cant sign up. how can we add a “pause” in the dialled number?
1234p9 is what I need to get it to work (both pressing w and p does nothing).
could make it more “finger” friendly.
apart from that My IDD Dialer seems to be something I would use.

Thanks for the feedback!
The input boxes currently only supports digits. I am not sure how to add pause within the dialing sequence.
I could relax the input to allow letters in the prefix input box & email to you…

Updated the dialer to include p & w in the prefix number.
Larger font size for the list items so as to be more “finger” friendly.

excellent update.
just another bug to bug you about. when you select type as “home”, none of the contacts are shown with a phone number.
The bigger font helps make it “finger” friendly but I was thinking more on the lines of something like 2 lines of text (like the contacts option). maybe even a “contacts” replacement so when I press the contact it asks which number to ring.
Its a nice simple piece of software.

Thanks Jono!
Fixed the missing home numbers.
Will add your suggestions soon!

Whoa!
Well done! I too use zone 1511 and get really annoyed having to copy the number, type in 1511 and then paste the number in.
Will definitely try out your application. Well done!

September 3rd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
It should work anywhere so long if the prefix number you entered is correct.
I am not sure of the IDD services in India.
You have to check the instructions of your respective IDD service.

Hi,
This is great feature for pocket pc because when I travel abroad I have to edit the contact that I wish to call to include my country code. but I have a problem, all my contacts numbers start with the national code (0) so is there any way to omit the (0) after adding the prefix so that the call is performed correctly
Thanks
September 7th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Thanks Abdullah,
That would need some modifications especially if the national code is in between your country code & actual number.
Will probably look into it after I come back from my 2-week holiday.
Cheers!

Thanks again for your quick response and appreciation.
Take your time and enjoy your holiday.

Amazing work man, i have been struggling with this for a long time. I lives in Hong kong and travel to china very frequent. I cannot dial a number without usually modifying it 1st. This is really a life saver for me.
Having your dialer meaning all my contact is dialable without much editing with the contact themself. Also skype and other program which requires correct numbers benifit from it too because contact from outlook is now dialable.
I still think a pop up dialog before the call is sent prompting for prefix would work better but this already rock.

Thanks for the kind feedback & comments, fellow “Jym”!

HI DEVELOPER (JYM, ISN’T IT?). IT WORKS WELL. I PUT THE SOME “P” FOR PAUSE AND IT DOESNT WORK CAUSE MY VOIP PROVIDER (I THIN) DONT ACCEPT EASELY THE SIGN “+” BUT I PUT THE “PPP” AND AFTHER THAT “00″ SO WORKS VERY WELL AFTHER
I MUST PUT A “00″ CAUSE MY CONTACT LIST (ALL) HAS “+” AND “COUNTRY CODE” FOR ALL THE CONTACT LIST, SO I PUT MY VOIP NATIONAL LANDLINE NUMBER “+34 91 XXX XX XX PPP 00″ AND AT LEAST IT WORKS PERFFECT WITH YOUR APP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK AND IF YOU WANT, SEND ME NEW UPDATES.
REGARDS.

Hi!
Is it anyway possible to insert a paus “p” in MyIDDdialer?
Plaese get back to me!
Regards Mathias
October 15th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Sorry… I found it in an earlier message.
But.. Why can’t you dial a number that’s not in the phonebook in this program?

The current version is based on the numbers within the conacts.
I am working on a version that allows changing of numbers just before dial and adding some of the suggestions listed earlier.
For example remove + or add ‘p’ or ‘w’ , so one can also key in a number not listed in the contacts inside the editable textbox.

Hi Abdullah,
Thanks for feedback.
To quickly resolve:
1. Go straight to the MyIDDs tab page
2. Enter “IDD name” and “Prefix No.”
3. Enter a few more if you have different providers.
4. Set one of the IDD rows as default (it makes the row appear as red)
Once you’ve done that, that error should not appear.
It was careless of me to NOT test it without prefixes defined.
Will release a new revision soon!
Cheers!

Hi Jym
As a road warrior – I find your software incredibly useful. I use it on the 2nd phone which has a local SIM hence, hence the MyIDDs feature is perfect.
However – i find the the virtual keypad popping up quite irritating- as it blocks the screen and I dont use it.
With Thanks and Appreciation

Jym,
I have been trying to have your app working for a while now. It looks like something I would often use to call back home (to Europe), but I can’t make it work.
I’m in the US at AT&T and I have an HTC Touch Pro with Win 6.1 on it. I also have a dialup number from a calling card.
If I dial “[US # of calling card]-p-011-[Europian #]-#” in on my phone it works like a charm (e.g. xxx-xxx-xxxx-p-011-yy-yy-yyy-yyyy), but if I define “[US # of calling card]-p-011″ as a prefix, select the contact to be the “[Europian #]” and then add the “#” manually (essentially obtaining the same alphanumerical sequence) it does not work.
When I hit “Dial” it seems that anything starting from the “p” does not actually get dialed.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
J

Janos,
Quite a number of users managed to use p within their dialing numbers.
Please try saving the prefix with dashes ( “-” ).
September 17th, 2009 at 6:59 am
Jym,
Thanks for the quick response, in the meantime I gave up, and thought I would just need to suck it up and either remember numbers when dialing or save frequent ones with the IDD added to it…
It seems that when I dial on the phone and press “*” twice and get a “p” instead is not the “p” that I add to numbers, because if I try calling savesd numbers that are in the format “IDD + p + PHONE” anything starting from p gets cut off by the phone.
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
Janos

it is a great software that works in my WM6.5 (Acer NeoTouch), thx you very much. but I have little comment:
1) my screen is 480×800, it does not use my full screen, looks like it only use 480×640, of course it is best if it is auto scale to diff screen resolution;
2) I see it shows 4 tel no. (home/mobile/company/business), it is this max. capacity of it? or it could show more if there exists more about that particular contact?
3) on “numbers” page, it only has 1 “Dial” button and show default IDD prefix, I suggest it would better if it shows a list box of IDD prefix set, and it highlighted the default one, user could select another one in the list box and click dial;
4) I install the v1.5.3, but “about” only shows “v1.5″, it could better show more information like auther, official site, version, release date, changelog, etc.
5) it is nice to also support also the call history, not only contact list
anyway, it is already a great software that helps me a lot, otherwise my windows mobile is more like a “stupid” phone than a “smart” phone.
thx. you.

Hi WorldinMatrix,
Thanks for the feedback & suggestions. It has been a while since I look at this software. Due to other commitments I won’t be able to enhance it. Thanks once again.
Merry Xmas

Hi Edward,
This is what I am looking for. I have not tested the software, but it looks like If I set up the application I will ALWAYS call through with the prefix.
I am more looking for an app, that dials through with a predefined prefix, but only if I want so.
prefix 1st number 44888 -> *1*
prefix 2nd number 44885 -> *2*
If I use the assigned number, I will dial with these prefixes, if not I just dial normally out. That would be cool.
