Hello,
I've been to a few phone numbers that require you to select where you want your call directed - e.g. godaddy - press 3 for tech support. It doesn't seen to recognize my numbers being pressed once the call is established.
Can you please tell me how to correct it? I make a LOT of calls to companies that have call routing.
It works some of the time (with the same numbers -e.g. godaddy) - but not reliably.

Is there any way of setting up a short cut button to forward your incoming calls to another number? The reason I ask is because the way you have to do it is to go menu>options>services>call forwarding>get settings>forward all incoming phone calls to>. It would be much easier to just press two buttons one to forward and one to reset back again.
Thanks

There is a "shortcut" but it's not on the phone and it depends on the carrier.
With my local carriers, they support activating different forwarding options by use of a sequence of key strokes + phone number to their system. I forward calls to my phone in the office when at work so I save the sequence+number to my Contacts and add it to Favorites, and whenever I'm in the office I simply select Favorites to send the instructions to the system to activate. Naturally I also have another entry on Favorites to deactivate.
Check with your carrier to see if they support this.
from the phone screen click menu>options>Services tab>Call Forwarding and click "Get Settings..." this might be different depending upon carrier but it works for me
i use my TP2 for both personal and work, and its on 24/7, but i would like to automatically divert business calls(as defind in the caterogy section in outlook, when you hit edit contact - more)
ideally iwould like to be able to select a category and choose if i want ot divert that to voicemail
if it could also define it to auto divert the category based on day and time and if possible based on calender entry or defineable.
also if it could change my profile as well that would be amazing.
so does anyone know how i could go about doing this

I'd strongly recommend "Magicall" by Mobiion ( http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html )
It can definitely divert via Category; not sure if it can do it by the type of number (business; home) as I've not tried that yet

that is perfect (on the face of it, havnt tested it in the field as yet) i just want to block certain people during certian times, and they are stored ascertain categories.
i hope that the "hang up" option diverts to my voice mail,
and to be able to SMS them as "sorry im on holiday" text is just the iceing on the cake
thanks

Yes - that's exactly what 'hangup' does (same as pressing the red button on any other mobile.
I do think it's a little confusing as to what magicall has named the following operations:
Magicall 'Ignore' = Do nothing, other than mute the ringer
Magicall 'Hangup' = Divert Immediately to voicemail (i.e. 'do not disturb')
I use Magicall primarily for handling outgoing International and/or calls to mobiles. I have different international calling cards set up, and whenever I dial anything other than a US domestic number I get Magicall to change the outgoing number and use a calling card. Saves me $$$, and allows me to use different calling cards for different countries/types of call automatically.
I'm considering writing a small app that will allow me to set and/or toggle individual rules within Magicall for a period of time (I often want to just hit a 'do not disturb' button as I get called into an unscheduled meeting, diverting most calls to VM without actually turning off the phone or manually creating a meeting to say I'm busy)
As you hit the button it would allow you to specify a time period; if that was about to expire the phone would vibrate to alert you, if you did nothing the rule would be re-enabled). I've only been using Magicall for a couple of weeks, but I think this would be a very useful addon (and would work well - there's already a command line interface for external apps to control rules)
If anyone thinks that would be useful, let me know - not sure how many Magicall users there are around here! (I'm not associated with them - just a happy customer!)

This may be more of a Windows Mobile question than it is about the TP2, but hopefully someone will have some input. We have added a couple TP2's in the mix with our Blackberries at work and I've run into a slight problem. Being that we use these as business devices the few quirks below are pretty inconvenient. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Everyone in our company has the same phone number but a different extension. Here is a sample of how the contact are stored (using Exchange):
Example
Contact1 John Doe - Company XYZ - 555-123-4567 x23
Contact2 Jane Smith - Company XYZ - 555-123-4567 x25
Contact3 Mike Brown - Company XYZ - 555-123-4567 x27
Question 1
With our Blackberries, if either of the three listed contacts calls, the incoming caller ID will the show "Company XYZ" since it's the only common field between the contacts. With the TP2's, it seems to pick a random contact to display instead of the company name.
Is there any way to display the company name instead of a random contact?
Question 2
When making outgoing calls with the Blackberries, the phone will remember the extension and all you to press the trackball to enter it once the call connects. On the TP2's, it shows the extension in the contact list, but forgets it as soon as you dial number.
How can I get support for extensions with our WM phones?

I think conference calls are network dependent. you make a call then call someone else and then i think you press menu key and merge calls. T mobile does not allow it.
Instead search for hullo group call which might work for you.
hope that helps.
I do conference in this way (I use HTC Legend):
- Make one normal call with the first person of the conference. Wait him to answer the call. Then:
- Click on Apps/Phone. Enter the name or number of the second person and click on "Call" (sorry if it appears a bit different in your phone, I am translating from my Spanish phone). Wait this person to answer the phone. The first call will be automatically on hold
- Now, in the bottom right corner of the screen, you will have an icon to "join in conference". Just click on il and the conference will start.
I think conferences are really useful. With Android need to do several clicks but works fine (the quality of the conference will depend of the network. Usually conference are enabled on networks because operators gets more money -they get more calls at the same time)
It should also work in a similar way if the people of the conference calls you, instead of you calling to them. But you should enable "waiting call" option on your phone network options to be warned when the second person call you.
Hope this helps.
Hello Everybody,
As a profane developer , I am trying the following on my htc T5353.
I have a central pbx at the office and I would like a software that when running, makes all calls going through the central in this way: I call a number, then I receive a tone, then I send the real number I want to call.
I don’t know how to “intercept” an outgoing call so to make it going through my routine.
Alternatively, I could split in two the green button (“TALK”) in the default call program and use one for standard calls and the other for calls going through my routine.
However, I don’t know how to modify the standard call-program.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
