Hello,
I didn't find immediatly what i was looking for so here's the question:
From my work i received a phone a couple of days ago. When i want to use it for private calls and private texts, i need to a number 8 as prefix before the numbers. In my contactlist i changed all the private numbers and for a moment i thought everything was working well, until i saw the phone log.
When i answer a message in the message-thread, the phone replies automatically to the number the phone received from the network. It doesn't use the number with prefix. So this means that i'm not sms-ing in private.
I know there are some apps who add a prefix to number when your calling... Do they exist to for SMS-ing? Or are they easy to create?
thanks in advance

Hi,
I have 2 numbers on my phone, one is my work number and the other is my private number. Incoming calls that are received through my private number appear with a prefix of '888'. I'm looking for a tool which would allow me to use a different ringtone for all incoming calls from numbers starting in '888' so I can distinguish between private and work calls (and mentally prepare myself accordingly - ie, stay in bed when a work call is received )
Is there such a program available?
Cheers
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.
Well.... I got a phone call from a private number but the number showed then as soon as i was about to answer it came up as private number. Then i called my phone from my house number which is meant to be hidden by british telecom it said Home on the answer / ignore screen then went to private number.
Is their a registry hack or some sort of patch to show the number even though its private?

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
hi all,
I've been getting a lot of telemarketing calls. Unfortunately it's hard to block them all since they spoof the # they are calling from. But a big chunk of them have no number at all, they just show up as unknown.
So i went into settings, call, call reject,
I set call reject mode to 'reject calls on list' and in the rejection list i checked the option to reject all private numbers. That doesn't seem to have helped though since i just got another call from 'unknown'.
There are no numbers in the rejected number list. I've actually just been adding the spam numbers to a 'blocked' contact i created and selected the option to send all calls from that contact to voicemail.
Is there something else i have to do to block unknown callers?
