The phone at my home was broken in the way that the buttons wouldn't make any sound, so we couldn't call out -- so I wrote a program that dials for the phone.

I just looked up the frequencies for each button on the internet, made wav files for each and wrote a quick little FB program to dial the numbers.

You just have to type in the number, hold the reciever up to your speaker, and press enter.

Never underestimate the resourcefullnes of a computer nerd. Good job, I used to have a program like this a loooong time ago. I'm not at home so I can't try yours out right now though.

i bet this could be used with mr keelings qbsound routines so that it actually generates the tones on the fly as opposed to needing wav files =)

Man, that is such a great hack! You could modify it to be a speeddialler! make a GUI and you could call your friends at the click of a button, even with a very cheap low tech phone!

This is definately a new one
