Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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......"

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:

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

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
Hi,
Using the updated rom from the dutch T-Mobile website i've came accros this problem with KSE Software TrueFax 2.0. It completely lock's up the device. The Dutch T-Mobile staff can reproduce this problem but claim no responebility: I did not write this software so I cannot support it.
URL: http://nl.sitestat.com/ben/ben/s?MDAIII_update&ns_type=clickin
That was the exact words he used (in dutch offcourse Sooooo i'm of sending mails to KSE. On the site they ask for patients if takes 'a bit longer' to get a reply for the call. Hmmm... that's a good start
I am a happy MDAIII user. I've solved my problems with GPRS disconnects and overcame the bluetooth hassle. I really hope this fax thing will work.
This is what i've send to kse (using the webform):
The MDA III (Dutch version) completely halts when the user tries to attach a document to the fax.
The following steps lead to the error:
1. Open the fax software (Windows Logo -> programs -> truefax icon)
2. Open a new fax (tab new)
3. Type in fax number and recipient name (in the fields To: and Fax#)
4. Tab next
5. Tab on the Add box.
The MDA III is now completly halted no other program can be used. The device returns to normal after a (soft) reset only.
This problem has been reproduced by the dutch T-Mobile technical support staff however they claim that they cannot support Truefax and users should go to KSE directly to get support for this program.
I have just got fax activated on my SIM and been given a new fax number as well, so I have been sending and receiving faxes with TrueFax as advertised.
However...
Shouldn't there be some way to send and/or receive without automatically going into flight mode and dialing internal modem? If twirpy Nokias can do it (they can and do), why not Blue Angels?
Is it just a limitation of TrueFax, or is it just impossible to do with Xda IIs?
EDIT: Doesn't MFaxCE do this? With version 1.8.6 it claims to be the first mobile fax software to send via voice modem. (It can also use Xda internal modem, like TrueFax.) Anyone try it yet?
Hello,
I don't know if this is the right place for my question.
I own HTC Hermes and HTC Rhodium and since I have changed to WM devices I noticed that when I get a forwarded call from my office I cannot identify if it's forwarded or not. Searched and shearched google and xda and I can only found a pay program to do it where http://www.xtkit.com/archives/51
Has anyone tried it? Works? Is there any other solution like registry modification?
I really need to know when a call is forwarded to me.
Thanks!
