Does any one know the US carrier Preselection numbers? Thanks

[mbranscum]

I installed it on my 5600 and the screen says it's active but when I call my phone it just rings and then rolls over to voice mail but it never sends any text message to the other cell phone....am I missing something?

[Mike Temporale]

I think the problem might be related to your preselection numbers. You have to tell it what numbers to listen for and reply to. Don't you? That way it doesn't try and send a SMS to a landline.

Disclaimer: I haven't installed this, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. ;)

How do I add more preselection numbers (these are the numbers that the app recognize and will send smses to right?) Is there a list of Preselection numbers for all operators (I'm in the Philippines)

[Omega2008]

Yea with out those preselection codes the app is pretty worthless to me. Hopefully some one will compile a list since I have no clue on where to find them.

[bnycastro]

ok i've got it working (well for me atleast) I figured these selection codes were the start of a number so I tried it out.

my bro's number is +63917XXXXXXX. I tried adding +63917 it did not work, so I put 0917 and it worked :P

So far for the Philippines here is what I have
0915 - Globe Telecom
0916 - Globe Telecom
0917 - Globe Telecom
0918 - SMART
0919 - SMART
0920 - SMART
0922 - SUN Cellular
0926 - SMART

[Omega2008]

How did you go about finding them.....how did you know that 0917 was the right one? I need the preselection numbers for the US carriers.

[bnycastro]

well these numbers mean the carrier and well when someone calls you these show up in fornt of the mobile number. so maybe you can take a look at your receive calls list to figure out which selection numbers you need. You can also test it out with a friend like what I did with my bro.
