voip dialing

[makaveli86]

anyone here using voip service integrated with WM6 and is having to dial 001 (depending on your country) and then their number? i've combed through numerous threads on editing files to get this fixed so it dials it for you, but i cant seem to get it done...failing on all sorts of levels, from what i read, i'm not the only one so was wondering if anyone could offer some sort of help. any help would be appreciated, and if it ends up working i might even pay you for your time (thats how frustrated i am)

yes, its annoying.

I have to dial all numbers (from/to the Netherlands) as 0031<number>.

Even more annoying is the fact that all my contacts are stored in the format +31<number) so I have to change them or dial them by hand each time.

I guess no one has a solution.:mad:

I've been saving my numbers in international form for so long it took me a while to understand what you meant :D

There used to be a vbscript for Outlook to do this (so you could sync your contacts to Outlook, and the script would add +<countrycode> to the numbers that don't already have it), but I can't remember the name. Wouldn't be a huge job to do by hand, though, unless you have several hundreds of contacts

well i have about 100...dont mind doing it by hand if need be, but wont that lead to complications whne using the phone with my network service. think numbers dialed with 001 on local calls through regular network services (my normal cell phone provider) wont work....

lol hope that made some sense... :D

has to be away around this, so that when using voip service, 001 is added, and when not using voip service its removed

If I dial a number 003164637....... it works ok, if I dial from outlook as +31 (64) 637...... it also works when using the GSM network.

VOIP will only work if I dial 003164637.... It does not like the + and () characters.

If I enter a number in Outlook as 0031 (64) 637.... then outlook will remove the leading 00, I can only store the numbers in outlook if they are stored like 003164637.... with no spaces. So not only do I need to remove the + I also have to remove the brackets and spaces!

you could export the outlook contacts as a csv file, edit it (find + replace feature) import back to outlook and finally do a phone sync....

problem i see with that is when i do import it back, all my contacts would be replaced with a 001 in front of it. but when on my gsm network, 001 will not be dialed (since i believe that stands for an exit code). so what all of us need i believe is to set it so that it automatically dials 001 (or 0031 ;)) when using voip, but not dialed when using gsm network.
