prepend program

[timdawgdentist]

It would be cool if you could bring up someones number. In the contacts list. Then have an option in the menu let say it said prepend. Then it gives you options. *67 to block. *82 to unblock. Also add extra 1 so it goes directly to voicemail. Handy little feature. I would think


something to marinate on.

I'd love a program to prepend the 1 and local area code to any # dialed that didn't already include the 1 and/or an area code.

Example:

In northern IL (as many areas) you need to dial 11 digits to place any call. i.e. you call your neighbor (same area code) and you need to include the area code to place the call.

Now I call many people only once from my cell.

So, I don't want to add them to my phones contacts.

And about 90% of them are from the same area code as me.

I would love my cell to prepend the 1 on every call if I didn't dial it, and the same thing with my area code (if it is some other area code I would have to dial it, and that would supercede the prepend).

With this I could go back to 7 digit dialing!!!

My old palm 7135 had this and I loved it..

I have been looking for the same type of program/hack for my Touch. I have been looking all over and no luck . Looks like several people are looking for the same type of thing because there has bee several hits on my request over here:

No one has answered with a solution yet. I still have my fingers crossed as this is something that I really miss from my other phones.

If someone finds something that might work please pm me.

Thanks!

Hello,

I recently found a couple of programs that will kind of do what I am looking for. I am not able to prepend a number that is either a missed call or a recent call. 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....

Hope this can help someone else out.
