Upgraded and Vicar works out of the box now. :)

Re: [Announce] VICaR: Value International Call Router (Calling Card Helper)
 

Did a quick test with two different profiles and found an issue (well, not exactly an issue, but something to improve). Say I have two profiles:

Profile 1 for numbers starting with +48
Profile 2 for numbers starting with +486

The problem is that Profile 1 is picked for *all* numbers starting with +48, including those with +486. I think Vicar needs to do a bit more clever matching while choosing profiles.

Additionally, nice-to-haves include:
- ability to define more than one prefix, comma separated (ie. "+48,+49")
- wildcards support (ie. "+48*01")
- ability to define an "umbrella" profile which would be used to route all international calls not handled by other profiles

after the update 0.5-1 and a reboot its working with charm.
Except from the error Unable to update.

Thanks

This one is tricky, I have figured out the logic for everything else except this one. Just curious, with wild card support and a default/umbrella profile would you still use comma-separated country codes?

Re: [Announce] VICaR: Value International Call Router (Calling Card Helper)
 

Well, to be honest - I would personally probably stick with just one, max two profiles for myself. I was thinking of these options as a way to extend Vicar functionality even further and make it more flexible, not necessarily that I specifically need these features right here and now. :)

I am unable to install vicar.
gives me prior to install does not help.
After install I see the binaries, so I tried but I the config utility was unable to save any profile.

Then I tried without the run-standalone bit and I was able to save a profile.
After that apt-get install vicar seems to have moved forward a bit, but I am still unsure if vicar is installed correctly because apt-get still threw errors at me.

I tried to set up vicar today to use the Dial-a-code service (dialacode.com) , which is basically a paperless pre-paid calling card alike scheme linked to special operator assigned numbers. Setting up a profile was simple, only one rule, numbers starts with "+324", calling card number "290333", format "00<...". Prefix I left empty as recommended.

When using vicar to call the Belgium mobile number, I had a flash of a message on-screen saying "this contact's application does not support this call" but the phone still calls the 290333 number and I hear the dial-a-code 'welcome' message. So it seems the DTMF tones were not send. I also tried entering a 'p' in the prefix field but no joy. Same behaviour.

Anyone seen this before ?

How about trying "pp" as prefix.

Hi there,

I like the application and use it too, great app, so thanks for the effort.

I want to ask for a clarification, With my previous phone (nokia 5800 a Symbian based phone) my network operator (3 Australia) would allow me free skype to skype calls without counting my data pack usage, this is something I am missing as I used just call friends and families for free and on the go. Basically, everytime I selected a skype contact to talk to it would dial out a local mobile number and then it would connect me to skype user (on their PC) on the other side, can use this app for same functionality?

Thanks

After submitting this post I realise that the dialing capability is built into Skype probably
