Hi,
I would like to be able to call a contact in Outlook by clicking on "Call contact...", after entering the number to call, when I press "start call" then my cell phone should dial this number directly.
I managed to connect my cell phone to my PC via bluetooth. My cell phone is seen as a "standard modem over bluetooth link". So in Outlook, after clicked on "Call contact...", in the dialing options, I can choose the "standard modem over bluetooth link" as the line to use to make phone calls. When I clicked on "Start call" then my cell phone is dialling the number but if my contact answers, he doesn't hear me and I don't hear him. This is because I'm in a kind of "data mode" instead of "voice mode".
Do you know how to do? Normally cell phone are connected to PCs via bluetooth to make file transfers or synchronization or see the cell phone as a modem for internet. But I want my cell phone to serve as a phone...to phone contacts from the PC.
Regards
Christophe

Then, how to configure my cell phone or my pc for an application (simple with a text field for the number, a combo box for the lines and two buttons "call" and "hang up") based on TAPI (Telephony API) so that I can click on a "call" button after choosing a line and then my cell phone is dialling the number (in a voice mode, not in a data mode)?

I do not believe this is possible. Here is directly from MS:
Make sure you are using a traditional (such as a 28.8 Kbps or 56 Kbps) modem.
If you use an external modem, make sure your communications port and modem are connected by a cable and that your modem is plugged into the phone jack, and then try the call again.
