[Q] can't dial numbers with +(country code) prefix - HTC Diamond 2 (WM6.5) - General Questions and Answers

Help...
I have my whole phone book in outlook set with international prefix dialing codes (for ex. Israeli numbers are stored +972).
I had no issues dialing in the past on my HTC Tytn. I upgraded the phone to Diamond 2 (WM 6.5), and I cannot dial anymore numbers that begin with "+".
for ex +972-9-xxxxxxx is replied with a voice message from the operator "the number you dialed is not in the system", while dialing 00-972-9-xxxxxxx does work.
where is the "+" translated to the international dialing code in Israel "00")?

You can use 00 instead of +.
+3630..... is the same like 003630.....

thanks Adolf.
Yes I can use 00, but this is OK for calls initiated from Israel. In the US I need 011.
I am also getting the phonebook from an exchange server with the "+" already in the number. Editing hundreds of numbers is not something I am looking forward to...
As my old Tytn did dial the "+" sign with no issues, I know this is possible.
Does anyone knows how to make the "plus code dialing" tab appear under the phone settings? For some reason, all I see under network services is:
"Call Forwording" (Typo in original text)
"Call Waiting"
"Message Center"
I do not have the "plus dialing" item...

Any ideas?
where in WM6.5 registry do I edit the "+" dialing options?

I use the attached registry file to dial using the plus code while in the U.S. Hope it works for you. I received the settings from here. I have an HTC Imagio running Energy Sense 2.5 CHT ROM.

thanks.
What OS where u using? I think it works for 6.0/6.1 but not for 6.5

Prefix dialing and dialing rules

I'm looking for the ability to contact certain people using prefxes such as international access numbers, pin numbers, suffex dialing for extensions, etc without having to edit each contact manually (i.e. entering commas for hard pauses and what not). If you manually edit contacts for automatic dialing sequences they lose their original formating and so you run into problems with caller ID and sms functionality. For example if you have an x number of contacts whose numbers begin with the same international access number it will get confused and think all the contact entries are the same.
A program like this could also support other dialing prefixes such as *67 for anonymous calling, (11) + 10-digit phone number for direct voicemail calling. It can also be used to setup automatic dialing sequences for those who need to access voice mails on other numbers, so no and so forth.
Up until now I have only been able to find one program that supports this for WM2003 (MyPrefixDial), but I don't think it works for WM5. There's only one prefix dialer called long distance dialer for WM5 but it's too basic of a program.
Anyone have plans or know of plans the development of a more complete program? I currently find that there are more applications for the Palm OS interface, which I find rather strange...any other ideas on the subject?

T-Mobile rom - Caller unknown message while number is in adress book

Hi all,.. (excuse me for my bad English)
Recently I extended my NL T-Mobile contract, and bought a MDA Vario IV.
I synchronized my address book with my outlook. When some one calls me, and in the display the number is shown with a land number, Like +31555555555555, and the number in my outlook is 06555555555, it doesn't recordnise the outook contact. It then will only show the message caller unknown.
Does anyone has the same problem?
Regards
A.
Install .Net 3.5, Install Advance config, and set the number recognition to 8 instead of 11. That fixes it.
Next time please search before asking, as this has been covered several times already...

+(country code) (number) does not work with Softbank in Japan

Hi all,
I am sure I am not the first one with this problem, but I could not find any posts via the search.
I recently moved to Japan, and of course took my european Touch Pro (GSM/UMTS).
My company provided me a Softbank USIM card (with a low end standard phone which is good for nothing other than making calls).
Of course I put the USIM into my TP, as I can sync my business contacts to it using active sync (which is obvuiously not possible with the low end phone with came with the USIm card).
Now I am facing the problem, that Softbank in Japan seems not to support "+" infront of country code, so if I dial a number sync with international format (e.g. +49 511 7788855), I end up getting some announcement from Softbank, that my call could not be progressed.
After playing around, I found out I need to dial 010 49 511 7788855 to get through.
Of course I have no interest in manually changing all my synced contacts to this format, especially as it will not work as soon as I leave Japan for a business trip.
The next problem is, that for dialing local Japanese numbers (contry code +81), not even the 010 prefix does the trick. In case of local numbers I really have to dial without any country code like:
080 3456789 works
010 81 80 3456789 does not work
+81 80 3456789 does not work
As you can imagine, this situation is everything else but satisfying.
No wI am looking for any kind of propper solution (which does not include entering three different formats of phone numbers for each of my contacts).
I hoped the would be a small program that can automatically replace "+" by "010" and "+81" by "0".
If I rember correctly, I had a similar option in one of my previous HTC phones, but can not rember, which software was offering it, and can not find any similar option in my current TP ROM.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks and regards,
Check under Start > Settings > Phone > Services and see if you have a Plus Code Dialing option. If so, you should be able to choose Get Settings and change the code accordingly.
010 is only for international dialing, so local numbers should be stored as local numbers without "+".
Thanks, but in settings -> phone -> services I only have:
call barring
caller id
call forwarding
call waiting
voice mail and text messages
Regarding local phone numbers:
The problem is, that I sync my phone with our company exchange address book. The phone number format is stadard with +country code local number, I can not change that.
I mean, in Europe it is no problem to dial a number with the country code of the country you are currently in. The call will still get through.
I can not understand why Japan (or at least Softbank) does not support the same.
SoftBank (or other japanese mobile companies) simply DO NOT support this, for the reasons only they know. Its too bad, i am also from europe, and that + dialing is really benri thing. wherever you go, you dail your contacts exactly the same way, but not in japan.
Its plain STUPID if you ask me.
of course it is stupid, but I doubt the japanese mobile phone provider will change it when I complain to them.
It should be easier to find a work around.
As I said, there was an option or software in one of my previous HTC devices, where I could choose to replace + by 00.
That makes me think the + could also be replaced by 010, no?
The solution is called MagiCall.
Works perfectly.

[solved] Problem with Contacts and International Country Codes

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

6.5 Not recognizing contacts

I upgraded my spring tp2 to 6.5 a while back and now any number with a prefix 1 in front of the area code doesn't register when they call or text me. It just shows the number. On 6.1 it showed who was calling. I could just go through and change all the numbers (Used to I had to use the prefix) but I was wondering if there was a faster way.
I'm having a similar issue. When I call from my address book the phone adds a +(country code). I tried to fix it disabling and manipulating the Assited Dialing Settings but I couldn't make the + sign to dissapear. Any suggestion?
