Numbers with + in front don't dial

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Dialing number with + in front like +48 91xxx xxx
2. SIP Provider don't accept numbers with +, call can't be completed

It would be nice to have the + translated into 00 before sending the number to 
SIP Provider.

I think the SIP provider should accept '+' ;-)
Like that it can choose the best route for his server and services.

I had the same problem and starting to strip off the "+" in all my address book 
entries (lots).  If this can be fixed easily that would be great.  The option 
just 
to ignore the "+" would probably also work.

My SIP provider does not accept a '+' in front of numbers, so it would be good 
to 
have siphone translate it into 00 before sending. That would be great, since 
for 
different reasons I don't want to remove the '+' in all my address book entries.

The problem is that some ITSPs don't adhere to E.123, this means that they do 
not recognize the '+' character 
as the trigger for the carrier to process as an international call.

You can save alot of headaches by creating an option for E.123 Masking, if 
activated, the options would be - 
"Ignore", "Change to 00", Change to "011". European ITSPs would process 00 as 
the international access code 
and 011 is the code for US ITSPs. When an outbound call is processed, it would 
basically do a simple search-
and-replace for the + character, either deleting it or modifying it.

Avery your are right, and I stopped this development for the moment.
Because Siphon can't correct all misconfiguration at all providers ;-)

When I decided to correct this, users could define the access code for '+'.

Unfortunately my VoIP provider doesn't recognize the + character either.

I'd rather not replace the + with something else in my address book, as it would
break when I take my iPhone abroad and do want to keep my address book 
functional for
regular GSM/3G calls.

Having an option to do the replacement, where we can choose what to replace it 
with
(e.g. 011 for USA, or 0011 for Australia) would be really desirable.

When I use Fring, it pops up a dialogue box where you can edit the number before
dialing---so I can, rather inconveniently, edit the number and do the 
replacement myself.

Thanks!

This the resolution of this issue depends of your provider.
Maybe if your sip providers don't support '+' because they don't accept 
international
call.

Hello Samuel!

Imho the best solution would be to have a translation mask.

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

I have 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 eford and great work, i discovered your app 
recently!!!!

Hi Samuel,

My ITSP supports international dialing, but doesn't recognize the + character.

I've tried contacting them so that they fix up their service, and substitute + 
for
0011 (Australia), but they're not very accommodating.

The only solution then, is for me to add 0011 to all of my address book 
entries.  But
I now reside in the US, where + is 011, and that then screws up my iPhone 
address
book.  It becomes even more complicated when I'm traveling abroad on global 
roaming...

The resolution for me is then to change ITSPs, or use another SIP client. :(  
Siphon
is a really nice, clean client; a real shame if the latter becomes the only 
option.
