CCDialer v1.5
CallingCard Dialer application for Microsoft Smartphones.
This application has be UPDATED. Check out CCDialer v2.0. It integrates with Pocket Contacts.
Tired of punching in the Calling Card Number + PIN + Contact Number. Here's the solution. The application stores the Calling Card numbers and your Contacts. Next time you have to call your "Long Distance" contact, all you have to do is launch this application, select the contact and the calling card to use. The application will then dial the calling card number, supply the pin and also dial the contact.
Select the Contact and Calling Card.     Press Dial.
Wrote this application when I got my Microsoft Smartphone mid last year. Was missing the Sony Ericsson T68i Calling Card feature on this phone, so decided to write a calling card application. Also didnt like some of the suggestions regarding storing a concatenated version of calling card number + pin + phone number in an unused Outlook field. Changing PIN number or Calling Card number was tedious. This application concatenates the numbers and uses the Pause technique to dial the numbers.       Version 1.0 had the contact and calling information hardcoded in the application. Version 1.5 reads this information from a TXT file. If there is a demand for this application then I will integrate it with Pocket Contacts, so that every Contact in your address book is accessible from this application.       This application is not perfect, but once its configured, it works great!
