WOW!!!! group sms is so easy! regarding my earlier inquiry regarding the group contacts, you were right zz, it was so easy to add them to TP. Very great work!!!!

Just purchase this today.....

At last! Solved my group sms problem with tawag pinoy + bitesms. Thanks so much!

To the peeps who just got TP, really hope you can show some luv and leave a review in the AppStore. There's a convenient button in the Settings to bring you to the review page. Won't take more than 5 mins of your time.

User reviews really help us developers. They enable window shoppers to see user's experience with the app, and it also helps us know what future features and improvements you want.

Hello. I regularly use Smart Hellow Service for international calls. I have saved the number string in my iphone contacts which starts with an asterisk with pauses (P) for prompts and dtmf numbers for access codes so I can connect easily. I can successfully connect using the Iphone's contacts address book but cannot using tawag pinoy.

ex.

*4334p1p111----7097p710071p00659052----
(substituted #s with dashes to hide my hellow access # and # I am calling.

what tawag pinoy dials is...
+63 659052----

Any walk around through this? Thanks!

I'll be adding international special calls support in v1.3. I started with local calls since that's what the app is primarily for.

But based on the number you posted, a number like that can never be dialed from in-app, except thru Apple's own app. Numbers with special characters like * and p cannot be dialed from within an application, the SDK prohibits this. So nothing I can do from my end can enable you to call that number from within Tawag Pinoy. Sorry about that.

Here's a quick maintenance release which still packs some few additions that I'm sure will make everyone's TP use more enjoyable. v1.2.1 is now on the AppStore.

Tawag Pinoy v1.2.1 Full Changelog:
+ New icon!
+ App now remembers your last selected tab (persistence)

+ Fixed non-appearing company only contacts in list (bug reported by trebor)
+ Changed default behaviour when a group is tapped in the Favorites View (Tapping group name initiates sending a group SMS. Tapping the accessory icon shows group members. Group SMS requires BiteSMS to work) (requested by erwingle)

+ Fixed crashing caused by WTF contacts

Request noted and will be included in v1.3 scheduled for March. What do you mean slide to delete contact? In main list? Does anybody else want this? Let me know.

One day I hope TP will replace the Phone app; that's when I add normal and T9 dialing na in TP. Until then, yup replace your Addressbook app na, di mo na kailangan yan.

Love the new icon, matches my preferred monochrome theme. Cheers!
