Fixed Dialling Number Settings Tutorial

This tutorial describes how to get and set the Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) settings.

The Fixed Dialling Number service restricts the user to dial only those numbers that appear in the FDN phonebook on the SIM or R-UIM.

Activate or deactivate FDN using RMobilePhone::SetFdnSetting()
Get the current FDN status using RMobilePhone::GetFdnStatus(). Possible status values types are described in the RMobilePhone::TMobilePhoneFdnStatus enum.
To receive the notification of any changes to the FDN status, use RMobilePhone::NotifyFdnStatusChange()

FDN settings example

The following code gets the FDN status, and checks if FDN is active.

The code assumes iMobilePhone is an RMobilePhone object.

RMobilePhone::TMobilePhoneFdnStatus fdnStatus;
User::LeaveIfError(iMobilePhone.GetFdnStatus(fdnStatus));

if ( (fdnStatus == RMobilePhone::EFdnActive) || (fdnStatus == RMobilePhone::EFdnPermanentlyActive) )
    {
        //do something
    }

You can find what the fixed numbers are through RMobilePhoneBookStore using the KETelIccFdnPhoneBook phonebook.
