Hi all,
Tried to search this but could not find anything. I was wondering if there is any way to change the settings in Contacts to have more than 1 mobile number instead of Work Fax or Work Number?
I know it's easier to just input it as another but when I am sending a SMS and I type the name, it would automatically pul the mobile number.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey,
can anyone help me.
I have an unlocked XDA II and I would like to change the default voicemail number from 901 to 121, can somebody tell me where you change this settings.
Cheers
Gigi
Go to start/settings/phone then click services, click voice mail and sms, then click get settings, you can change it from there.
on XDA I : start -> settings -> phone -> services -> voice mail and sms
Hey
thanks for the reply but the one I would like to change is when your are in the active screen.
go to messaagging/voicemail
That is the one I want to change it is set to 901.
I would like to change it to the Vodafone one which is 121
Cheers

I am also having trouble enterng the voicemail number.
Whenever I enter the voicemailnumber in the boxes you get after 'Get settings', a tap om 'ok' just gives me the message the information could not be updated to the network.
I reckon that is just the case, BUT these info (SMS messagecentre and voicemail number) should NOT be updated 'to the network'. These number just reside on the SIM.
Because no voicemailnumber is set-up, the default speed-dial (1-key) for voicemail, which cant be deleted, does not work either . . .
Does anyone have a clue how to enter a voicemailnumber ??
Found a solution, see my other thread:

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea on how to change the dialed out numbers without modifying Contact entries? Reason for this is that I have listed all my contacts with a +countrycode,areacode,telnumber for the purpose of me being able to sms out even when overseas. However there are times that calling the same number when roaming overseas would need me to change the + sign to *123countrycode,areacode,telnumber. What's happening now is that I need to manually type in the new set of codes plus the tel numbers before I can dial out. Using the autosearch function of the Phone would not allow me to change the number shown.

Anyone who has idea on how to handle this? tried to search web but no one seem to have this problem. Any idea?
Hi
I have a question, I have a HTC S710 running WM6. When I get an SMS
instead of showing the name of the person that sent it, it shows the
number even I have the contact stored. What I figured is that the
stored number is XXX-XXXX and the SMS comes from +506 XXXXXXX.
In other phones Ive had (Nokia, Sony Ericsson) when an SMS comes from
that number, it does associate it with the contact name.
Any ideas on how to get this done on the HTC S710?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
I don't see anything else than modify the whole phonebook and put +506 (or a needed one) at the beginning of all your numbers. Maybe all your phones were able to display correct number, but I'm afraid that WM can't do it
Nokia only compares the last 7 digits from the right.
I think it's also depends on the network you are connected to.
that's what someone told me anyway so don't take my word from it... here we don't have that problem (even if the number is sored without +972 it still show the name of the contact when SMS arrives).
So Ive been using my HTC Ozone (6.5 Standard, 3VO rom) for a while in israel, and the way the cellular network works is as follows:
country code is +972
the number that shows up on an incoming call is 052-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an incoming text is +972-52-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an outgoing call when dialing without the country code (aka 052-555-5555) is +972-052-555-5555.
All of these differences mean that if I have a number saved in the contact manager (in only one of the above forms), it isnt displayed 2/3rds of the time. If i send a text to ME(052-555-5555), the reply comes back from an unsaved number, in a new thread is +972-52-555-5555.
Is there a way for me to just save the base number (052-555-5555), and have the phone's contact manager realize that its the same number is the +92 equivalent? My current workround is saving all the forms of a number to a contact, but 1. its tedium to go through all my contacts and do this, and 2. you can only save so many numbers to a contact, which means im screwed if the contact has two different numbers.
I see all these fields in the "current country" setting, but I have no idea what they mean, or if that is even the solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey , i got the same problem on my Omnia 2 with windows mobile version 6.5
The local incoming call won't show the country code, and sms does the opposite way.
check through all my phone setting, can not find any related option for this.
Thanks for anyone can provide a resolution.
i just resolved my problem. hope this way can help you as well.
get a regedit software on your windows mobile phone.
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Phone
under it, you should able to see a key name "CallIdMatch", change the value to maybe 8 or 9, which means it will match the last 8 or 9 numbers for each incoming call or sms. (use decimal) after the changing, reboot your phone.
Wow, it worked!!
Thanks a lot man!
thanks for the tip jason_ma!
i was also wondering about it.
Anyone know how to edit CalIidMatch an an HTC hero
Having searched this and various other forums I'll see if anyone here can help on this item. I've been using WM devices and XDA for many years and have now had to switch to a Droid 2 Global on Verizon due to work rather than choice. For over ten years I have entered my outlook contacts in the format +XX (YYY) ZZZ-ZZZZ where obviously, XX=country code.
When I dial by contact on the droid it fails and tells me the number is disconnected etc.
If I manually enter the number using this format with the "+" sign into the dialer then it switched the "+" to "011" and dials successfully.
If I create the contact on my phone and enter the "+" sign in the phone number it seems to automatically create a second number entry as "011" as well so it then dials successfully.
The odd part is several colleagues seem to be able to use their existing outlook contacts in the same format successfully.
I have tried switching on and off the assisted dialing and it doe snot seem to make any difference, calls still fail to go through.
I am using a D2G with a stock (but rooted) ROM
System 2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US
Android 2.2
Baseband N_01.48.05R
Apologies if I have missed something obvious, I know my way around WM but this is all new. Thanks in advance for any help.
I had a couple of issues with telephone number formats, installing the "More Locale 2" app (available on the market) seemed to fix them.
Mine was more a presentation issue though, I'm not sure if it will solve your dialer problem but it's worth a try.
