Hi,
i am looking for a tool, which i could run on my pc to dial numbers on my mobile phone. I have a phone with Windows Mobile 6.5
Basicly, i like to dial numbers, on my PC, by doing copy and paste or out of my outlook contacts.
My mobile than should dial the number.
Does anybody know, if something like this is existing?
Thank you,
Gliddie

hey
...that's a great idea i would love to be able to dail like that, too!
Calls to mobile numbers by a Mobile phone with a mobile number flatrate can be used efficiently via Windows standard PC. No klicking by hand, no wasting time to copy the right number etc...
DO we find a here who can do this, here??
Or maybe allready there is somewhere such a nice application, hmmm?

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

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

STK
Question: I have STK with a cloned SIM card with 4 numbers on it. The program is called Multinumber. This lets you change between the different numbers on the SIM card. I noticed that the Multinumber window always pops up when a SMS text message is sent. It pops up at the same time that you get the Message sent bubble. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that?
WM 2005 and Saving contacts on SIM
I can't save any contact on SIM! anybody has a solution?
hi i want to make a application that will detect when a call is about to made, then it will cancel that call and then dial a predifed number instead of user dialed number, i want to know how is possible to cancel call usin TAPI.i m using VC++ and vs 2005 and my application is for windows CE.
thanks in advance.
I've got Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional on O2 Xda and have noticed that it won't do something simple which bugs me.
If I dial a number or receive a call I'd then like to be able to save it to my sim card. The phone only allows saving of a number to Outlook Contacts. Saving a number to the sim currently requires opening up Sim Manager then saving the number. And I have to write down the number and copy it back in.
Oddly, if it's an existing contact the phone allows it to be saved to sim (Menu>View Contact, then with a number highlighted: Menu> Save to Sim).
So here's the challenge: is there software that would allow a dialled number or received call (perhaps from the Call History) to be saved to the sim card, with contact info as well?
Thanks
You should be able to save it either or. By default it opens outlook, but when you hit new contact, it will ask you to save in SIM or outlook! Try it one more time...
Well done ai6908, it does seem possible but there isn't an option to Save it to Outlook or SIM, it saves it straight to Outlook. I then have to also save it to SIM then find it and delete it from Outlook so it becomes about 7 steps.
I may be missing something though. Are you using WM6? If so can you talk me through how you save it directly to SIM?
Cheers
I am using a cooked WM6.1 ROM. What WM6 ROM are you using? Here is the screen print from my ROM. Thats the screen i get when i hit new in contacts. I am not sure why you dont have it. Maybe there is some reg tweak?
Interesting, I don't have this screen. Perhaps it's a tweak between WM 6.0 and 6.1. I'm using the official O2 ROM upgrade for my Tytn/Xda, which originally had WM 5.0 If there was a reg tweak I'd be game. Anyone?
My only other thought is that my Contacts software, Pocket Informant may be suppressing the option. I guess it depends on whether the screen is generated by WM or by Pocket Outlook.
Does anyone with WM6.0 know if this is down to the OS or Pocket Outlook?
Otherwise, I could try removing Pocket Informant or upgrade to WM6.1, though it seems a lot to do to be able to save to SIM.
But if I ever get round to upgrading to 6.1, which ROM did you use? How good do you find it?
Cheers
Colin
Maybe it is pocket informant! Did you try uninstalling and see if you can save it to SIM.

I'm new .
Today a friend of mine, made a call from his iphone 4 to me at Messenger \ voice and video
Tried this above link but it's sead dat i dont have flash player, i installed from web, looking for flash player for mobile phones windows mobile 6.5 i instlled and nothing don't want to show on my mobile this page.

Thank you.
I don't think there is a solution for using the voice commincation service of yahoo messenger. There is Skype available though if you prefer voice over ip.
it's possible because i see it in action

So you mean you have actually seen someone who made a call over Yahoo voice coummunication service using a Windows Mobile phone? I'm sorry but I really doubt this. You would need a decent flash palyer (does not exist) to do so. Another solution would be a special client software for the yahoo messaging service but such a thing also does not exist.
If you have really seen someone doing this I will gladly revise my statement. I would indeed be a great thing if it was possible.
You don't understand what i have been asking.
I didn't said that i see a video call from Windows Mobile, but " Today a friend of mine, made a call from his iphone 4 to me at Messenger \ voice and video "
And i wondered if this may be possible with a windows mobile phone.
I found a little program and it's working : VZOchat -- windows mobile / windows xp, 7.
