Auto Add a prefix from Contacts.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First, I'd like to thank you for this wonderful app. I was expecting for it
and it worked flawless with asterisk at work. I have IPhone 3G with last FW.

Now I'd like to ask for a new feature:
  At work I have an asterisk. If I want to dial from it, I have to dial
first number 0 to get an outside line and them proceed to the rest of the
number to dial.
  Since Siphon have the option to get the number from contacts, there could
be an option for it to auto add an prefix for the phones choosen from
contacts. So, if I have a phone like 6354-9876, it could dial 06354-9876.
  Without this feature, I have to manually dial the number or store a new
(duplicated) number on all my contacts with the 0 before.

Thanks...

I add prefix for all number, but it's not easy to choose just for contact and 
favorites.

If I add for all numbers on my contacts list, them I cannot call without SIP, 
by my
normal cell.

I was thinking here... if prefix is implemented, there should be a way to dial
internal PABX numbers easily, that does not require prefix.
May be a toggle when we open Siphon (on the keyboard) or en special caracter on
number, or a special tag (like siphon, or internal, etc) of number that if it is
tagged there the prefix is not applied...

Hello Samuel!

Imho the best solution would be to have a translation mask for everything which 
is not enterd via the dialpad 
(contacts,...) (If you know dialectic for osx theres a similar solution)

In my case its even more complicated then + -> 00:

I have also my own VoIP PBX running and i need to dial 0 to get a free line.

So my translation would be +# -> 000# or 00# -> 000# 

I think you get an idea ;)

P.S. Thanks a lot for your efford and great work, i discovered your app 
recently!!!!

+1 for prefix on numbers not entered into the dialpad. Including numbers sent 
to the app through the URL 
sip:xxxxxxxxxx

I have a simular option. My provider (job plan) forces me to add an additional 
0 to dial external number. However 
I have solved this by having all contact in standard international format, such 
as +46-8-22334455. This works 
great for the "real" iPhone dialer. However Siphon won´t let me dial any 
number that starts with + :(

It would really make my day to be able to use the same contact numbers for both 
the iPhone and Siphon.

Thanks for a great application !!

Ok, I´ll comment on my own comment.
Last update of Siphon (2.0.3-1) solved my issue with international number 
formating.
I simply added 00 as an replacement for + (Intl Prefix Substitution) and 
everything
works perfect right now.
Thanks for a VERY quick fix!

I've been playing around with the International Prefix Substitution for a long 
time 
and still can't find a substitution for + that will work.

I'm asking for an option to simply remove the + from any number.

PLEASE!!!!!
