Question How can I paste a contact while dialing?

Hi,

sometimes I want to dial a code and append a phone number of a stored contact.

Result should be like this (only example):

#31#phonenumber


But when I type #31# there is no way to insert a stored phone number.

What can I do? Thx for help.

I am surprised - from my point of view it is a very basic feature of mobile phones.

There is no hint or soluion?
Nobody else with this issue?

I remember that

You could use VITO copy paste to solve this problem.

Thanks for the first reply .

have read about your recommendation. Using VITO copy paste requires follwing steps (if it works in the dialer of TouchFlo):
- Open a contact
- Click to edit the contact (to get an textfield)
- Copy the number
- Open the dialer
- Write the code
- Paste the number

Hmm, no easy way to choose a contact directly from the input field of the dialer?

Hmm, Than im afraid cant help you further..

Alternatively you could manually hide it ( Start/Settings/Phone )

But i think thats common knowledge for you

However, there does not seem to be a chance to use this basic feature.

I asked once more in Rhodium forum and got a very good tool as workaround:
