Question: WM6 have issue dialing long numbers?

I don't know if this is a known problem, but I'll post it for everyone.
With T-Mobile UK, their voicemail number (when you press "1") consist of 15 digits, with the last 10 digit being your mobile number.
For example:
- Your number is 079 0123 4567
- T-Mobile UK VM: +44 012 79 0123 4567
So when you press "1", the device will show that it's dialing +440127901234567.
Now note the "0" above, in red font. I have 2 8525, one running WM5 and the other WM6. When I dial the VM, this is what happened:
- WM5: +440127901234567
- WM6: +44127901234567
For some reason, WM6 ALWAYS dropped the number 0 between +44 and 12, even if I dial the number above one by one using the keypad (not pressing and holding keypad "1" for VM). This cause the connection to the VM system to fail, because T-Mobile doesn't recognise the number since it is now only 14 digits instead of 15 digits.
I tried the following:
- Swapped SIM card
- Changed "Area Code" under "Contacts" (put blank, put city code, etc.)
- Checked if any PIM application (Pocket Informant) is forcing some sort area code setting
But nothing worked. ONLY with WM6 that the number "0" from the above is dropped, no matter what I do.
If you with T-Mobile UK or have to dial 15 digits number with your provider for VM or even making other calls, please let me know if you have similar issue.
The problem I am having now is making my phone useless because I cannot check my voicemail at all.

Anyone with T-Mobile UK using WM6?

I'm using WM6 with T-Mobile UK. The voicemail number I'm using is +447987627762. Which has nothing with my mobile number. Try that...

I have 3 SIM cards:
2 - PAYG (both on the TyTn)
1 - Pay Monthly (on the MDA Compact III)
If I use the number you gave, the error message ("The number to this call has been barred") also applies to ALL SIM card.
If I use the one that came from the SIM card, the error ONLY appear in the device that have WM6. I tried all SIM card on the WM6 device and the same error message appear, but not on the WM5 devices.

I have installed different kinds of WM6 ROMS (LSWV, Black, XDA) and tried this with 3 different TyTn and 3 different SIM card. Same problem.
I think I can safely say that if you use T-Mobile UK, do not upgrade to WM6 otherwise you can NOT check your voicemail.

Look at my post below. Previous idea not worth trying.

I have another idea! Try this
+4400127901234567 ADD an extra 0. I tried calling this number +440127901234567 and my phone would show +44127901234567 but when I put an extra 0 my phone showed this +440127901234567 and that is the number you want. Hope this solves it??

ANY LUCK with adding a extra ZERO to your VM number?

Yes, this works
Just add the extra zero to the number (after the +44) and it works a treat!
Cheers!
Smiffy.

Dude... you ROCK! It works!!

No name when contact calls?

I am going nuts over a minor issue that I am having. When I receive calls from my contacts their names do not show up only the number. Since I do a lot of traveling I use the international prefix for all my contacts. When I remove this and just have the number and not the international code then the name shows up when I receive a call.
Any idea anyone
Cheers,
Halldor

Try putting + instead of the 00 or other prefixes.

Yeah,
I have all numbers saved in international format too!
Sample US:
Mr. Brown has area code 215, phone# 1234567 - the correct international format for this number would be: +12151234567
Sample Germany:
Your friend has a German area code of 089 and phone# 1234567 - the correct international format would be: +49891234567
(on most area codes in Europe you ignore the "0" in the beginning)
Regardless where you are, within the US or elsewhere - you can call your contacts without making any changes when using international format! However, some of the phone providers (especially internet phone companies and calling card companies) covert numbers to a non-standard format and in that caseyou will see only the number on the phone display because of it is not identically to what you saved in your contacts! But this is really rare ... !

I had this random issue while I was using some version of AEBPlus.
Not using it now and problem dissapeard.

I use the + on all my numbers and I am not using any additional software except for PocketCM and I also removed this program and did a SR but still the same problem. Maybe it is the ROM I just flashed?

