As you might know giffgaff credit balance checks are all done via MMI codes. I'm currently using LauncherPro and wanted to know how to put a shortcut in place to run certain MMI codes at the touch of an icon.
Is it possible and if so how can it be done?
Many thanks (new here).
Found the solution. Just made a shortcut to direct dial by saving the MMI code as one of my contacts.

Hi guys... coming from the PalmOS world, there's still some things I need to figure out on this marvelous WM6 world
Is there an app that lets me use a Calling Card type of call? On PalmOS I had an app called TakePhone that would allow me to specify a certain dialing mask to match and then it would dial my calling card platform (as my Caller ID is authenticated, no need to dial a PIN) and then prompt me to dial the destination number I had selected. Is there a way or an app to do this on WM6?
Thanks!
Check sunnysoft.com
It is a nice app btw, although at first you will be confused how it works
But once you understood, it works fine in HTC Kaiser and very nice.
Other cheap solution is to combine the phone numbers using the contact manager.
So, for example, create this contact:
"Calling Card - John"
<ccphonenumber>ppp<johnphonenumber>
Like this: 09002345ppp004976217621
The ppp = delay delay delay
I am not sure if that works, but I got that trick from here:

Thanks, will check that out.
There must be some good solution out there.
Adding the commas and all that is fine for a few contacts, but doing this for all your international numbers or on the fly numbers is sincerely a p.i.t.a.
Had a check through the search but didn't find anythging relating to my minor problem.
I have set up 2 contacts and asigned them to speed dials to activate and another to deactivate call forwarding and this works fine through the phone applet. However, when I try and asign the same codes to a third party app, like the favourite contacts tab in HTC home, the speed dial will not work and returns an error mentioning signal or incorrect number.
The codes I use are
**21* number # to activate
##21# to deactivate
Could it be that these GSM codes are not recognised through the third party apps?
Its not a huge problem but I am curious as to why it doesn't work - I also tried with voice dial but the same error comes back.
Anyone with a similar problem of fix for this?
I am on o2 with stock WM6.1 Rom.
Hey guys, just curious if anybody has this successfully running?
While the official app works, I keep getting a message when i try to dial from the GV app; 'connection error or invalid mmi code'.
Attempting to remedy the situation, I dialed '*9' in the regular dialer, but same issue.
Can anybody verify that Hero phones can or cannot display a correct mmi code by dialing *9?
I am on T-mobile US, btw.
Thanks.
ok dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me
add comma (,) in the end of the code
example:
*100*2# into *100*2#,
works for me
I've been asking around and nobody seems to know how to dial a number such as 332211. Using a Captivate. When I use the straight dial number it always puts a "-" in the middle 332-211 so the call won't go through. That number is what they call a short code. It's for text messages. I noticed even tv stations have them so you can get text messages about incidents etc.
Thanks

Did you try creating a new contact? Did you try putting *#*# before the number and #*#* after the number?
Thank you for the reply so fast gtg465x. I have tryed the contact create, didn't work. I tryed your *# but when I get to the last #* the phone goes blank. If I hit send the phone goes to the contact list.
like you said its a text message code... like 466453 for texting google...
You need to use your messaging app. not your dialer.
Phone numbers in the US are 7 digits (+area code) not 6.
Use the dialer to make phone calls and the Messaging app for sms texts.
There are also short codes for accessing various settings in the phone that you can enter into the dialer, but those are almost always surrounded by *# like *#06# which will display your IMEI
Hi pietro_spina - Ok that makes sense. However, I don't have a texting service on my phone. I'm trying to use GoogleVoice for texting. After a short search it appears Google isn't set up to let us use 6 digit codes. I tryed it and it doesn't go through. I will keep searching.
Thanks for the answer

If you use the google voice widget (select the text icon... It looks like paper) I have sucess using googles own six digit code. It cant be an empty message though.
The voice widget is part of the google voice app in the market.

When you go to google voice then submenu top left is a peice of paper with a pencil on it. Below it says "compose". Is that the one you are talking about? If so I've tryed it and it doesn't work. I did see in one of the reads something about the phone needs to be sms enabled. I wonder if the Captivate can't do it?
It works for me. I dont know what else to say.
I only know one short code. Google search... 466453 put that in the "to" field and as your message type "help" and google will text back some instructions.
Maybe post the short code you are trying to use? Is it some sort of pay code? Google voice might block that sort of thing.
Good Morning pietro_spina - I tryed your 466453 and it worked. It did list as 466-453 in the return message. The one I've been trying is BestBuy 332211 with text of GAMER and it won't go through. Google says error in sent message.
Sorry dude. I guess if they don't have any info about that sort of thing in the google help pages, then you are out of luck I guess.
I am on Overcome 1.6.1 and i have this issue with the contacts.
when someone calls me, say John 98765432 his name will appear if i save his contact according as John 98765432. but when he smses me, his name will not appear when i use ChompSms(3rd party sms application), his number with the country code +65 98765432 will appear instead.
if i save his number with the country code, the opposite occurs. when he calls i can't see his name but when he sms i can see his name.
anyone with the same problem?
same issue on htc desire and no proper fix till now!! that's amazing!
