Removing area code on BA

THis may be a newb question, and i had it set up somehow while running WM2003 but i cant seem to remove the brackets on the numbers that are calling me, so i have to redo about 400 contacts just so that i can get their name on screen while they are calling me
Example:
The phone now whenever someone is calling me it shows (697)6767676 and i want to make it 6976767676,
Help!

dont fret and worry about it...
it's just a display (it's hardcoded in Windows to show the first three in parenthesis) ... the real numbers dont have the any special chars aside from p w +, et. al.

Yes i know its only a display thingamajig, although whenever i get a call from someone it wont show me their name unless i have altered the actual number with so that it contains the brackets in the contact itself :S

None of my contacts have ( ) stored in their numbers, The format I used is +country_code number and every time someone calls me with or without the country code showing it displays the name that corresponds. Example: I have have a contact named Fred Murphy with the number +965 1234567 when he calls if I am in Kuwait it shows only as 123-4567 if I am overseas it shows as +965 123-4567 both times I see his name Fred Murphy on my screen. It has always been this way for me no matter which version of windows I have run. I was not aware that it worked any other way.

You have to choose your regional settings correctly and it will disappear.
settings > system > regional settings.

or
check for duplicate phone number entries...
even though you have the name in the sim and the phone, the phone cant decide which name to show, so our phone shows only the number.

Hi, thanks.
However, on android most of these codes do not work... (e.g. Software version, Serial number, battery, firmware, etc).
Only the ones related to network operator do (e.g. redirection, barring, etc.)

a bug in WP7

I searched for this subject in the forums and didn't find anything so i'm sorry if it's already there.!!
anyway
you all know that there is an alternative way to call your customer service
which is insted of calling their number (i.e 1100) you can just write
*1100# and hit dial
a few options will appear and then you can choose any of them by inserting its number and hit OK.
the problem is
you can't show the keyboard to insert the number..
and also there is no balnk at all to fill it with the number !!
it's a basic thing in any phone.. do you think MS missed it ??

Your wp7 version?

Miss it
Yes, MS clearly miss it big time! I try this one *100# in my country for a long time and didn`t work..also in WP7, also in NoDo...I don`t know in Mango...but it wouldn`t be a surprise not to work. I hope they already did something...

tried it both on Nodo and Mango..

So, it's different from a normal call? Because in a normal call you should have a show keyboard button.

I really don't know what you are talking about.
I have the option to dail *100# which will bring up a Message that shows how much money I have left (prepaid) and it works fine just like on any other phone.
When you dail and you talk to the machine which says "press 1 to go to xxx" you can also use the keyboard to press 1 or enter any code or so.

Why not just copy/paste it the numbers from somewhere to the dialer, or make a contact and copy/paste the number in ?

Why don't you just have an entry for customer services in your phonebook? or just call them? It's easier to call 1100 than *1100#x anyway, surely?

what he means is this:
i dial *123# on my phone. it takes me to MY SPECIFIC operator's menu service. from which, on most phones, i can type 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. to access specific services.
for example, 1 allows me to check my balance. 2 allows me to activate a monthly SMS pack and takes away some money from my pay-as-you-go (prepaid) balance.
now when i type *123# it calls, and then displays the menu in the form of a toast notification (it's a screen similar to the volume up/down song change screen. you know, grey background and all.
the menu says, "Welcome to blahdyblah... enter 1 for x, 2 for y, 3 for z, etc."
BUT. now there's no way to access the SIP (the keyboard). wham, you're stuck.

it's similar to a notification bar.. but it's not a notification bar !!
you can do nothing about it..
it's depressing !!!

This is called USSD2, and Windows Phone does not support it.

It's called USSD2 Service

Did Microsoft intended to drop this service or it's just a slip..!
and does anybody know if they gonna support it in the future ?!

yeh、maybe is a big bug and problem
but don't effect china .
beacuse chinese mno don't render this receivre

I think that it's a pretty unusual service. In fact, I've never encountered it so far, just USSD(1).

im also facing this problem

This is not a bug, it's an unsupported feature.

Display Phone Keypad for Carrier Message Options

I've come to a little problem with some changes my carrier did with the way I review my line account information. It all starts by typing *222# to display the information, which a couple of weeks ago was fine, it returned a message with all the information, Account balance, Remaining minutes, etc... 'cause it's a prepaid line. The my carrier (Uff!) in Colombia, took the decision to change the system, and now instead of showing directly the information, now shows a menu with some options. Of course each option is related to a function, the first one would be to review the account information which is the one I need to check my remaining minutes in the account. The problem is... with Windows Phone (currently updated to version 7.10.8107) when you get that type of carrier messages, there's no way to display the keypad to send the number option and receive the information I'm looking for.
Now the tricky part, is there a way, through the Registry to enable the keypad when the carrier sends that message? Otherwise I'm screwed... If anyone knows how to bypass the fact that the system disables the keypad option in the options bar, would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

One thing you might be able to do is save the contact (*222#) in your address book, then put commas after it (press-and-hold on the keys to access additional keys) and add the numbers after it. That way, the phone will dial the initial number, wait (I think it waits one second per comma?) and then dial the number. No idea if this will work with a GSM shortcode (what you're using), though.

Thanks, I'll try and tell if it worked... (hope)

SMSC, PDU Encoder, I don't send mesage nexus 5

Hello. I get the message, but I cannot send. The message center number: +905598008000 please help me. SMSC part of what is to be entered? Thanks. Country:Turkey avea
I've accomplished, how is that? ı have nexus 5

Dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to Phone Information you can see the “SMSC: ” field.
Tip: DON’T PRESS UPDATE, PRESS “REFRESH” TO SEE THE CURRENT SETTING!!!
For example if actual SMSC number is: +447785016005, however inputting this into the field and hitting update just produces “update error”. The issue is that this needs to be translated into PDU format (Protocol Description Unit) and you can do that here:
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode.
For the number above, this turns out to be 0791447758100650
For some people, entering the PDU number above into your SMSC field in the testing menu and pressing “update” will have the desired effect but for me, the “update” button won’t work unless you have a “+” in front of the number which is no use at all.
The solution? Take the SIM card out and stick it in a non-android phone , go to the messageing app, settings, message centre number and enter the real number, i.e. +447785016005.
Save, exit, power off, replace SIM into Android phone, job done.
