Try doing that for all the numbers in your contacts.
What is needed is
a program to load into your phone to automatically append the gateway number to the numbers in your contact list.
Maybe something like this?
Calling Card DiallerThank you for sharing.
Gee ! you are not going to do that to all your hundreds of phone contacts in one go are you

? It is absolutely unnecessary to key in the 1800 gateway to
ALL your contacts. The most frequently called numbers perhaps already registered in your FnF or Activ10 list. Usually Nitetone users will only save 1800 nitetone gateway to remaining balance of frequently called numbers which are not listed under FnF or Activ5 plan due to it's limitation. As for less frequently called numbers, Nitetone user can use "send DTMF from phone contacts" method as described in call options 3 in the 1st post.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1707511 . Another way is you only add in the 1800 gateway to one contact at a time only when you want to call that number.
When you mentioned a program to be installed in the phone, that's the end of it. It is not going to work on mass scale. First of all, you can't have one universal soft dialer that caters to all the phone's OS in the market ie iOS, Android, RIM, Symbian, WM, W7, etc etc. The soft dialer link you provided is limited to Symbian s60 3rd edition only and iPhone and android phone can't use it. Secondly, majority of phone users are still not tech savvy enough to self install the program into their phone even if we do have the app for all phone models.
For your information, there was one calling card company came out with "auto dialer sim sticker" that promised single click calling directly from phone book but received little response from the market because the auto dialer sim sticker requires an initial installation set up.
We need solution that can cater for all phone models, easy for every one and simple to understand by all. Therefore the current 3 calling methods adopted by Nitetone are the closest we can get to simplicity and ease of use for public at large.
