I want to be able to add all calls from work to ring special without adding a thousand contacts to my address book ( or one contact with a thousand numbers) so, for instance the phone number is (555)333-xxxx.
I know that ANY call from prefix 333 is my work calling..
Is there a way to setup a contact to accept this? or is there an app for that?
( im not an original thinker, cuz ive thought of it means someone else has and has probably provided a solution)

hi dudez,
Sometimes when i got call i dont see name of call just show me number, There is a fix for this problem?
Thanx anyway,
ZPDY
that means the person calling you is not in your address book
I don't think zdpy means a person not in his address book!
I have noticed the same thing - intermittently.
The individual ringtones of CallerID aren't working at all on my Magician (I ALWAYS get the default ringtone), and sometimes even the name is not displayed.
I suspect this happens because I seem to have too many contacts (>600, overall >1500 phone numbers)...
I have been removed CallerID and still sometime show me only number with no name even the number store in my addressbook.
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?
Is it possible to enter something in the contacts that can be used to catch:
1) Calls that have Caller-ID, but do not match an entry in Contacts (Unknown)
2) Calls that have Caller-ID, but is set to Private
3) Calls that do not have Caller-ID (not sure this still exists anymore...)
Had a Symbian and seem to recall that leaving the Name field empty made that contact entry responsible for determining the ring that would be heard. Tried it but no joy
I am interested in something like this too. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a contract with my cellphone company that provides me besides normal cellphone service, unlimited calls to a group of people in my country, all people in that group are identified with an aditional short phone number, so we have two phone numbers in our SIM, the normal one and the short one.
Happens that we use the short number to call ourserlves in the group (we could also use the normal number, but that'd be charged in my invoice as a normal call), but the normal phone number is always shown in our phones as incoming number when receiving a call from the group or outside, and that's how it is saved in call log.
So, in my contacts list, each contact has the two numbers added (I've set the normal phone number as cell phone number, and the short number as work phone).
Now the problem, the way smartdialer in WinMo5 and later work is to show the last call (made/missed/received) of every contact, then contacts list (if contact not already shown before), and after receiving a call from the group in my case the normal number is shown, and there's no way to use the short number to reply, unless I take the long path and go to contacts list and choose the contact and number manually; usually I'm in a hurry and just forget and call the contact using smartdialing and happens that the normal number is dialed.
I had no problem using smardialing with WinMo2003 as there was an option to choose a default number when there were multiples numbers on a contact, so, no matter what number a contact used to call me, when using smartdialing the default number was always chosen, I see no equivalent in WinMo5 or later.
Now, is there a way to replicate that behavior from WinMo2003? (registry/patch/etc.), thanks for taking the time to read.
P.D. the same can be said when we have multiples numbers in a contact (work/home/etc.) and receive calls from some of them but just want to reply to just one of them.
Hi,
I've had my Nexus S for a few months now and I'm generally pleased with it.
I have an annoying issue that a custom ringtone for a specific phone number of one of my contacts doesn't work.
Other contacts work just fine, the other number for that specific contact fires up the custom ringtone.
All my contacts are Google-contacts which I assume is not very unique.
This has happened on the stock ROM as well as on custom ROMs, and is still recurring even after I unlocked the bootloader which wiped all the phone data.
Anyone else has seen this problem?
Any idea what could cause it/how to fix it?
Thanks,
Niv
is one of these issues:
- no caller id
- the caller name in your address book has weird characters that the system doesn't like
- the caller number is not matching the address book
- the ring tone name contains weird characters that the system doesn't like
- something else even more mysterious than the typical 4 scenario above

Let me rule out some of them:
- The caller id is working and identifying the number (and contact by name) correctly
- The caller number contains only numbers (no dashes or something else)
- The caller name has only English characters
- The ringtone doesn't have anything weird in the name. Also I tried other ringtones (that work for other contacts) with no luck
I'm pretty much stumped by it...
is the name of the person very long?
trying to think of any other typical issues, but i'm kinda running out of ideas
this is a weird on indeed.
does it work if you assign it a sound from the list of build in ring tones?
Eureka!
Found the problem eventually...
I had this contact defined multiple times (for some unknown reason). The default stock contacts application doesn't show all the contacts. After I installed Go contacts I saw that contact and deleted the duplicates, now it works fine
