Prefix Dialer Pro lets you automatically prepend dial codes and transform phone numbers before placing a call — perfect for office PBX systems, international dialling, or any setup where numbers need a prefix. HOW IT WORKS Set up one or more prefix rules (e.g. "00" or "9") and replacer rules (e.g. strip the leading "+"). When you dial a number from your contacts, clipboard, or manually, every enabled rule is applied automatically. FEATURES • Contacts — pick any phone number directly from your contacts • Clipboard — detected automatically each time you open the app • Manual entry — type a number without opening your contacts • Dial history — quickly redial recent numbers • Shake to open contacts picker • iCloud sync — rules stay in sync across your devices • Up to 1 prefix and 1 replacer free; Go Pro for unlimited GO PRO A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited prefixes and replacers and removes all ads. GREAT FOR • Staff who dial through a PBX (prepend 9 or 0 to get an outside line) • Frequent international callers (replace + with 00 or a country code) • Anyone whose phone system requires number reformatting before dialling
