How calling Number with country code

[Wesley]

Hi together,

can somebody tell me, how i can call a number with country access code
per CAPI?
i.e.: 0049 40 123456 (+49 for germany)

If the country code is included in the Calling Party Number, it doesn't
work.

Many thanks for any help in advance!

Hi Wesley,

seeing your German mail address I assume you are calling [phone]
from inside Germany (e.g. Deutsche Telekom).
This does not work! You can simply test it with your phone. If you
call 040 12345, it works, if you call 00494012345, it does not work.

If this is not the solution to your problem, please post again and
we can go into detail.

Ciao,

Thank you for answer, Werner.
Now, I have test it and it works. I can call with full number inside of
same country. I know it also, perhaps I have an TAPI-implementation
with same number configuration. But on TAPI must hand over the country
code seperately from calling number. Now I imagine, that I also must do
it on CAPI.
Only, I found nothing about it in the CAPI manual... :-(

Greatings,
Wes

PS: Some phone contracts disable calls to other countrys and identify
that on leading "00".
Is it possible perhaps about that doesn't work it on your phone?

Because it is no matter of CAPI but of the ISDN network.

This is just a setting at the telephone network provider's side.
And BTW, I do not understand that some of them block the own
international code. Dialing +49 in Germany is perfect with
mobiles, but it may result in problems on a fixed line. I don't
understand why there must be/should be a difference.

I do not believe, that this is the reason. I saw that 0049xx problem
at work, and I am quite sure, that they do not block international
calls for our company's phone line.

I can only repeat: It is absolutly possible to call with full number in
the same country. I have test it at home and at work. With no problems.

Now I have found a description for the called party number in ETS 300
102-1 (chapter 4.5.8). Therefore exist a header for this number where
can set the type of number - national or international. That's it, what
I have looking for.

My Problem: I use the capi2032.lib (AVM) within a message-structure for
my application. How can I set the numbertype there?

Many thanks in advance,
Wes

I don't know it, I can just guess:

Mobile phones can be used abroad (roaming), and therefor it will be
compfortable to save the phone numbers in international format in your
mobile phone phone book. And at should be able to dial numbers in
international format even if your mobile phone is not in a foreign country.

But you cannot take your fixed line with you, when you travel abroad. So
it is not neccecary to dial with international prefix, if you use a
fixed line phone. The Deutsche Telekom (T-Com) owned a monopol for fixed
lines untill end of 1997. Since 1998, it is possible to choose your
provider for each single call by dialing a provider prefix (010xy) for
long distance calls. In the beginning, it was not allowed (by law) to
use provider prefixes for calls to your own city. There was a technical
problem, that by dialing 010xy-0049-234 you could by-pass the technical
blocking (and maybe there were some other blockings, that could be
by-passed by dialing the own country code). I don't know, if this is the
reason, why T-Com started blocking 0049, but at least I cannot dial 0049
from my T-Com fixed line today (I just tried it two minutes ago).

If you are interesed in a more detailed answer, I would suggest to
consult de.comm.anbieter.festnetz.misc (german language group about
fixed line providers)
