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
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
Hello,
I have this question from long time and hoping to get some help here.
I use calling card for international calls ( cheap ) but in this process I need to switch back and forth between active call and contacts to enter phone numbers on the dial pad during active calls. Now the problem is, when I switch back from contacts to active call and back to contacts again, it does not show me the contact details I was previously viewing instead it shows me the contact list. It is very irritating as its very difficult to remember the 10 digits numbers and dial it in one go. Please give some good idea to switch back and forth between call and contact while keeping the contact details open. My previous Symbian devices were excellent in this area. but I am sure android must have similar functionality...
Thank you
You can simply add the calling card number before your international number with a comma (,) in between. For example you can create your contact as below:
1800xxxyyyy,44xxxyyyzzzz
And just call that number thats it

sounds cool...but it asks me to select couple of options before actually arriving at the option where I enter the actual international number. Or can I try entering all the options seperated by commas and it will work like 1800xxxx,2,1,4,numberxxx
thanks for your reply though...
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.
[HOW-TO] Reenter your lost SMSC number
Fix not sent SMS messagesHey, you just flashed an ICS ROM and found out that you can't send SMS messages anymore? You flashed back to Gingerbread and it did not help?
In this case probably your SMSC number has been deleted. I've had that problem too and found several webpages that said "Do this", "Do that" and finally you shall enter your SMSC number and tap on update. Well, indeed that's basicly it, but there's one problem: You will get an update error, because you can't simply enter "+4912345..." into the little box.
"But how can I update my SMSC number?"
Well, for this you have to do a little step before you can do that. The number has to be converted into the PDU format. To do that go to this page: http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode and look for "String sms message". There is a little editbox which says: "SMSC +019000001". Enter your own SMSC number here and klick on "Convert" below. The big textbox "Hexadecimal PDU Message" will update and will show something similar like this:
Code:
AT+CMGW=24
[U][B]0791349124722037[/B][/U]11000A9210299232900000AA0CC8F71D14969741F977FD07
The first 16 numbers which are underlined are your converted smsc number.
"All right and were shall I enter it?"
Open your phone app and enter "*#*#4636#*#*" after that a new window will open. Select "Phone Information" and scroll down. There will be a little box "SMSC ". Enter your converted SMSC number (in this example: 0791349124722037) and tap on the left button which says "Update".
"That's all?"
Yes you're done, but how about leaving a little comment?
I have created this thread because while searching with google I have found tons of websites that did not mention the PDU conversion and so I have thought it is good to have it here...
Reserved. Just in case...
thanks... worked great for me... nice guide.
Hello, I tried following your guide, but I have not solved the problem of sending MMS. But now I can not set the old SMSC number. Can you help?
EDIT: Thanks, but I solved by putting the SIM in an old phone and restore code SMSC.
Excuse my English.
I dont have a galaxy but i keep running into this issue.
Plus im on sprint, and when i go into the phone to update the SMSC number i keep getting update error.
I have been searching but i can not find anything that has helped.

Thank you so much i was pulling my hair out over this. I had the message center number but had no idea about the PDU conversion. It's also worth noting that you can check the PDU is correct by pasting the first 16 characters into "Hexadecimal PDU message"(its ABOVE the smsc box) and pressing convert. It will convert it back and you should see your message centre number you entered down in the SMSC box in the "Readable PDU message" box. If not, you've copied the wrong digits. It's Best to copy ONLY the first 16 chars as you are checking only your SMSC.
Dude Thanks so much for this, Vodafone have been trying to figure this out and knew nothing about the conversion and then tell me my phones broken !!! Shows you how much they know !!! Much Appreciated my friend really good help !!
Problem
This doesn't work for me. Maybe because i am in Greece. Maybe i have to change the Receiver on this page.I don't know, help me
Try using GoSMS. Go to Settings > Advanced > Enable customized SMSC number and put your carrier's SMSC number in. Did the trick for me and it even sticks after uninstalling GoSMS!
May Be this will work

Hi Buddy,
Many thanks for this thread.
I tried the steps but didn't help me on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos (GT-I9082) upgraded to CM 11-20141008 build.
Neither settings are not stored nor after updating the code SMS sending works.
I have verified the SMSC no.
Request priority advice.

Friends,
I got the issue fixed.
The SMSC code is to be entered in the PDU encoder as + Country Code & SMSC number e.g. +91991xxxxxxx in the box under header "String sms message". Select 7bit "Alphabet size". Remove the text message . Thereafter hit "Submit" button. The hexadecimal PDU message created will be something like "AT+CMGW=8
0791198922700800110000910000AA00".
Use first (from left) eleven (11) digits from this code and enter in the phone.
Many Thanks for support and guidance by all and most importantly this site for rescue.
Regards,
//Ramakant
All of these advice on smsc is wrong. All you do, is enter the damn smsc number in quotes, PDU is not necessary at all.

Dude near 2 hours on the phone with str8 talk and countless days past since I've searched n searched... I would lick your nut sack if I didn't like ***** so much...my comment will probably be deleted. But in any case to ANYONE THAT CANT USE THE *#*#4636#*#* OR THAT DOESNT HAVE THE MESSGAE CENTER NUMBER IN THEIR SETTINGS IN THE MESSAGE APP THEN FEAR NOT BC ITS IN your network mode settings I tried several codes none took me there. So I download force LTE from the play store or anyone of them will do that I've used... and that big ass SMSC that says updated refresh well that's it it's right there. And I'm supposed to know alot about phones and computers but this gave me nightmares....anyways thank you to the o.p. who probably won't see this anyways but your method needs updated a tad. With a 3rd option to find that setting. Jus download an app for LTE switching from Google or apkpure or wherever. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
