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
Giovanni
can anyone tell me what exactly is google voice

so you need a phone which has web in it?
No, not necessarily. You can receive calls with your Google Voice number on any phone at all.
To dial out with your Google Voice number on the go, the easiest way is with a data connection on your cell phone. Any phone can use the Google Voice mobile website, but it works best if you can get an app for your phone to dial directly. The Android app is great. There's a Blackberry app for it, and the iPhone version was blocked from the Apple app store.
But dig this--- with just a texting plan you can still dial out from your cell phone, using your Google Voice number. If you set your Google Voice number to forward texts to your mobile, here's how it works ....
You give your new Google Voice number to your friend John. Let's just say that John isn't in your Google contacts yet ... and John's number is (123) 456-7890. When he texts you, the text you receive on your phone comes from a (406) number, that always corresponds to that person.
The first text you get will look something like this.
From: +1-406-486-6339
Message: +1-123-456-7890 - hey man, it's John
Text your reply to that (406) number, and it will go to his phone, and show your Google Voice number. And here's a nice bonus--- dial that (406) number, and it will call him, showing your Google Voice number.
Once you add John to your Google contacts, your texts will look like this:
From: +1-406-486-6339
Message: John - so should i save this as your new number?
You can save the (406) number in your phone contacts to quickly text/call someone with GV.

I have Sygic Aura v11.2.5 installed in my galaxy note n7000 clone. Everything works fine but text to speech street name greyed out, only standard road numbers available. Any idea/help would be very much appreciated, thank you.
Hi Everybody!
Wondering if anyone has a clue on how to edit the phonetic name in HTC people?
I love to use google now when im driving for messages, calls, but it doesnt recognise my SO's name, hears it as "carly" instead of "karlie"
Thanks!

Not sure if you still have this problem, but I found that if you use Google Contacts with your desktop web browser, you can set the phonetic name there and Google Now will then recognise it when you do voice dialing even though HTC People doesn't show it.
I used this for when calling my wife, but still keeping her name as the contact. I added the phonetic name "my wife" in one field (first or last). Now I just say "call my wife mobile" and it works perfectly.
Any app to bypass that? Voice bugs out on me a lot and I find it easier and faster to type first # of address or letter of a destination for it to pop up.
Thanks!
