Please let me know if anyone knows about such app.

TIA

Good question. I wish there can be something like this also. Here is what I do. In my contact, instead of putting the international phone number, I put in "xxx-xxx-xxxxw011-yy-yyyyyyyyy..".

xxx-xxx-xxxx is your calling card access number. "w" means wait. and "011-yy-yyy..." is the international phone number.

What this does is when you call your international contact, your phone calls the calling card number first. After the call connects, your phone waits you for further action (this is what that w does, it's essentially a hard pause). What you do next is to press the "talk" button. The phone then sends out 011-yy-yyyyyyy through the touch tone. You call will then be connected.

The shortcoming of this is that when you want to send a text message to your contact, you must enter the number manually, with the access number before the real international number, the SMS won't work directly from the contact list.
