Using contacts to Dial phone numbers

Postby Richard » Sat, 25 Sep 2004 05:01:57 GMT

I am trying to use my contacts list to actually dial phone 
numbers (rather than using the phone's keypad).
It works fine with straightforward numbers (after I add a 
phone cable to the phone socket !).

However as soon as I add a 'pause' to the number string 
(using a comma) it causes Outlook to think I want to dial 
an Internet number. I want to add a pause so that I can 
put a calling card in the dial sequence.

So my question is:

Does anyone know how to add a pause to a number in 
Contacts or Personal Address Book so that the Dial button 
can be used to dial the number on a regular phone line ?

1.Cannot dial international phone number using calling card w softph

I am using a calling card to dial international number. It
works fine when I used with internal modem. But when I
switch the line to softphone. It complains that -
"The specified number either contain characters that are not
valid or is not formatted correctly"

The number I have in outlook is of this format
+91 (123) 456-7890

When I open the Phone and Modem options via the Dialing
Properties button, I see the following at the bottom
1 8880987654 91 1234567890
This works with Modem but not with Softphone. Other direct
dialed(not via calling card) works fine with softphone..

Have tried it on Win2000/Xp Outlook 2002/2003. Its the same
problem. 

Thanks,
Rajiv

2.Contacts Won't Dial Phone Numbers

I'm using Outlook 2003 (full version, not Express) with Windows XP. Recently 
switched from dial-up to DSL. With dial-up, I could select a contact, 
activate a line on the telephone, then use the phone icon on the standard 
toolbar to dial any of the numbers appearing in the drop-down list.

With DSL, this automatic dialing feature no longer works, although I am able 
to dial a number manually on the same phone line. Any suggestions? 


3.how do I dial outlook contacts using my cell phone

I'd like to dial a contact from Outlook through my bluetooth-connected cell 
phone and talk using my laptop's microphone (or else using the cell phone 
itself,once the call has been picked up at the other end.) Is this possible? 
How do I do it?

Thank you.

5.Contact Phone Number & account Phone number

Hi,

Each Contact I have is linked to an Account, and some of Contact phone/fax 
numbers are identitical to the Account phone & fax number.

Is there a way under the Phone Numbers fields, I could linked the number to 
the Account phone/fax number? So that when I look at the Business Contacts, 
the number would show up?

Regards
