Alternative line service (ALS)

[snyfer]

Hi,

Does somebody have an idea if there is an existing patch for the telephony part of Hermes300 to support Alternative line service (ALS). This service is used by some providers to put trough two different numbers to ONE sim card. At Nokia mobilephones you can usually switch with the "#" key betweend 1st line and 2nd line. But on the Hermes I couldn't find anything like that?

I would be very gratefull for each comment on that!

Regards,

Known as Line 2 on Orange UK. I'd be interested about this too...

I was told by a few HTC reps that they were aware of this issue and it should be fixed in the next ROM update. This was last year Septmember. I do not know if this has been fixed in the latest 2.0X ROM that have appeared in the last week or so. Anybody want to give it a try?... OK, I'll be first then. ;)

Wam7 - can you tell us the HTC reps you've got this information about their awareness of this issue. - Can you give us a link to the ROM Update you were talking about?

I asked HTC support today and they told me:
"The HTC TyTN does not support Line 2, so you will be unable to make use of this function on the device."
and
"At present there are no plans to enable this in a ROM update.? This may be a future update but we cannot confirm that."

Does anybody else need this feature or does anybody have the slightest idea of how this can be implemented?

Sorry I did not take a name though they were definitely aware of the problem and said it was one of the two main problems they wanted fix on the phone - the other being bluetooth related. They even told me that using a 64k Sim that the phone would make calls from Line2 though in coming calls had to be on Line1. This is exactly the way it used to work in my phone.

The ROM I'm refering to is the Cingular 2.06 one, which at this moment as I type still available on via the WIKI. Have not had time to try it yet but I have my doubts it will work, but nothing beats knowing for sure.
