I have some friends with many mobiles (private, work etc) and I never know which number goes where. Is it possible to specify info for each number?
I've tried to just add text after the number but that will be included when dialing so that doesnt work.

I cannot dial the local numbers that I have in the contact list. All my contacts phone numbers have been made on the PC with outlook and then sycronized them on the Kaiser. All the numbers have been made selecting the country code in outlook and appear in the format +country code then (areacode) then number. Unfortunately I can only dial the international ones and not the local. When I dial the local numbers a AM says that the number has not been assigned. The same number dialed via Skype works just fine.
If I remove the +sign and leave the 1 (I am in Canada) the number dials no problem. Same thing if I dial just the area code and number.
The problem is driving me nuts. I cannot make 2 set of contacts one for Skype and one for the regular calls. I also travel a lot and I need to dial the numbers from different countries without have to change anything.
I looked on the net for suggestions but did not find any answer.
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers

Any one having my problem:
My Diamond is not recongnizing phone numbers from my contact or basically the caller ID is not working for some reason. Help - this is really annoying......
Thanks in advance
I didn't receive my diamond yet but from previous experience with some phones it s a matter of recognizing the number of digits in a phone which is country dependent.... like the iphone for exemple ... i had a terrible experience with that ... I had to put for each contact two numbers , one with the country code (+212 .....) and a second without... that way he could recognize the incoming caller ID in both calls and sms....
you should try doing that and tell us if it works!!!
By default it matches on the last 8 digits of the phone number. If phone numbers are less than 8 digits in your country then it may not work properly.
You can use advanced config to edit the number of digits.
It would help to find related issues on this forum, in stead of opening new topics. Every day a full new page (or more) of new topics appear, lots of which are duplicates.

Supplying people with more information would also help to solve the problem easier. Which ROM, what exactly happens and when... etc.
Hi,
I have several contacts that have numbers containing P (the pause), mainly for dialing through voip services providing cheap international calls such as dialnow.com or nonoh.net who provide a landline number that you can call from your mobile
The problem is that the phone does not match the full number with the contact, it only matches the first part up to the P. What I mean is, I have multiple numbers starting with the same landline, then P, then their number, like so:
0123453335P078127493041# - Foo Bar
0123453335P078924134212# - Joe Doe
0123453335P...
You get the picture. What happens is that the phone always identifies any of those numbers, regardless of which I call, only as "Foo Bar" (or which ever is first in the contacts list). It's quite annoying as it gets registered as Foo Bar everywhere: e.g. in the call history, while the call is in progress etc and only the first part of the number is displayed. Another problem is that if I use this kind of contact as a favorite in the People page in TouchFLO 3D, and I try to call it straight from the People page, then only the landline number is dialed, the part with P and the rest of the number is not sent at all ...
I would like it to be able to do a full match on the number, not just the first part up to P, so that it appears correctly in the call history, during call and to be able to call such a number from the People page in TouchFLO 3D.
Any fix for this?
Cheers
bump?
anyone has any idea of what I could try at least?
would a different dialer work? anything?
so many replies ...
I have found a workaround myself ... if you replace the P with a , (comma) then you will get a full match; maybe someone else wants that behaviour.
I have the same problem but no luck with comma...
What have you done? one number with p and the other with comma? that should work but if we have more than 2 ...
By the number of answers you got... i'm sure it will be complicated to solve this one
I solved this problem by sticking a space before the p
P works for me. I use it with a prefix number for 0800 numbers so that the call is part of my free mins.
Just spotted that you use a capital P. I use a small p. Might make a difference.
Thanks everyone.. it looks like that this depends on the dialler program used.
For me that solutions were not working but then I've updated my ROM (with new dialer) and it started to work.
Thanks a lot.
I have Nite 5 SM-N9208 Dual Sim and all my contacts from google account
Whenever I receive an incoming call, half the time the the caller ID doesn't work and only numbers are shown.
plz some one can help me to fix it
I had this issue with my dual SIM note 4.
I don't know the reason for the inconsistency but I suspect it's the carrier's settings on different cell towers (might be wrong)...anyway, you just have to save the number in the different formats under the same contact.
e.g. john doe -
1) 555-5555
2) (3 digit country code)-555-5555
3) +1-(3 digit country code)-555-5555
Strange that dual SIMs aren't 'intelligent' enough to recognize that they are all the same phone number.
This problem seems to be as old as Android itself.
A little searching and it looks like the problem lies in the number matching required in the different ROM's
Contacts are stored within Contacts Provider. One of the attribute for contact is a "min_match"
attribute which stores a part of the whole number (from right to left) that has to be used when matching Caller ID to
contact. The length of the min_match attribute is defined in the telephony framework.
It is good practice to keep the MIN_MATCH length to max 7 (typically it takes 6 numbers from the right
+ 1 number from local prefix - for our example above min_match would be: 2xxxyyy
However, some official ROMs have the MIN_MATCH constant too high making it impossible to match
numbers stored in local format to full caller ID received from operator. (It was 11 in my case!!!)
(+421 902 xxx yyy != 0902 xxx yyy)

Most of the solutions require root which i don't have right now, leaving the only solution to have 2 phone No entries for each of my contacts.
Hoping someone can come up with something a little more slick!
I'm trying to find a way to show business contacts' names when they call me from a range of numbers. Due to all of the spam calls I get, I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number/name.
For example, my doctor's office main number is xxx-yyy-0500. When they call me, their number has the same prefix and exchange, but the last numbers can be 0490-0510. I'd like to use wildcards to recognize and show the doctor's name for any and all of those numbers.
Has anyone done this before and can share their profile/task?
Let me try again. I'm trying to find a way to match the first 6 or more digits of an incoming call to an existing contact to account for the multiple numbers they may call me from. Maybe reading the phone number into an array to compare. Something like this for example?
Phone Ringing
If C:ANY or C:ANY(1-6)
Say Incoming call from %CNAME
End If
