As we are on XP, Office97, OL2000 and Exchange Server 2000, if they did have upgrade plans it wouldn't be to anything recent....

Sounds like you will have to wait for the servers or Exchange to upgrade - The only reason you have OL2000 will be because the Exchange 2000 CAL (mailbox licence) includes the installation of OL2000.

Hi, not sure if I'm in the right thread
I do some long distance calls via a VOIP provider, now one way to do it is by calling a local nuber in the U.K. entering the international number I need to dial and I get through.
the best way that was suggested is by entering the local number plus a pause the the international number I get connected. easy. im using p as a pause for the O2 Orbit II. however
Using Outlook 2003's contacts, when I wirte down the whole loacal number plus p plus the international number as the below example:

00118123456789p009998881622523 outlook saves it with a space before the pause (p) as:
00118123456789 p009998881622523
the VOIP service does not recognise this, how can I overcome this please?

Try using a comma (,) instead.

Let us know if it works

TonyBro, I tried a comma, I even tried a wait command but it seems that Outlook 2003 dosent like AT commands, strange when WM6 accepts it but Outlook 2003 doesn't, especially when they are both Microsoft. I think its a Major problem because search via Google many people have had the same problem and there seems to be no practical solution.

P.S. I lost the rubber ring on the wheel of my O2 XDA Orbit II.

Zappy,

That does suprise me as I used to have a work voicemail system in my last job that I needed to access from my device. It required a PIN and the pause mechanism I used was definitely a comma (I've just checked my archived contacts and there it was with a comma in.

You can have more than one comma if the gap isn't big enough.

Tonybro, It worked! , it seems that the + sign in the begining before the 44 located after the actual dial number was the problem. I removed all + and exchanged them to 00 now it works even when there is a space before the p. the , also works, thanks tonybro.
