Did a quick test with two different profiles and found an issue (well, not exactly an issue, but something to improve). Say I have two profiles:
Profile 1 for numbers starting with +48
Profile 2 for numbers starting with +486
The problem is that Profile 1 is picked for *all* numbers starting with +48, including those with +486. I think Vicar needs to do a bit more clever matching while choosing profiles.
Additionally, nice-to-haves include:
- ability to define more than one prefix, comma separated (ie. "+48,+49")
- wildcards support (ie. "+48*01")
- ability to define an "umbrella" profile which would be used to route all international calls not handled by other profiles

I am unable to install vicar.
gives me
prior to install does not help.
After install I see the binaries, so I tried
but I the config utility was unable to save any profile.
Then I tried without the run-standalone bit and I was able to save a profile.
After that apt-get install vicar seems to have moved forward a bit, but I am still unsure if vicar is installed correctly because apt-get still threw errors at me.
Code:
apt-get install vicar
Code:
... Opening database at "/home/user/vicar.db.sqlite" VICaR profiles database opened. Creating VICaR profiles table.. Failed to open connection to "session" message bus: (null) dpkg: error processing vicar (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: vicar E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Code:
apt-get purge vicar
After install I see the binaries, so I tried
Code:
run-standalone.sh /opt/vicar/vicar-config
Then I tried without the run-standalone bit and I was able to save a profile.

I tried to set up vicar today to use the Dial-a-code service (dialacode.com) , which is basically a paperless pre-paid calling card alike scheme linked to special operator assigned numbers. Setting up a profile was simple, only one rule, numbers starts with "+324", calling card number "290333", format "00<...". Prefix I left empty as recommended.
When using vicar to call the Belgium mobile number, I had a flash of a message on-screen saying "this contact's application does not support this call" but the phone still calls the 290333 number and I hear the dial-a-code 'welcome' message. So it seems the DTMF tones were not send. I also tried entering a 'p' in the prefix field but no joy. Same behaviour.
Anyone seen this before ?

Hi there,
I like the application and use it too, great app, so thanks for the effort.
I want to ask for a clarification, With my previous phone (nokia 5800 a Symbian based phone) my network operator (3 Australia) would allow me free skype to skype calls without counting my data pack usage, this is something I am missing as I used just call friends and families for free and on the go. Basically, everytime I selected a skype contact to talk to it would dial out a local mobile number and then it would connect me to skype user (on their PC) on the other side, can use this app for same functionality?
Thanks