Might be it is the ROM but I doubt that! Did you get the contacts before flashing correctly on your device?
How (what format) does the number appear on your phone screen when you get an incomming call?
When you dial a contact and call him: do you have his name or his number in the display? (if second I would agree it is the ROM!)

Post upgrade question - phone number format in called id

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my JasJam from my cellular carrier's WM5 ROM to Schap's 4.20 WM6 Rom. Everything is good, however there's one annoying issue with the way that phone numbers are displayed in caller id.
The problem in Israel is that land lines have a two digit area code and cellular numbers have three digit area code. Is there a way to change the way that phone numbers are displayed in caller id? Basically, I would like to remove the parenthesis and the spaces and see the number in one string.
Thanks!

I have a similar problem. costa rica has 8 digit ph numbers with no area codes. so I get 3 digits in bracket followed by 3 more #'s - 2 numbers. very confusing. any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

have you tried changing your regional settings?

Yes I did. No luck.
Anyone else? I'm sure there's a ph format somewhere, registry edit maybe?

Caller ID Format Problems

Hello everyone, I installed RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE on my phone and it is workig great. The problem I am having is that in my country phone numbers consist of only 8 digits fotmated XXXXXXXX or XXXX-XXXX y my contacts list BUT when someone calls me his/her name does not come up, instead I get for example: (XXX)XXX-XX because the caller ID format seems to be (XXX)XXX-XXXX (expecting an area code) So I never get to se de name of the caller, instead I get a poorly readable number. How can I fix this?
TIA!

LOL, Try Moving to America, where we use these style phone numbers!

Did you try changing your Regional Settings to match the country you're in ?

Store all phone numbers in international "+" format
The key is to store all your numbers in full international format.
+CCCAANNNNNNNNNN
where CCC is the country code, AA is the area code (omiting any leading zeros in most countries) and NNNNNNNNNN is the local phone number.
For ease of use in your address book, you can space the digits out, or add parentheses or dashes, as these are ignored at dialing/matching time. It makes the numbers easier to read.
Eg. +CCC-AA-NNNNN-NNNNN, +CCC (AA) NNNNN-NNNNN would be treated the same.
All GSM phones receive the complete international designation phone numbers on incoming calls - so it will match on the full number always.
Based on your SIM, and your country's dialing rules built into the SIM, it will also match on numbers that have no country code, but have a complete local area code (including leading zero if appropriate) and complete number. This is to allow it to match on non mobile phone originated calls. I believe it will assume your local country code based on your SIM, and apply the appropriate zero stripping rules to the received caller ID to create a fully qualified international number to match on.
This also takes all the guess work out of making calls should you ever roam into another country. For example, if you live in the USA and store a number for Ireland as 01135312345678 - this will work from the USA. But, if you travel to Ireland, where the international access code is not 011 - but rather 00 - that number will fail. Storing the numbers with the "+" prefix instead of the local international access prefix allows the SIM card to do the work. The SIM card registers on the roaming provider's nerwork, and "asks" that network how to dial a "+".
Finally, the presentation of the number on screen is just a factor of the application that is displaying it. If you use the international format for your numbers, they will successfully match, and will display the number in the format in which you have stored them in your address book. If they don't match, they will display using the default number interpreting logic of whatever ROM you have loaded. For most of us here, that would be the Brighpoint USA ROM or the T-Mobile ROM - both of which try to format numbers as USA style AAA-XXX-NNNN
Hope this helps

Thank you, I entered +COUNTRY_CODE in the phone settings call options and it is working now.
Thanks a lot!!

Hi,
I think i have been messing up with the themes and otehr UI tweaks. Now i have a little problem : i the contact name or phone number doesn't show when i have an incoming call.
I might be because the font color is white and hte background is white.
Any idea how to fix that ? Which manila file or reg tweak i need to do ?
Thanks.

HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone
change #FFFFFF values to #000000 for caller id and caller number

It's strange but I have no such keys like caller ID and caller number.
