One holds like 1000 records which i need matched & removed from the 2nd table of 10,000 plus odd records. Vlookup & Advanced filter haven't lived up yet. I'm in a situation where downloads are off the option list, Excel's all i have. -- Believe: - To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe ----Anatole France

Zain Blocking of DTMF on their GSM Network - Good News!
by Odhiambo Washington 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hello Skunk(ette)s, Yes! The good news is that Zain have finally allowed in-band DTMF on their network. Their engineer called me this morning to inform me that they have "listened to my cries" and a policy change has been effected to allow in-band DTMF. I've tested this with my system, which now works with both Zain/Safaricom/Telkom --> Zain. However, this has not been implemented in all their switches, but will be by end of the week so if it still doesn't work from your location, don't despair. It will work. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
