i will try to explain this the best i can.
We have in the last week receieved two new handsets, a DesireHD and Desire Z, we have also signed up to Vodafones one net express.
one of the functions of One Net is to be able to show a virtual landline number when dialing out (youare given several viirtual numbers on the account) to show the number you have to use a code with # -- # (-- being the short code for the number) when i enter this i get an error message saying "invalid MMI code". Having spoken tothe one net team they inform me that Android phoens will not accept # codes or shortcodes, Has anybody found any type of work around to enable the use of # codes on Android or should they work.
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Dean
Hmm on aosp here and just tried #31# and it says mmi code activated, and throws a popup telling me the service is disabled, so it seems to work fine here.
Thanks for the reply, what android version are you running- is it stock or Custom Rom, i am wondering if this could make a difference.

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:

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
Anyone knows of any utility that will allow me to edit a phone number before dialing? For example, when in my home country, I need to dial a prefix of 1551 while in overseas, I need to dial *121*xxxxxxxx#. I can't do it easily now unless I create multiple repetitive phone numbers with different dialling prefix. Thanks.
Try Magicall.

Thanks. I just needed a simple utility where I can opt to manually change the numbers before I dial. For example, numbers are stored in my contacts with the country code: +62 XXXXXXX. While roaming, I just need to prefix *121* followed by the country code (without the + sign) and number and append a # sign at the end.
I found these codes used on the dial pad of Nokia phones. I've tried a couple but since I have no knowledge of them I figured I'd post them and hope a more experienced person could educate us. Enter code and hit call button. I highlighted the ones I tried with the results I experienced. All the messages displayed in top left corner via bubble box.

what does it means when i typed some code in and it said, " unexpected data value"?
Probably what is sounds like...you did something unexpected... ie.. the result was unexpected...
Its probably a generic error that is trying to say "I don't know what you did but stop that"

You should not need to press dial to input the code. Mostly likely the code tried is not supported by the handset. That is a very generic list of Nokia codes, some will work and others will not.
I thought ##634# installed the Diag app. ##DATA# Just gives you cell info and tests.
Subscribed. Curious to see where this goes. Some of those codes look interesting and makes me wonder if there are any others
A lot of these don't work on ATT Lumia 900
So how do you get the "*" to work? Long pressed and typed in various ways.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
I have a rooted Sprint gs3 ice cream sandwich but I no longer am with sprint, I use google voice exclusively and my google voice number.
I just downloaded snapchat and I can't activate it because it automatically sends a verification text to the device phone number & does not let you manually set your number. So now I need to find a way to set my device phone number to my google voice one.
Any suggestions?
I am not sure changing your # will be the only issue. If you aren't on sprint, then what messaging service is being used?
Is there another verification method? like send an email instead?
But for changing #'s look into getting your MSL code (unique 6 digit)
##DIAG# to set USB settings, ...then using a program that can reprogram your phone.
There are guides on how to obtain that info from your phone.
But this might be a waste of time and might not solve your issue.

Thanks for the MSL code tip, haven't tried it yet but the issue resolved itself after numerous attempts. Snapchat doesn't do email verification, the way they do it on Android seems to be by taking the number stored in your phone, or by making you send a text message to their number. I did it with Google voice app and it didn't work, but when I did it through Talkatone it worked after a few restarts. Weird.
Any other google voice users successfully change your snapchat number to your GV number? If I ask snapchat to verify my number and launch using google voice their message does not get transferred to gv to send. If I use hangouts it does, but after sending the verification code I never get a response.
