prefixing numbers for cheap calls

[marclouis]

on our wizards, how do we stick in prefix numbers to get cheaper (or free) calls, see here, pocket pc's are ignored

i tried spaces, commas and "p"

there must be a way. it would be really cool if you didnt need could choose which prefix number at any given time of day, as some of these numbers only work mon-friday and you need another number weekends.

there is a "calling card" feature on windows when using a dialup modem connection? something like that maybe

Use two commas between the numbers. I use this method all the times to store my calling card prefix access number, then the PIN, and finally my destination number.
For example, for my mum number (oversea), in her contact, I will use the Office field for this purpose (Home and Mobile) are her real numbers.
In the Office field, I will put as followed:
1800xxxxxx,,xxxxxxxxxx,,011xxxxxxxxxxxx
Access Number,,PIN number,,phone number to dial

When you hit that entry, it will dial, then pause, then submit the next numbers. I succesfully use this method in Windows Mobile 2003 SE (Wallaby) and in WM5 (Universal).

thanks, spot on.

so easy, i guess one comma is just not enough pause.

any idea how get around having multiple numbers, as these numbers only work while you are in the UK, go to france which i do a lot and they wont work.

i figured having 2 different contact groups in outlook and switching them? any idea?

Just use the unused field in your contact entry.
There are so many entries you can use....
Business has several fields... business 1, business 2, etc.
Home has several fields, home 1, home 2, home 3...
Radio...
Fax...
Telex..
Assistants...
etc..
