I have tried to look for answers on this, and tried a few dialers, but does anyone have a solution to a very simple problem: for example
when I have a conference call, you dial a 800 number, then put in the conference code, which could be 9 digits, in the iPhone you can
copy and paste into the dialer, but I havent been able to do that in Android. Quite annoying, but I have to remember the different codes for 3 different conference calls we have weekly!

On my old Motorola T720 I could receive SMS messages just like the ones I get on my SX56 Pocket PC.
However, when reading an SMS Message that contained a phone number to call, I could simply hit the DIAL (or OFFHOOK key) and it would dial the telephone number found in the body of the SMS Message. If there was more than one telephone number found, it would let me choose which one to dial.
Can this be done on the SX56?
Whenever I try it, it attempts to dial the number that the SMS Message came from (which, in most cases, is from "+8000" ...a 'page' from my office, providing me a clients name and number to call.) INSTEAD of the number found in the body of the message.
Thanks!
Up to my information, it is not included as OS feature. This can be found only on real phones (Nokia, Motorola, ...). Seems that Micrsoft doesn't realize yet that these devices CAN be used as phones!! :?
May be in WM 2006 :wink:
Hello,
I'm facing the following problem: My Android based (Gingerbread) smartphone has a number of contacts with several phone numbers (home, work, mobile etc.) for each. When I call a contact the call goes through the mobile operator and I'm charged for the call by him.
I also have an an Asterisk-based PBX with a FCT (Fixed Cellular Terminal, or GSM Dialer or Fixed Wireless Terminal) connected to a VOIP provider that charges much less. If I prefix a phone number in Contacts with a fixed string (containing the mobile number to the SIM card in the FCT, plus some pause, plus the password to access the PBX's dial tone plus a bit more of pause) it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a way to have this standard prefix string stored somewhere and it be automatically padded at the beginning of each number dialed. Ideally, when dialing a contact I would be asked if I wanted to call with or without the standard prefix.
Is that doable?
All help is very much appreciated.

After further searching I've come across an app found on Android Market called Prefixer, by 253below.com. It does everything I want and much more. Maybe this info will help some one else looking for this.
Hello
I need a little help please...
i have configured the follow rule für incoming calls:
When numbers matches:
\+49535111222.*
remove characters:
\+49535111
Add number to call log:
prefixer number
other preferences are default.
i will like to see the 222 at a incoming call on the calling sreen, but i dont see it.
In the call log is the correct number 222, but dont on the calling sreen, there is only the android calling number with all caracters

Hi Tobi,
I'm afraid I can't help with your problem as I've only used Prefixer for padding a prefix to outgoing calls, according to filters. However, they have a forum running at the developer's site (253below.com) and you should be able to have your questions replied there.
I've tried searching, but haven't found an answer, so here we go,
when I use the voice dialer to call someone that's already in my phonebook, it dials and calls properly, but if I try to call a place such as autozone or any other business by just saying, "call autozone," it finds the number and tries to call it but it puts a + in front of the phone number and never goes through. I have to end the attempt at calling and go back and edit the number to remove the + from it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm running cm7x2 and haven't changed any performance settings.
Thanks, Curt
EDIT: it works now after a couple resets and sbfs later
I recently rooted my HTC One (m7) and I'm now running ViperOne 7.0.1. I do a lot of conference calls throughout the day and use the app MobileDay to automatically dial the number and conference code. It extracts the 800 number and the PIN conference code from the invitation and separates them by commas (pauses) and dials something like 1-800-555-5555,,,12345.
Since rooting, I've noticed that it dials the conference code (i.e. 12345 after the pause) too fast for each numbers to be registered. I then have to manually enter the PIN. These codes can be 4 to 10 digits long so I have to quickly memorize them and sometimes input them while driving. Clearly this isn't ideal. There is generally no problem dialing the call in number. The only issue is with the pin code. I had this problem when I had CM11 installed as well.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a suggestion as to how I might be able to "tweak" the dialer settings?

No help huh?
I'm not familiar with the app but am fairly solid at troubleshooting. It's hard to think it's an issue with root or a custom rom if it happens on both Sense and CM, being that they are very different, yet the app still has the same issue. Have you tried uninstalling that version and possibly finding an older version of the app to see if it exhibits the same behaviors?
Yeah I have the same issue on CM 12.1
For me, it seems to lose the last few digits of the conference code -- This is pretty infurating
This is a weird one happening on my Dad's phone. He and I both have S3s and his will not correctly call numbers back on his missed calls. I have checked and only on his missed calls the phone for whatever reason is not affixing a number '1' before the area codes. This causes the phone to dial the numbers as international numbers on the callback. He can still dial normally from his address book and and can even call back numbers in his recent listing that weren't missed just fine. The issue is solely with those calls that were missed.
I have scoured the web for hours and cannot find anyone else who had this problem. What could be causing it?
