hey,
looking for a way to be able to dial a number off my contacts when using a calling card. ie, when i call the calling card, it tells me to enter the number i wish to call, so instead of having to hand dial it in there, is there a way i can just go to contacts and insert that number? seems silly that i have to write that number on a piece of paper and then hand dial it. thanks

Insert a "w" into the number to have the phone stop and wait for you to press send to enter anything that follows. Insert a "p" to have the phone pause for 2 seconds and then chug along. So for your contact:
(Calling Card Co. Phone #)w(CC Access Number/PIN)#p(Contact Phone Number)#
would dial the calling card, wait until you pressed send, enter your access code/pin for the calling card followed by a pound sign, pause two seconds (so the system can do its thing), and then dial the contact number followed by a pound.
You'll obviously need to customize to match the way your particular CC works.
Is it a silly question to ask why you are using a calling card on a cellphone? Are there any plans left that don't include long distance?
I'll make my guess in two words - "International calls."
Either that or he's trying to hide those 1-900/976 calls from his gf/wife.
$2.99/min doesn't last long...
haha na guys, i'm calling international. much cheaper to use calling cards than to dial straight. i'm still at school, and i tried what you said, didnt seem to work, but i'll try it again once i get home. btw, its the type of calling card where my number is saved with them, so i call the card, and it automatically asks me for the number i wish to dial thanks

Well the same dialing suggestions apply. Whatever you dial on your phone manually needs to be inputted using a 'w' for anything entered manually or a 'p' for a pause, which sounds like what you need. You can put multiple 'p''s for longer pauses like: 1234567890ppp12345 which would give you roughly a 6 second pause.
You can also try inserting commas, e.g:
18007777777,,,0119991234567
But I don't think you can tap a contact phone number and have it inserted mid-dialing stream. If the numbers you are calling will always use the calling card I would just save the calling card sequence as part of each of their numbers.
My personal recommendation is to use SunnySoft calling card and, if you are in the US calling internationally, GorillaMobile.
I'm originally from the UK and call the UK a LOT on my cellphone.
This combination makes it totally painless, just have the international contacts in the phone book as a regular contact (preceded by +44 in my case) adn just press dial. All completely seemless and Waaaaayyyy cheapper than AT&T (even reduced rate) International calling.
Just my 2c
This program could help solve the problem for you.
You can store you calling card and pin with this. Then, you can use contacts and select any phone number and you will see a "Call with calling card" on it.
I use this extensively.
Hope this helps

Very cool. Thanks so much for the binaries.
I think the source can be found here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158783.aspx if anyone needs to tweak it. I went ahead and installed the signature (pulled a copy off the CAB in PK7 format), but I don't think it's required.
I've wrestled with it for a few days before I found a post claiming contention with the WM version of Google Maps. Sure enough, after uninstalling GMaps and and uninstalling and ReInstalling the callingCard cab, all worked well. I can live without GMaps.
Contrary to the doc, you can place symbols along with letters in your pin. Since I have to enter two pins with my card mine looks something like:
12223334567#pp1234#
That enters the first PIN (Account number) # then two pauses. Then it enters the second PIN (PIN) and #. I think reboots are required between regedits for this to work properly.

Hello,
Thank you autosoori and Dan. I've added a very quick and dirty configuration GUI to it (its been a while since I've done any C++ programming to decided to use C# instead - apologies for the rubbishness on my part, but you will require .NET CF). The GUI is launched from the context menu in the Contacts list. Context sensitive help is provided within the app. Changed DLL so that device reboot is NOT required when registry changes are made.
I've only tested it on my Trinity running AX3L's WM6 ROM. Plan on adding support for multiple CC vendors (wife uses several calling card companies depending on destination). Apologies for the lack of clipboard support on edit controls.
Two files:
CallingCard.dll
CallingCardEdit.exe
I've wrapped them in a cab file. Alternatively, copy the two .exe's from zip to the original CallingCard's install dir; add a regstring in HLCU\Software\Microsoft\CallingCard called "ConfigApp" with the value being the full path to CallingCardEdit.exe; restart device.
Cheers
it works fine at my SX66 WM6, but only works with contact Menu than any other GUI .
hope for more functions
Changes requested
Hi,
My previous username was a bit non-random (for obvious reasons!), so I've changed it. Anyway, tell me what changes you want and I'll see if I can fit them in. If anyone wants the source, I can mail it to them.

