i switched from a p900 to a k750i to find that, to my dismay, there was no provision for calling cards.

i wrote a small j2me app which handles this. it's free, it's still version 0.7 so don't expect the world (the layout is also different on the phone than on the emulator, so it's a bit ugly) - but it works and you can store multiple cards for those who travel..

will release 1.0 after i'm back from vacation in a few weeks.

Calling Card - for the SE K750i

from the memory stick, to whisper quiet audio playback levels, to thinking a phone capable of being carried around the globe doesn't need to use calling cards, SE will always find a way to screw up an otherwise beautiful work of phone art -- here's a dab of glue for that broken heel on your expensive shoes.

thanks to SE's Kalle who provided priceless information to me at the SE dev forum (in an unbelievably quick response time, which has now set completely unrealistic expectations in my mind unfortunately) - and thanks to SE for at least giving a really decent free dev kit (with which we can fix their omissions).

thanks as well to the fine developers responsible for EclipseME (and, of course, Eclipse).

for installation, since this is a 0.7 release, you're left to get it on to your device. something nice for future versions when i'm back from vacation..

does your software useful to v600i ? if so, please let me know!

also surprised, there is no "Calling cards" menu in the new v600i as well ! Strange enough why Sony Ericsson remove that useful feature!

Is there another simple way to send three long numbers one by one with only pressing 2 to 3 times?

this should work on the v600i - it has the correct MIDP version (2.0+), so it should be ok.

yakking about what calling cards are can be found in your manual or here:

Oh I see, nice work. I suppose not many was using this feature as the sim card is a "calling card" afterall.

I didn't even know that it was possible

Usage is pretty straight forward - just open the app, click on More and click on Manage Cards... Click on More again and select Add New...

I was wondering if there are going to be future releases of this app. One option that comes to mind is selecting whether the Calling Card PIN on the destination number should be sent 1st (some ask for pin first some ask for number first) This used to be an option on the T637 if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for a great app!
