[GNOME] Dialpad

Submitted by Óvári (ovari)

Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) signals are commonly heard on telephone dial pads. Each tone is simply the sum of two sine waves.

An Online Tone Generator where you can click and hold the dial pad buttons to hear each tone at:

Please also implement:
A (697Hz and 1633Hz)
B (770Hz and 1633Hz)
C (852Hz and 1633Hz)
D (941Hz and 1633Hz)

Thank you

That's also the most missing feature for me. I use Jami mostly as a SIP client. As such I often dial in to some phone conferences where I have to enter a pin to enter the call which is impossible without a dialpad (unless I missed something). So I always have to switch to something else for conference calls.

@BeS the numeric keys on the keyboard works to send a PIN

@sblin do all numeric keys work? Some keyboards don't have a number pad, they only have numbers in a row above the qwerty keys.

@sblin how can the following be sent as a PIN too:
* star/asterisk
# hash
A (697Hz and 1633Hz)
B (770Hz and 1633Hz)
C (852Hz and 1633Hz)
D (941Hz and 1633Hz)

Can a Dialpad please be added which includes all the keys (0-9, A-D, * and #)?

Thank you

@mzhang Actually are SIP calls supporting "*#ABCD"?

@ovari do you know numbers with menus accepting that DTMF to try?

added SIP label

Also, why need a graphical dialpad when you have a keyboard?

Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF)

Also, why need a graphical dialpad when you have a keyboard?

Jami works on Android TV. Perhaps with a smart touch screen TV without a keyboard you would be able to use Jami
Touch screen devices
Small screen (no physical keyboard) https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-client-gnome/issues/818
Interactive voice response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and DTMF tones input via a keypad. The keypad in Jami should show the letters which are assigned to each digit (see image of keypad below)
Telephone numbers can be represented with characters
1-800-PLUMBER, 1-800-758-6237, http://www.1800plumber.com/

Does this help?

Thank you

@mzhang Actually are SIP calls supporting "*#ABCD"?

We have previously called our number which also had a physical answering machine attached. We used also used the "*#ABCD" once the answering machine picked up the phone to check for and navigate (fast-forward, rewind, skip) messages.

In all the case, there is a system keyboard (actually android has a dialpad button, but that issue was from gnome). I mean, the visual keyboard exists on gnome.

Telephone numbers can be represented with characters

yeah ok for that use-case

Hi @all ,

The DTMF does support *,#,ABCD

It is just in Windows client, ABCD is now not implemented

#,* exits on sip input panel.

We are going to do it soon

Best, Ming

Can the Dialpad please be also available for the JAMI protocol (not just SIP) calls?

It is just in Windows client, ABCD is now not implemented

Understood as ABCD is:

Available in Windows client
Not yet available in macOS, iOS, GNU/Linux, Android, Android TV

Is that correct?

Can you please advise when the Input Panel will be available in clients which currently don't support the Input Panel?

#,* exists on SIP input panel.

Can the Input Panel please be also available in JAMI protocol conversations?

With auto-answer
Settings → Account → Enable “Auto answer calls”
it would enable use-cases currently not thought of.

For example:

Company use with one Jami account with IVR and calls can be forwarding to the appropriate person/department.
Enable JAMI to have the same features as SIP.

Not really sure if we want ABCD on sip input panel?

Yes, please add ABCD to the Input Panel.

If you don’t want to add it to the default Input Panel, please add a setting:
Settings → General → System → Show extended Input Panel

If “Show extended Input Panel” is enabled, ABCD is also shown.
If “Show extended Input Panel” is disabled, ABCD is not shown.

What do you think?

Thank you

Hi @ovari ,

On client windows, the ABCD inputs (sip) are currently implemented, it should be available at the next few releases.

But about the first and second question, i cannot be sure myself,

What do you think @sblin ?

Hi,

will there be a ETA when the Dialpad will be availabe in Jami for Linux (Ubuntu) as SIP Client?

It would be very usefull to have the dialpad for example in Telephone Conferences for the dial in .

Best Regards

No there is not. But you can use the keyboard

Really? So i take Jami in foregound and use the Numpad on my keyboard and it should work?

Edit: Oh yeah - i didnt know this! thank you for the hint @sblin

I mean a 1 is a 1. The dialpad is just a graphic keyboard, but you have a real keyboard generally

Hi all,

I don't wish to be a "me too" comment, but I wanted to join the conversation because the number row keys do not actually seem to function in my calls.

I am located in Canada, and when hitting the number keys, I hear the tone but the machine at the other end does not hear the tone. In some cases, the machine does hear the tone but I need to press the number 2-3 times in rapid succession, so entering a PIN for example, would not work properly.

A test number would be +19053321851 (Burlington Hydro in Canada), it has a phone menu so it is safe to call.

Some additional details which may be related (but probably are not)

I had a similar issue before with Zoiper (on my android device) if the speakerphone was on. The microphone was picking up the tone and causing issues.

@ovari fyi the dialpad is available in client-0qt

Thank you for your advise.

Unfortunately we can not test this as it is blocked by https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-daemon/-/issues/201

Thank you
