Hi Sonia,
This by doing *7 are u trying to start a USSD session?

[sonia1986]

Thanks
No i m not using USSD session I only want to add '*' as a prefix with number..Is it possible?if yes then how?

[sonia1986]

Is series 60 doesn't support * as prefix..or it can be ppossible..

[grahamhughes]

Why do you want to prefix with a "*"??? Are you sure you don't want a "+"? ("+7" would be the prefix for a call to Russia, I believe.)

hello
its kind of voice sms application in which i want when user create call using platform request then it will add * before number..
Reply soon
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that, on your mobile network, you can dial "*7phone-number send", and get access to some service?

It sounds like S60 believes that a phone number must start with a digit or a "+", and that anything else is invalid.

But on my N95 I can directly dial using phone dailer *7(10 digit cell no) without any problem

There may be some code in the implementation of platformRequest() that performs an (erroneous) check.

Hmmm i believe Sonia you trying to make some app on *+number logic of calling for sending voice SMS, i think thats is used by airtel in India. Well Sonia as that format is not a standered i dont think it would be implemented in platformRequest(). So you cant do that. :-(

[im2amit]

Yes, it looks possible in Symbian it gives better control on Telephone.

Well it can be done on symbia, cause i have seen some app on this. dont remember its name.

[im2amit]

If your target is a S60 phones and you still want to do it with your Java program, you can develop a small Symbian server program that takes this request from your Java app and do it.
