Send DTMF

[Guest TANKERx]

Now this is a piece of software built into all my Symbian phones and I would love to see it on my SPV also.

I subscribe to a UK company called Telco which allows me to call their 0800 number (which changes every now and again) and then dial the number of someone I want to call. This cuts my call costs dramatically, particularly when I'm out of free minutes.

On previous Nokia and Symbian phones, I can send DTMF straight from the address book and so I don't have to memorise anything, but on the SPV, I have to make a mental note of a number and keep that in my brain's short term RAM :-) to dial it when Telco asks me for the number I wish to dial.

Is there any software that will do that on the SPV? If not, why don't someone write it, I'd like it.

Hi Tanker

I am also in the same boat... If you do find a way please let me know.

I have a temp way. Say for example you girl your woman/wife everyday! you want to add this number to the Telco account. I found 1 Temp method.

Try this:-

Goto yr wife/woman's/partner number

goto edit

then in front of the number put yr access code (0800 594 1444 then press the * key untill u see letter on the top right hand side (abc) press the letter 'p' and then again so the number looks like this:-

0800594144pp016169696969 so when you send this number this will go through Telco also u can add this to yr speed dial (2).

Good luck

If you hav any other way you would like to share email me at [email protected]

Thanks

Why is the Pause/Wait system a temp solution? we've been using them for years in order to put the voicemail in our memory/contacts (when it asks for a password and stuff).

[Guest TANKERx]

I'd like it to be a temporary solution because;

a) Telco change the access number every now and again, and I'd hate to have to go through my contacts to edit them like this

;) It's not as elegant as solutions offered by other phones, even non-smart ones.

But thanks ndigbal for the reply :lol:

then press the * key untill u see letter on the top right hand side (abc) press the letter 'p'

Or you could just press menu > insert pause when you're still in "123" mode :lol:

Paul MVP has got a program that reformats all your outlook contacts (strips spaces and the initial 0, then adds +44), you could ask him nicely for a quick mod to add your telco number. You could then sync all your contacts back to the SPV.

I think the program is only available to Plus members but I could be wrong.
