iPhone Edit Before Call 2.0 Release

Edit Before Call/SMS just released a free update for all 1.x customer. It is a major update of the app and it introduced a new function, “Rules”. You can preset rules to help you modify the phone number automatically. For example, rules can help you change the number from +852 12345678 to 12345678 with the option “Remove”. Beside of “Remove” option, you can also perform “Add” and “Replace”.

Originally this update was planned to release near Christmas, but my iMac suddenly out of order during in Dec, and a friendly comment from Doctor Mike. Sorry for the delay and I hope you all like the completely new version. And I would like to thanks all the friends they sent us comment, suggestion, and helps during the beta testing. Especially Jeff Carter, without his help the app can not reach the release status . Thank you very much.

“Edit Before Call” reads the phone numbers from your contacts list, and allows you to temporarily edit the number before making a call/send SMS. The saved number in your contacts will not be changed. It helps to keep your contacts list clean and easy to manage. Particularly for when you need to make a lot of long distance calls.

Features:
- You can pre-set “Add”, “Remove” and “Replace” rules for different cases
- ‘Recent Dialed’ List for you to have faster access to numbers you’ve dialed
- ‘Favorites’ List to save your frequently used phone numbers
- English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese interface

We hope the new upgraded version of “Edit Before Call” brings you more key features, that will make it easier and more convenient to use your phone.

Limitations/Bugs of making call through SDK

Edit Before Call make use of the “openURL” function in the SDK to make call from a native app. However, it seems only providing incomplete support for daily phone usage.

One of the problems major is, that function does not support phone number with “,” “*” “#”. The function accepts the phone number with those charaters, report “YES” (success) and then do nothing.

The same problem also happens when you click on the phone link in the Mobile Safari. It seems that it is a bug in the openURL function. As a SDK for a mobile phone but providing this kind of phone support. It really disappointed me.

Some notes about the download figure. Most of the download now come from HK, and US. Can you guess who is the 3rd? It is Italia.

I think the HK Weather really give me a lot friends. They are willing to try my app. It is really an unexpected effect. (But remember read the description carefully before purchase, I hope you all can be a happy user.)
