dialDTMF is a utility that sends vocal frequencies corresponding to telephone dial tones through your Pocket PC's loudspeaker. The program appears as an option in the contextual menu of Contacts. When the contact is chosen and the option selected, you only have to place the telephone next to the speaker of the Pocket PC and the number is dialed. Features:
- Free!
- Plugin to built-in Microsoft Contacts application.
- Works on basic Pocket PC 2000 devices all the way up to WM5 devices.
- Can be operated with one hand on most devices.
- Doesn't freak out on a landscape rotation (it uses a really small window size).
- Dials the FULL number that needs dialing based on the current location (can be used with a calling card if out on the road).
- Uses WAV files for tones so if you have a good phone short tones can be used (quicker to dial, potentially unreliable). Alternatively if your phone isn't great longer tones can be used which are more reliable (at the expense of dialing speed).
- Configurable pause between each tone played (registry setting SoftwareAppsdialDTMFtonedelay), default 100 millisecs. You need a registry editor to set this parameter.
- Supports pauses whilst dialing (e.g. for calling cards) by using a comma (",") to pause for 1 second (use two commas ",," for 2 seconds, etc.)
- Supports normal numerics 0-9, "#" (hash or pound depending on which country you are in), and "*" (star/asterix). The extended A,B,C,D "digits" are NOT supported (I've never had call for them).
- Source/project code available. If you are missing a feature you can add it.
