Dialing a Phone Number in a Calendar Entry

I give myself reminders in my calendar to call this person or that business; however, I am surprised that when I enter the phone number in the calendar event (I happen to sync up with Google Calendar) I cannot tap on said phone number to begin a phone call. Is this truly a limitation or am I doing something wrong?

I will give Apple no excuse whatsoever on this point. Firstly, my Blackberry phones (2 curves and a bold) allowed me to dial from the location field with no problem at all. Others in the organizations I work with invite me to meetings and put dial info in the location field. This is an essential feature that Apple failed on before, and failed again in iOS4. Don't tell me its the carrier, or MS or anything else that Apple can't control. Other phones can do this simple thing. Apple can also. But they have chosen not to. Secondly, dialing the conference line, pauses, meeting ID numbers, etc in a SINGLE STRING from within a calendar notes area, or any other field is again, an essential smart phone feature that people like me are frustrated about. It worked beautifully on my BB phones. The new iOS4 greatly improved the DTMF tones. And the single string thing works in favorites and in contacts. But not in Calendar. Apple - fix these things please!

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??

How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??
Is it do-able??
I have a contact form that has the contacts phone number, etc... I would like to add a button to dial the number which would open the phone line (probably through my modem) and dial the number ... where I would pickup the receiver and wait for connection...
I need an example or a "How to" link or something where if I take the time I can get it working....
IF not, is there software to do it?
Thanks, Bill

Yes, great! I will check into my modem... but I remember years ago have a c program that I used to send error messages through the modem to my alpha-numeric pager. With that I started with that c program being called from REXX IBM language and it spoke modem language...
Is there another forum that would handle this type of request? what do you call telephone support? telephony? communication links? ....
Thanks for the input!

Need to dial a phone number from Cold Fusion

My boss asked me if there was any way that a phone number
could be dialed from Cold Fusion. We have a website where at some
point we want to just click a button and dial that phone number. My
guess is that the conversation will then be carried through the
computer's microphone and speakers and using the computer's modem.
Let me know if there is a way, or what would be the easiest
way to accomplish this, even if it has to be using VOIP, since
that's an option for this project.
Thanks!

Is this an internal site or an public-facing site? If you are
talking about using this tool in your intranet and you have a
modern phone system in place, there may be an API to interfacing
with your phone system. We use a TAPI interface to create a phone
dialer so our callcenter agents can dial a phone number on their
phone just by clicking on a link. I'm pretty sure there are a bunch
of freeware/shareware TAPI COM objects you can use floating around
the interwebs (If your phone system supports TAPI).
If you are talking about a public-facing website, then I'm
afraid I can't offer much advice other than to check out the Java
Communications lead that Ted gave you.

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

Dial a phone number embedded in a PDF document ...

Hi,
I cannot press on the phone numbers in my PDF document on my iPhone. Is it possible to dial a phone number embedded in a PDF document by pressing on it ? Is there a work around for that ?

No you can not do this.

Phone Number Tapping in Calendar

So why is there not a feature that allows me tap a phone number in the calendar to call it? For instance I set a reminder "Call John 323-555-5555" - the alert pops up and then I just tap the number from there.
That's kind of annoying that I can't do that.

It should be a feature, but isn't. It works for mail, but not calendar. Asking here, however, is fruitless, as this is a user forum, not a way of communicating with Apple. Submit a enhancement request to Apple. The link is at the top of every discussion board.

Popping noise with headphones and dialing a phone number in iOS6

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, I hear a loud pop when dialing the first number for a phone call and wearing the headphones. I did not have this problem on iOS5. My wife's iPhone4 had the same problem. Anyone else experience this?

I have been struggling with this as well. I'm puzzled that I haven't found a solution. Conference calls in the "location" of Exchange appointments are pretty commonplace in my work environment and I have to think I'm not unique. I am currently using a "workaround". First I found that you can use a comma as a soft pause (3 seconds from the call connecting). That however didn't work when I tried it inside of the calendar details. The number becomes dial-able, but it ignores everything after the comma and treats it as normal punctuation. Since commas only work from inside the address book I just created address book entries for all of the bridge numbers I call on a regular basis. This doesn't solve the problem by any means but it solves it somewhat until they figure out that if the really want to be an enterprise device they need to copy Blackberry now and then whether they want to or not. What we need is numbers that are dial-able from not just inside the details, but in the header fields of an appointment - since that's where the organizer is usually going to put them in my experience. And please give us the "x" for a hard pause. I guess I should submit that huh? Anyway, I hear you. I doubt I was much help though, sorry.

Dial contact phone number?

On my old pc, I used to have the option to plug in a phone line and have Outlook dial the contact's number for me. I don't see that option in Address Book, but it seems like it should exist. What am I missing?

nothing like this exists in Address Book. maybe some 3rd party software can do it but you'd have to search for it.

Direct dial a phone number feature is gone

When my phone operating system updated last month the Direct Dial feature is gone. there is a widget for direct dial but it goes into contact list and I still cant just dial a Number...This really sucks the numbers I want to dial are not in my contact list. ***

My phone is System
98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.us
Model
Droid4
Android version 4.1.2
Build date 11:25, 2 November 2013
my phone worked great up till 3 weeks ago When the phone did a system update.
I do not dial out much maybe 3 or 4 time a month my phone usage as a "Phone" is almost zero.
So I did not miss the dialer until I needed to make a call.
the only way I can make a phone call now is to go into my contact and create the contact to dial out then the dialer shows up
Also if someone calls and I do not answer and they leave a message then I can see the call Log and the dialer and i can then Dial out.

Firstly make sure you have enabled Siri. Go to settings>general>Siri and turn on, may sure you complete the My Info etc. Also go to settings>general>restrictions and turn Siri on there.
To use Siri press the home button to speak, you can also 'raise to speak' but be sure you enable that in settings>general>Siri>Raise to Speak and turn on.
Finally, have a look here for more help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992

How do I get iPhone to recognise phone numbers in Calendar entries?

Does anybody know how can I get iPhone (4S running iOS 5.1.1 with iCloud) to recognise phone numbers in Calendar entries made in Outlook 2010 for PC so that Calendar on iPhone underlines the phone number when the Calendar entry is called up and so that iPhone dials it upon touching the phone number?
iPhone used to do this nearly 100% of the time before I started to use iCloud, and now it fails to do it nearly 100% of the time!
All answers gratefully received.

This is a real bummer... I was an early adopter of FF (Windows), and have remained loyal even as other modern browsers (most notably Chrome) came along. But I'm also an Android user (smartphone and tablet). I was excited when the mobile version of FF was released, but sorely disappointed when I realized the browser's limited functionality . Why not wait until you have a fully-realized product, instead of shipping it out half-baked to the hungry masses? Unlike the built-in, stock Android browser that most phones ship with, I can't click on a phone number to call with the handset; can't click on an address to search with the Google Maps app; can't click a YouTube link to watch a video directly in the player app (as opposed to the browser version); etc. etc. etc. Grrrrr. The Android browser isn't pretty, bu at least it offers this basic functionality. Just sayin.
