Requirements:
Modem/Phone Connected
Location: "C:\Windows\Dialer.exe"
I use a version
of this utility because my dialing sucks and I have
dialing errors Oregon and other states have or are
going to a mandatory 10 digit in a couple of months
which means my chances of dialing the right number
decreases. Plus I don't like trying to |
remember all the
numbers and I also use a dial around number for long
distance. 20 digit dialing, what a pain. It's a
snap with an auto dialer and never a wrong number unless
your original is wrong.
Down side: This utility does not store related
information and room for 8 phone numbers only.
Alternative Solutions:
1.
Outlook Program if you have it.
2. Your EMail
Address Book may have this feature. |

of Phone Dialer:
"Number to dial:" has
drop down list of phone numbers previously dialed in the order
of last dialed first.
Buttons have the name of the
person or company of the number you want to dial. By
clicking on the button, it will dial the number you installed
that is associated with the name. All you have to do is pick
up the receiver.

Add: Button number 2 is selected. see heavy line around
that button. It has no name or number. Insert the name you
want to appear on the button. Next insert the complete
"Number to dial:" and use hyphens to separate the
numbers for easy review" The hyphen is for your benefit
only as the program only reads numbers. Other characters will
stop your connection. Click "Save"
To Edit: select the button with the name to be
edited. The Name: box should be highlighted, if not select and
type over the name you want. Same is true of the
"Number". Click "Save". Your done ready to
dial.
