Has anyone played with this?
Here's the link:

It demonstrates how to create an application that allows a user to make a calling-card phone call directly from the Contacts screen.

Which sounds exactly like what a lot of people are looking for.
I tried to installing the SDK but it needs Visual Studio 2005 and I'm not ready to uninstall my VS 2003 yet. :cry:

I finally got around doing this. Works pretty nicely. Here's the cab file.

Make sure you change these registry settings  and reboot before using it:

Registry settings

The calling-card registry settings are automatically provisioned by the CAB file. They are stored under the following registry key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CallingCard

There are four values under this key:

Number
    [REG_SZ] The calling-card phone number.
Pin
    [REG_SZ] The calling-card Personal Identification Number (PIN). This must be a numeric value.
Pause1
    [REG_DWORD] The number of pauses between connecting to the calling-card service and the prompt for the PIN. Each pause is about two seconds long. A value of zero indicates that the phone application will wait for you to press Talk before sending the PIN.
Pause2
    [REG_DWORD] The number of pauses between inputting the PIN and the prompt for the number being dialed. Each pause is about two seconds long. A value of zero indicates that the phone application will wait for you to press Talk before sending the PIN.

Here is the problem I have with this CAB. When used with GoogleMaps ... they interfere with each other. 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

Hey will this works for windows mobile 6.0?

Besides the registry tweaks is there anything else that I'd need to do? If I dial a contact from the contacts list, will it automatically dial this calling card number?
