  • Now depending whether Vicar itself would have one or more calling card profiles created:
    • Single profile - "Call via Vicar" button would place a call straight away using that profile.
    • Multiple profiles - "Call via Vicar" would trigger additional, simple dialog window with Vicar profiles listed which should be used for that paritcular call.
MyContacts integration with VICaR is already a step on this direction. Have you tried it?

Also, one of the options that we have already discussed is adding one more button (like MyContacts has already for skype) that would allow the user to decide how to place the call to the international number on a per call basis (a lot like your screen)

Using MyContacts with VICaR also allows you to disable VICaR intercepting international calls so you don't have to worry about calls getting completed by mistake - VICaR will call directly the number selected on MyContacts.
