I am logged in, using display option: mobile iii. Maybe this display dropped the attachment; we'll see.

think ts possible to have what grandcentral dialer do, work in the default call app..
grandcentral dialer is cool. but why not just intergrate whatever it does in the default app????

Ah that's probably it. I thought there was something suspicious about it not sending me the prompt with my GC # calling me.

I concur - I would love for this functionality to be integrated into Maemo's built-in software. I wonder what it would take for the Maemo devs to consider implementing it. And not just the communication with GC, but also automatically answering the call (on the tablet) and everything else needed to make it work just as seemlessly as if I were dialing out directly with Gizmo Out.

THANKS!! You have made calling out with GC as easily as on a cell phone!
Just finished installing it and made a call back to the States....'piece of cake'. Man this N800 keeps on ticking!!!

On my n810 ( while in "internet call" ) I hit menu, select, select to get the DTMF pad ( and apparently for the dialpad as well ).

It seems that the DTMF pad doesn't work if a call is made by the dailer. I can select numbers in the DTMF but they do nothing. If I call the same number via GC webpage the DTMF pad works, strange!

I doubt it, all DTMF tones are stripped in callback calling, it's a known GC "bug".

It will never be that easy because of the "quirks" of GC.

What IS possible are two things that will improve the phone experience. One is properly mapping the tel: uri so all the new iPhone sites ( like the iphone gmail contacts page / facebook's iphone page / and more ) will work with the mime system. Then we can map the phone mime types to EITHER the GC dialer or the default voip_ui application.

Once that is in place the gui dialer would just need to open the URI "tel:number" and the system will "do the right thing".

It's not as far fetched as it sounds, I already had about half of it working.