I installed it and it's works fine, but today stopped work... the link appears, but I can't call with it. I tried to install it again... the same...
any idea?!
Here is a big problem I have with this CAB when used with GoogleMaps. If I install CallingCard AFTER GoogleMaps ... no Context menu for CallingCard appears in Contacts.
If I install CallingCard BEFORE GoogleMaps ... both GM and CC context menu appear, but when I select something like "Call work using calling card" it tries to use GoogleMaps instead
GREAT Application / New Features
GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks a lot !
works very well !
is there a way to use it with the call shortcuts for fast dialing ("numérotation rapide" in french) ?
it would be a very very very nice feature !!!
other options (less important, but pretty nice) :
1. ability to dial # after the "dial number"
2. in settings : ability to choose "0 secs" on each menu (pre-pin pause and pre-dial Pause)
Thanks in advance

GREAT Application / New Features
I havent reviewed this app for a long time - apologies. I've moved calling card provider to one that gives me a local number for each of my international contacts - nice!
Anyway, if someone desperately needs some work on it, I will try to fit it in - let me know.
Phil82de: I noticed the problem with Google Maps. I will try to look into it.
samerweb: Again, I'll see what I can fit it. What exactly do you mean by call shortcuts? If you mean phone Quickdials, then you could save the number that is actually dialled directly as a contact. Can you clarify.
Thanks.
hi i have installed this file on my mobile, but can't find the setting. please help
If so, how?
Thanks!

My friends are running this program on their TyTN II. I have just installed it myself but have not tested it yet. The ReadMe file is not giving to much of info however check this for configuration and setting up: http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=180654&ssid=68079

No problem at all.
- Install the cab.
- Open MJ config.
- Input your sim as "Approved" or what ever they call it.
- Input the pfone number/numbers to send the SMS when an unauthorized SIM is inserted.
- Insert the code you vant to use. Lets say "1111"
- Save
Before you delete the MJ config application, test the functionality.
To test send an SMS to your phone with the text "1111 +g". The phone should now replay with its GPS position as soon as it gets a fix...
Edit: And you do have to restart your device after configuring MJ to start the services...
Those work, but the REPORT service does not work. I traded sim cards with my GF to see if it would send a txt to any other phone upon sim change. Negative. It did not send a text. That feature is most important I believe. Has anyone gotten it to work?

Remote Tracker
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/
can do much the same thing, also can use the kaiser GPS, which i'm not sure how to configure yet and havent gotten a fix but i did insert my brothers SIM and stole his information :-D it's got interesting options.
I'm using the latest version of Slide2Unlock found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
Tried asking my question there, but no responses so far so I thought I'd ask in the Kaiser specific forum.
Everything seems to be working fine except when I get a call from someone in my contacts, it displays only the Number instead of their name. Anyone know how to fix this to get their name to be displayed instead?
Thanks.
I had that same problem before and it was because my contact list was from my SIM card and not the phone's memory. I had to move all my SIM contacts to the phone memory and it was fixed. Hope that fixes your problem..
i am quite sure if you open the slide to unlock settings there is an option for how you want the contact to be displayed.

There is something to display how the number is displayed ie. (###) ###-#### or ###-###-###
I haven't come across anything that says whether or not to display the name of the contact. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

That could be the problem. All of my contacts are on my SIM card as I just got the phone about a week ago and haven't transferred them over yet. I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks.
yeah, my contact names show up..... i am using S2U2 1.00 w/o any issues

Are your contacts from your SIM card or stored on your phone?
there is an option to 'enable caller id' this puts the contact picture on screen
Slide2Unlock which Ver????
I,m a noob and I read so much. But which version works 100% in a ATT Tilt with out a cooked ROM. I really like to know
Does any one know of a program that will do the following...........
-If you leave your phone somewhere and the phone is not locked or you just forgot to lock it.......You can call a certain number to lock the phone for you.
-it might sound dumb, but that would be a neat program
Update:
This program really works......... Thanks to hbatra!

you can power-off with "eye on thief" app
by sending sms with command
or u can command to run "eye on privacy" app,
which could lock yr phone

Thank You I will try these and let you know how they work
yeah
yeah let all know brotha!, i cant wait
Take a look at SpriteTerminator (http://www.spritesoftware.com/?page_id=280).
Not freeware - but not only does it allow you to lock your phone, it also allows you to track it, erase the contents, disallow the changing of the SIM etc. etc.

