Hi Guys While trying to fix my empty treo mail outbox in another post I have had an idea for a program & what to know if anyone has tried it or even if it is possible.
When I get a incoming voice call if the # is not in the address book, it will check to see if the prefix of the number is in a area of an address you recently updated in the address book. So if your sister moved into a new house & she gave you her new address you have entered in the PDSA, she doesnt know her phone no. yet, in OZ it can take weeks to get a phone connected, not like the US. The program can google OZ sites only for "08 8123" for example this happens in a flash as we are searching for number and we are only interested in the prefix of the number & get back any business that is located within that prefix, then get the Suburb which would then could be check again you sisters new suburb as it search the recent updates in the PDA & the phone says you have an incoming call , the number is is not in the address book but it is from a suburb that your sister is now living in. I have got a prototype happening, but I cant work out how to activate it. The searching & the phone all seem to be able to work fast enought, the best ways would be if it was possible to have the call keep ringing while we held down a button. I dont know were I would insert this code into the incoming call stream or how to hand over to the next appropriate application. I think this program would register for incoming calls & then hand over to the "Phone" if the number is in the address book or some other event like the number is barred. Will this work ? -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
