Has anyone come in touch with numbers of the format xxx?xxx?xxxx
Might it have something to do with SIM cards.
It comes up on my Samsung Vibrant, when I message someone. When I type Vin, for example for vince and all the names with that start show up, his mobile number I need shows up HOWEVER one other number I need is the one formatted like the above. Not just him. Numerous people which leads me to believe it is a SIM card number or something that is nothing to worry about
Next, this has something to do with the Samsung Buddy Widget Icon I am using.
I am fully capable of putting all of the contacts on. If I put all contacts with Mobile numbers, NO PROBLEM. However, I then thought, I had to put a contact with multiple numbers on , but make sure their mobile number is listed FIRST. This had worked once. But now, it doesn't matter where their mobile number is, I have put it first, second, etc , and when I text some people it texts their home number.
If anyone can help...Thanks so muchh

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Touch Pro and am slowly getting to grips with it. I put my current T Mobile sim card into it which has all my contacts on it. If I go through the Windows Mobile menus I can see all my contacts fine. However when the phone rings it doesn't show me what contact is calling. After the call is completed it usually pops up with a message saying "This contact is not on your list" or something like that and I have to go into the contacts list and manually add the contact from there to get it to show me who is calling on the screen the next time.
Why is this if the contacts list is already in the phone and showing up when I look at it?. Is there a way to have all my contacts added in so that every one of them shows up when someone calls or do I have to do them all manually one at a time?. Because that would take ages as I have a lot of contacts!!!.
Many thanks for any advice you guys can give.
hello, copy your contacts from your simms to the phone memory., see if that works, im guessing when you enter the phone # after the call the # is being put into the phone memory and thats why you can see it the next time. hope this helps.

Thanks, will try that out and report back with my findings.
This issue is concerning the G1 phone.
I recently downloaded an app named, Visual VoiceMail. Its supposed to be somekind of interactive list of all the voicemail I recieve, where I can interact and organize by hand on touch screen compared to calling my voicemail and deleting or saving any of my messages by touchtone.
In order for this app to work I must fill out a free registration form that includes my telephone number.
My issue is, Im not sure if they want the telephone number of my phone (I assume they do) or my voicemail telephone number. Neither phone numbers worked.
I cant figure out why either of these numbers wont work for the registration. Every time I enter in a number and try to sumbit I recieve a notice that says, "!! Registration Failed, Unable to determine this devices phone number."
I went to settings, about phone, my phone number. There was no number listed under 'my phone number' and i dont know why that is.
If anyone has any information on how i can make this app work, or how to fix the status of 'my phone number' so it does have an actual phone number (at this moment there isnt an option to edit 'my phone number') it would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
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.

didnt get u if u are wanting to save ur contacts just open the contacts and choose export contact to sd card and save all contacts it will be saved in vcf format,copy it in ur pc and use it as per ur need as i wasnt clear what u tried to ask
For that you need to first get your number listed here: Settings => About => Status.
If your number is showing, then add yourself as a contact with that number. Put a profile pic that you want to appear on the messaging app.
In case "Unknown" is displayed as the number, then you need to put your SIM into a phone with the ability to edit it's own number and then change it. Eg: SE K550i
AFAIK, Optimus one cannot edit its own number on the SIM.
Use an old phone
Hi,
I don't know if the problem has been solved by now?
Here is an (easy) way to do it:
Put your sim in an old cellphone. (i used motorola from 2004) and search for the option there to change "My number" or something like that.
Once you put your sim back in your current phone, the number will be adapted.
Normally every cellphone that is not a smartphone (old enough) should be able to do that.
I have been tried to use SE Z520 to edit MSISDN EF 6F40, success, but you can not get the Android-Setting-About phone-Status...-phone number to replace the unknown....
so I have used my laptop build-in Smartcard reader to change it with this tool:
http://jfviguer.free.fr/simcardexplorer/index.php
it can also read/write 3F00/7F10/6F40 MSISDN for GSM phones.
BUT,
it is too old to support 4G USIM 3F00/7FFF/6F40 MSISDN for 4G USIM.
also lack of support for 4G USIM 3F00/7FFF/6F44 MDN for 4G CSIM
That make the 4G Android phones can not display phone number correctly,
above tool is a good beginning, looking forward for more tool like that

So ive had my phone for 2 days
Everything works fine except that when a call comes in, it will only show the number. Once I answer it, THEN it will show me the name connected to that number.
To clarify, if i have 20 people in my contacts listed by name, if one of those people call me, say Bob, it will just show their number when they call. Only after I accept the call, will it show Bob along with the number. Obviously this is bad because I dont know my friends numbers, a just their name. Ive searched all thru-out the phone and cant find the option to turn this on. I just simply want that if somebody calls me, and their number is in my contacts, to simply display their NAME along with the number, BEFORE i choose to answer the call or not of course
Anybody have this issue?
Please dont say reset the phone, spent to days getting it to the way I want it to be....
