry, I have the same problem...>
FACTS:
fact no. 1: Outlook separates phone numbers in groups of>
country code
long distance code (area code)
number
fact no. 2: phone numbers entered this way are stored in a format>
+381 (064) 6185250
fact no. 2: Microsoft Phone Dialer recognises this number and dials correctly
via a voice modem... (headset or speaker/mike required)
Question: what hapens when contacts entered this way into Outlook are sunchronized with the
Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 5.0)?
Answer : all contact's numbers are entered into the Contacts list in the 'correct' format.
(the same format with the bracket, as is noted in PC Outlook)
My findings: the problem arrises when you use your mobile capable Pocket PC
(i.e. the super cool Qtek 9000) and try to dial someone on to his mobile or office phone that are on another
area code...
the Pocket PC, or Windows Mobile 'Phone dialer' dials EXACTLY
as the number is entered in the above mentioned format
(the mobile operator recognises the + at the beggining of the number, but
does not understand the spaces and the brackets!!! and offcourse
the mobile operator returns an error voice message that a wrong number has been dialed!
What am I to do?
Can I find/download/install a proper phone dialer (i.e. MS Phone Dialer) that comes with Windows?
Phone Dialer 1.5
Developed for Microsoft by Active Voice
http://www.activevoice.com/dialer
bottom line is that CISCO systems aquired this Phone Dialer in 2001 and Active Voice discontinued developing/supporting whit app. (link on the Active Voice site is outdated and no support on MS site, as well)
(please do not post solutions as: "you should reformat your number entries etc. because I have 800+ contacts and counting...)
P.S. what I gathered is that this is not device related it is just OS and app related. I had the same problem with my previous Nokia phone... (I did not solve. Actually I thought I will solve with this device...)
I've set the Dialing Rules with my country code and area code (Mobile etc.) So, I don't have a clue what am I doung wrong
I'd like to be able to enter my contacts on my XDA Orbit, 7-digit number only, and have it recognize these contacts when they call. My carrier passes the number (123)456-7890 to my phone as +11234567890,, so why can't my phone realize that that number is the same as 4567890 (in the same area code). This way, whenever I receive a phone call or text message, I'm not sure who it is. Is it a simple setting? Thanks. My past phones (mostly Nokias and Samsungs) have not had problems with this at all.

Maybe you can try this:
Contacts > Menu > Options..., you can see the Area CODE, just Clear it.
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I kept getting the 500 Internal Server Error when trying to access the site. Neither removing the area code, nor adding a 1, nor adding +1 works. Thanks for your help so far.

HI all
im having a problem on my m8 tmobile.
i got it in the US and im using it in another country - all works good except one thing.
lets say i have a contact saved in my address book as DAVE and his phone number is 12345678
when Dave calls me i see his name on the screen - all ok
when dave sends me an SMS the sms app doesnt recognize him as one of my contacts and the only thing i see is the country code and then 12345678.
i tried to add the country code to the contact and the SMS worked fine but when i get a call from him now its not recognized there and all i see on the screen is the country code and his phone number 12345678.
bottom line - its not just dave , its for 100% of my contacts.

I'D guess it's set to expect a ten digit US phone number. I think that is a property set in the build.prop. what country or locale do you want it to default to? I'm not sure I can help but I'll try...
