I recently purchased a K700 to replace my T610. I am very happy with it so far, except that I cannot seem to find the "calling card" feature. Does anyone know if this phone has one, or if it can be downloaded etc.

Please let me know,
Thanks

welcome to Esato

calling cards are not mentioned in the manual and I don't see it in the phone in the area you would expect it, i.e. settings, calls, time and cost

I did not understand that feature on the T610?

the T610 manual, for example. describes callig card as

you can use the calling card service to redirect the cost of a call to a credit card or calling card account instead of your normal account. This may be useful, for example, when making long distance calls

most landline phone companies can provide calling cards so that the cost of calls overseas or long distance can be charged to your home phone account

I've used calling cards heaps in the past, but never on mobile phones, only on overseas landlines

Same to v600i.

Disappointed, and annoyed, and 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?

Is there a software can be downloaded to your K700 to do the "Calling card" function?

Seriously, how many people even used this feature in the T-series? I saw it in my old T300 and was clueless as what to do coz calling cards are not popular down here...maybe in the US.

Most of the International students or who need to make international calls from mobile will use the "Calling cards" function (if they know there is one).

It is for dialling through a local access phone card company (like in London) to call overseas people (like in China).

Even if the phone doesn't have the calling card feature, you can still use many calling cards, like OneSuite, from a cell phone without getting charged for the call.
