HTC Touch and Prepend

b727pilot · #1 (**permalink**) 08-28-2008, 01:56 AM

Hello,

First time poster long time reader (even though I just signed up last month). I could not find the answer anywhere.

How do you prepend with the HTC Touch. I use *67, *82 and 11 (to go directly to voicemail) and can't find this option on my touch. I had a A900 before this and my wife has a Razr and they both have this option to select prepend and add the above to the number and dial it. I have looked but can't find a way to do it.

I was looking at a way to do this from either missed calls or recent calls or anywhere other then having to reenter the entire number. I figured since my other "non-smart" phone had it then this "smart" phone would also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I didn't see that anyone has an answer to my question/problem. I did find out that I can prepend but just not like on my other phones. If you know the phone number and deselect smartdialing it will work by manually entering in the numbers i.e. *67 123-456-7890.

I was just looking for a way to do it if I did not have the phone number memorized. Which is the case in about 99% of the numbers in my phone book. Amazing about 5 years ago I knew everyones phone number and now with cell phones and phone books I never remember anyones.

If someone has any type of workaround for me I would be eternally greatfull. I would think there would be some type of hack or program out there to make the phone do this. Please let me know.......

Last ditch effort. Is this something that is not possible??? I see no one has posted any answers or possible solutions. Am I stuck here?

Even if it is a program that I would need to get to make this work.

prepending a number seems like such a simple function, even my 10 year old Nokias had it.... very disappointing that you can't prepend easily

You can only use with numbers stored in contacts. Unless someone has some ideas on how to tweak. The programs I found in case anyone else is interested is....

I have looked all over and have not found one yet. Yea I am pretty disappointed also. Seems like such an easy thing to do and every other phone (from the cheapest on up) has it except for the "smart phones". Go figure.

If you find something else or something that might work better then the ones I posted above, please post it here to help everyone out.

Thanks,