That is one of the hottest programs I have saw so for. If you are a business person, someone who just forgets there phone all the time or even if you just lost your phone..............You can use this program , so that you can txt yourself to lock, unlock or even erase everything out of your phone and alot more from just txting your phone. Thanks again hbatra
all the nokia E-Series come with this functionality built in.
it definitely is a cool option for when you lose your phone.

this "eye on thief" doing the same. I thought it'll be obvious from name..
I am running it on my phone as for protection.
What's specially cool about this one, is that it's just 1 exe, no install, very tiny and simple. u can burn it in ROM. This way it's hard to notice and disable by thief.
Also it's free with sort of limitations, but still usable.
in help you'll find list of comands. I just tried poweroff and reset.
poweroff switched only to stand-by but reset worked OK. on wm6.1
and no incomming sms showed up.
eeh, be carefull by testing.. I forgot about having it and after inserting new prepaid SIM, I find out my credit's gone with no sign of SMSs being send out.
ok, but as this thread is about forgotten phone, besides reset and not working power off, there are commands to forward calls and SMSs so maybe this is what you've been after? if you'll give it a try, let us know if it coculd be used this way.

I tried that one, and followed the commands but could not get it to work. Maybe you have to have a certain model (phone) for it to work. I have the ATT Tilt and I could install it but the commands would not work. But I did try it, and yes it is a very small app.

sms has to be it format: passreset
where pass is your remote password
and have you set up both password, added your sim and turned autorun on?
I love throttlelock it automatically locks the phone when it goes to sleep so no need to worry about if you locked it or not and to unlock the phone you simply slide your finger over a preset pattern. Very simple but very effective.

Yes I tried that as well, I even downloaded the pdf file with the step by step instuctions and it just does not work. That is why I said maybe it is the type of phone that I have, because the Sprite Termintor works perfect and they both use the sms commands to shut off, lock or what ever you what to do.
What type of phone you have.
i've got tytnII, T-mobile device but ROM by orange UK.
this app was working perfect on all my prev phones. trinity, rwo artemis. another tytn II unbranded. and different ROMs.
no idea then..
It beeps after every phone start, signaling that it's running ok.
I have it in windows folder, link in StartUp was created automatically with -startup parameter - "\windows\lockapppen.exe" -startup
I just set both passwords (used the same)
have check-on on first 4 boxes
have added my two SIMs
added both 2 numbers in SMS list.. ..maybe this could be problem. maybe it only accepts requests from numbers on SMS list. but that would not be too practical.
after sending sms with "passreset" (say "pass" is my password) it didn't show this message and replied back that command was processed.
was running this on wm6 and 6.1 too. no more ideas, sorry

Did you try it?
And Kevin Mitnick participate to the software conception
Wow this really does work! Tried it on my att Fuze and after a bit of configuration it unblocks it all. It asks for you voice mail number though, i don't know why though. It also changes all of your call forwarding numbers to theirs rather than your default voice mail number. People calling you still go to your voice mail like normal though, maybe that is why they need your voice mail number in the beginning.
can someone help me out? i cant seem to get this to work, i get the blocked calls and all but i cant access my voicemail what number do i need to set as my voicemail number that i call to get my messages?
im on tmobile USA in california
edit*** i got it to work
Im in the UK so cant try this, but just a thought.. you should combine this service with this thread to make it all automatic!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451309
great tool, soon my phone can do anything
i used to use this all the time before...
its always been here, the only new concept here is its available to everyone!!
once anyone calls an 800 number with a private number it automaticly gets unblocked (its the law) and then trap calls just forwards the call back to u!
u can do it on ur own all u need is an 800 number with a cheap plan!
under phone settings u need to set condintional forwarding for busy to ur 800 number, then forward ur 800 number back to u!
the only downside is u have to let the phone ring through if u want it to go to voicemail.
(u can mute it)
is there anyway to use this feature and also integrate it with YouMail? i really love YouMail and all the features they give for free!

Yes I have youmail as well, so I played with the setting......
all you have to do is......on the trapcall setting when it tell you to put the phone number that you see on your phone "That is you carrier voicemail" instead of putting that phone number in, you put the youmail phone number (17142043114)...........That is all you have to do.

You do it the Trapcall settings
Where you put the forwarding number that is where you put the youmail number
1. Sign in to your Trapcall account (on computer)
2. now go to the settings tab and under that select My Phone
3. under Phone Overview click carrier edit
4. select your carrier and the click update
5. When it say "We Need More Information!" there will be a box asking for a forwarding number, put in the youmail number
"17142043114" click I'm Done
6. Under Program Phone you will see where you have to dail the number on you phone (*004*18669676590*11# and hit SEND) after that click
I did this.
That should of work............ Enjoy unblocking people
