Hello everyone,
What I have now:
Somebody calling to my mobile phone, for example with a number:
+19701112233
We are speaking, that the caller asking me about call him back. We're disconnecting.
I'm going to phone calls menu find his number, push "Edit and Call" option. Add * symbol at the end of his number and push call button.
So I'm calling to +19701112233* (yes with * at the end of the number).
How to automize this stuff, when I push to call somebody back, how to add * at the end of the number automatically?
Thx, for any help. I may pay for this stuff, thx.

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.
UPDATE:
I figured it out:
I have to enter *72 and the number to forward THEN press "Send"..
My bad.. Mod, you can delete this thread if you want to..
I have HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon and I do have a "Call Forwarding" feature on my phone. According to Verizon, all I need to do is the steps listed below to complete the Call Forwarding.
However, when I dialed *72, the message stated that "...this feature cannot be updated"
Anyone experiences the same error or have insight on how to do call forwarding? I am wondering if this is a setting in Android or something.
To Activate:
Press *72.
Enter the phone number where you want calls to be forwarded. (e.g. *72-908-123-4567).
Press SEND and wait for confirmation. You should hear a confirmation tone or a message.
Press END.
To Deactivate:
Press *73.
Press SEND and wait for confirmation. You should hear a confirmation tone or a message.
Press END.
hi,
i'm annoyed with two features that are missing in the native dialer on ICS.
1. While swapping calls it always asks for holding previous call or to end it. I can't simply switch to another call keeping on hold the other one.
2. If we type any number during call in the dialer, it just vanishes after the call ends! Its normally needed when you take down a number from someone to dial later
any workarounds?

No workaround for 1.
But a suggestion for 2.:
When in a phone call, just push the Home button and open a note/text editor app.
Then make your notes for later use.
Continue your phone call ... multi-tasking !
Hello,
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II running the stock verizon rom with a Straight Talk AT&T Sim card. When someone calls me the call log shows the number with a + in front of it, i.e. "+999-888-7777". If I select that number to call it back I get a voice prompt that says "Your call cannot be completed as dialed, please try again". I discovered that if I dial the number either without the + symbol (i.e. "999-888-7777") or if I dial the number with +1 (i.e. "+1-999-888-7777") then the call goes through fine.
Because of this issue I cannot use the call log on my phone to call numbers back and when my contacts call me the caller ID doesn't show the contact because I don't have the contact numbers stored with a + in front of them. Can this be fixed? I tried calling straight talk and was basically told they don't know what's going on and they can't do anything about it.
I have a very minor issue, but one that I'd like to solve, if possible. Here's the scenario:
My wife calls me from her work line, and the caller number shows her company's general line - (212) 555-1000. If I go into the dialer and dial it back, I get an operator.
However, she does have a direct extension, (212) 555-1010 - both numbers are under her contact (so I can quickly see that it's her calling). If I miss a call from her, I simply remember to go into the contact and choose the direct number instead of the main number.
What I'd like to know is if there is a way to tell Android when I try to dial "main number" under contact "wife," I really mean "direct number."
I doubt there is a way to do this as it's probably a security issue, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Any ideas?

You can use Tasker to create a profile for this situation
Install Tasker
set Tasker as a device admin:
Settings --> Security --> Device administrators --> Tasker
then in tasker create a new profile:
(+) --> Event --> Phone --> Missed Call
when prompted to enter a caller # hit the magnifying glass --> A Single Contact --> Choose the contact number for your wife's "main number"
then click on the back key and ---> New task (add a name to the task - optional)
now add an action to the task:
(+) ---> Phone ---> Call
When prompted to enter a Number to call, hit the magnifying glass and choose your wife's "direct number"
don't select the Auto Dial option. Then hit the back key twice till you are in the main menu of tasker.
Now every time your phone get a missed call from that "main number", you'll be prompted to call back the "direct number" when unlocking phone.
Just delete the main number form your contact. Then the only option to dial is the direct number..
