i've recently moved from a p900 to a k750i (R1A044), but can't find mention in the user manual, nor in any menus, as to how i can use a calling card like i did with my p900.
am i missing something? just screwed? ...
thanks

thanks for the welcome - sorry for being unclear.
it was a play on the spelling of 'quality' (since it's a 'k' series phone) - because i don't see the point of a calling device that does not support a basic feature to modern calling. perhaps they will go on to release phones that don't support call waiting as well (i am being sarcastic).
at any rate, i was oscillating between using 'Krappy' and using 'Kwality' as the intended pun -- any trace of humor for which has been beaten out of it by now.

basically its a way of making a call and having the call charged to your credit card instead of your normal service provider
they seemsed to have removed this since the K700
here is an extract from the T630 manual

ya - a calling card is something you can use to get cheaper international rates (long distance too, but this is moot with most US cell plans). so instead of paying tmobile ~$2.35/min to call to some german landline from the us, i would use a calling card (for example nobelcom.com (not an ad, thier service is ok but the quality of the connection is usually dodgy)) to dial from my cell phone and pay ~$0.04/minute..
i had the feature on my p900, and my t68i before it.. i feel half-screwed, and half-stupid for assuming it was an automatic thing to put on cell phones.

Great Work on the calling card app!!!
Thanks!
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.
