Originally written in 1996 in Psion OPL.
At the time I was using a Psion Series 3a along with the Vodafone "Telenote" app to send/receive SMS messages from the Psion via an attached Nokia GSM/PCN phone. I created this app as a prank to fool my colleagues at the time that I could also make/receive voice calls via the Psion/Nokia combo.
The app pretends to connect to an attached mobile network, allows the user to enter a number and uses the built-in tone generator to play dial/MF/ringing tones. The app then plays a .WVE file that sounds like someone has picked up/answered the call. This file can be re-recorded/customised so you can have whoever/whatever you like answering your fake call :-D
Only tested on Series 3a - for 3c/mx YMMV!
This repo is just a clone of the complete PHONEY folder that I found backed-up on a floppy (yes, an actual floppy disk!) and it's here for archival purposes only. If you wish to translate your own version you'll need to be familiar with intermediate/advanced programming in OPL for SIBO/EPOC16 computers.
Also contained here are some of the (DOS) tools used to create the APP on a PC:
- S3ATRAN.EXE translator,
- WSPCX.EXE Psion PIC bitmap converter/combiner,
- AKA.EXE code obfuscator and
- Jezar's help compiler for OPL.
Oh and BTW the email address [email protected] is long-dead too.
ENJOY!
