How often do I need to update my profile?

What are exception numbers?

These are the area codes that you do not want to dial with the G3SmartDialer. By default the Exception Number(s) are the set to the area code of your cellular phone number. You can add or delete additional area codes. For example if you want to add 905, you would have to enter - 905,1905 in the Exception Numbers.

What is a Location ID?

By default, it is the first 7 digits of your mobile phone number including Country Code. The access number is based on your Location ID. If you change your Location ID and select 'Update Profile,' the access number will also change according to your new Location ID.

Change your Location ID whenever you travel outside your city or state to ensure that the access number(s) you will be using is local to your area.

For example, if you are traveling to Montreal, you can change your location ID to '5144995':

1514 - Country code + Montreal area code
499 - first three digits of your mobile number (or any 3-digit numbers will do)

Click on 'Update Profile' to edit your Location ID. After entering your new Location ID, click on 'Update Profile' again to retrieve your new local access numbers.

What is a Pause Code?

Pause codes are automated and carrier-specific codes that are used to instruct the receiving system to pause before entering the numbers that follow them in a dialing sequence. Most common pause codes are "p", "," (comma) and ";" (semicolon).

The majority of Android phones use "," (comma) to pause when dialing, but a few Androids use "p" (small p). If the SmartDialer should fail to dial any number, try changing the default Pause Code setting on the application. You may need to update the automated pause code to one that is specific or appropriate for your phone model.
