Auto-dial extension in email on iPhone

I've seen how you can auto-dial extensions on the iPhone for contacts by inserting commas, etc. I'm trying to get the same functionality in appointments and emails. For example, for Blackberry users, I can type 866.252.0050 x1098022# and it will automatically dial the extension (or conf bridge ID) after the 866 number on queue from the user. I've tried 866.252.0050,,,1098022# and 866.252.0050pp1098022# in emails to the iPhone. It shows the entire string as dial-able (underlined and blue) and asks me if I want to dial it when I tap on it but then it doesn't do anything, just goes back to the email.
Here's the use case, we have people traveling all over the place and use conference bridges a lot. When they're walking, it is difficult to find something write the extension on. It would be much easier to provide them a way to automatically dial the extension.
Any suggestions or tips and tricks?

There is a great app to do this.
Dial My Meeting is an app that automatically extracts your conference call information from your meeting invitations, and dials them for you.  It has dialed over 50,000 numbers to date (July 2012) and is rated 5 stars in the App Store and Google Play.  This is a must-have app!
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • Auto signatures for multiple email accounts-iPhone

    I currently have both my personal and work emails accounts set up on my iPhone. I created an automatice signature which I want to use only on my work account, but it also shows on when I send an email from my personal account. Does anyone know how to use an automatic signature for only one account? Thanks!

    there's no fully automatic version available that I have found however there's an App called @Signature which allows you to create unique signatures for mail accounts or even have different signatures for the same account.
    All you have to remember is that when you create an email, you use the App rather than mail as it inserts the correct signature into a blank email created by Mail. It still defaults to one email account so its far form perfect but at least it stores the correct signatures.

  • Auto-complete for the email addresses in the mail app is not working

    Hi, could somebody kindly help, please?
    I have just got a new iphone 5s after my old 5 got broken. When I got the new 5s one I had to restore everything from the back-up copy I had on my ipad or in my icloud, whatever.
    The problem is that in the standard mail app which you have at the bottom of the screen auto-complete for the email addresses is not working on this new iphone. However, it still works on the ipad.
    Can I turn it on somewhere or is it a bug? I remember When my old iohone was new as well as the ipad and ipod, I did not have to turn on anything. The recent email addresses list (appears when one starts to type an address in the address bar when writing a new email message) appeared automatically. And on this phone it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't suggest me any recent or whichever email addresses and I am really lazy to type an address each time.
    Could this be solved?
    Many thanks in advance for the eventual help.

    I am also getting same problem...................anybody please help.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 5. How can I get a copy of Firefox 4. The new version does not work with Skype's auto dialer.

    How can I get a copy of the previous version of Firefox? The latest version (5) does not support Skype's auto dialer. I use this tool to be more productive.

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If they worked on Firefox 4, there is a good chance they will work on Firefox 5.
    You can force Firefox to ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox]
    After you install this add-on and restart Firefox, there will still be a message that "--- is incompatible with Firefox 5.0" but the add-on will be enabled and a Disable button will appear for that entry.
    Please report back on your results.

  • UC540 Auto Dial

    Hello everybody,
    We have setup a UC540 at a clients office, and now they are asking if we can setup a Auto Dialer, so they can put a bunch of phone numbers and the system will call those phone numbers and read a small script. Basically like have the system cold-call.
    Does anybody know how this can be done? or if there is a script that we can use? or any other way that this can be accomplished.
    All responses are appreciated

  • Auto dial not working

    Auto dial not working
    I'm using an iPad 4, with WiFi and Cellular and iOS 8.1.3
    In the past if I was searching for a hotel and found one I only had to tap on the phone number and it would dial using either Skype or MagicJack. It worked using Wi-Fi or my data plan. It was an absolutely valuable function especially when traveling.
    Now, when I click on a phone number, it says that it's going to exit the program (like Safari) and start a new program. When I click, Ok, nothing happens.
    I must have inadvertently changed some setting.
    Skype works, MagicJack works, but I must dial the number manually.
    I have tried turning "Handoff" off and on then rebooting, turning FaceTime off and on and rebooting (and every combination of those two programs and actions).
    To say the least, I am frustrated because it must be something obvious. (to everyone else!)
    Any ideas as to how to how I can get it to dial automatically again?
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • Can I turn OFF auto dialing?

    I have a new iPhone 3G 8gb. I am looking for a way to turn off the auto dial feature when you tap on a recent call, favorite, etc. I keep accidentally dialing people...would like to find a way to prevent that. I look forward to suggestions!! Thanks.

    There is not a way to do so except for not selecting a Favorite or a recent call. The Favorites option is designed for this very thing - a speed dial for the people you call most often, and select a recent call does the same.
    You can select on the far right - the area with the right facing arrow in a blue circle icon and the number will not be automatically dialed. This can be used to view the contact info for a favorite, or to add a recent call to the address book if not already entered.

  • FXS/Analog phone auto-dial when picked up?

    Hello.  UC540 862.  I have a door intercom i have patched into the phone system via FXS port (will not use FXO).  When the button is pressed on the door intercom, you get a dial tone over the speaker and the FXS port is open.   Is there a method to have it auto-dial an extension?   I've setup lobby phones that intercom a specific phone internally, but in this case, i need it to autodial a main hunt group- ext 101, which blasts 4 people.  Unfortunately the door unit does not have a dial-pad.
    Thanks in advance.

    didn't work but again - fxs port as it's not compatible with fxo port ..  (below readout).. trying connection plar 101.. maybe that'll work

  • Conductor auto dial issue

    I am running Conductor X2.3 and VCS X8.1.1, and I have ran into an issue with auto dial functionality.  A brief description of what I am experiencing is below:
    For example, I have a meeting alias, [email protected], which is configured to auto dial [email protected]  All search rules are correct in that an external endpoint can connect to [email protected], and in the Conductor event log, I see an entry to call [email protected]  But [email protected] is not connected to the conference.  Upon reviewing the MCU the conference resides on, I see a call attempt to a very long alpha-numeric URI with the management address listed rather than [email protected] 
    I have deleted the configurations and re-created from scratch, but still the same results.  I have disabled HTTPS to see if that would help matters, but no joy.  So now I am back the vanilla configuration, and posting here in the event someone else has experienced this issue and can provide guidance.

    Do you have your Conductor deployed exactly per the documentation?  Making sure the MCU is not directly registered at all to your VCS.  The reason you're seeing a long alpha-numeric call string is because that is the endpoint GUID within Conductor.  Conductor actually tells the MCU to dial the endpoint by going through itself which then sends the call to the VCS.
    Do you see anything in your VCS search rules regarding the "[email protected]" call attempt?  If so, can you paste the that search history here.  If you do not see anything in your VCS search history, than please explain how you have Conductor setup with your VCS, being as specific as possible (screenshots would work best).

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

    Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

    On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

  • When I send email from iphone, mail on my mac crashes every time.

    The latest in a string of issues I've had with Mountain Lion, and even more with Lion. This is the latest and most frustrating.
    Eveytime I send an email from iphone or ipad, mail on my macbook pro crashes. This happens everytime!
    Also, Safari is unusable as keeps crashing and hardly ever loads properly so moved to Chrome which works perfectly.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • TS3899 Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked against iPad setting which are OK and can send mail OK.

    Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked them against iPad settings which are OK and can send mail. What can I do?

    For IOS7.02
    The user name and password are in two places. Make  sure they are correct in both locations.

    First spot is here under INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Below this is OUTGOING MAIL SERVER

    Here is the second place that the user name and password must be checked.
    I had changed my password in the first spot, but not the second spot. I had been receiving the same error message. This fixed my problem.
