I have my new HTC Trophy set up to sync with Exchange/Outlook. I'm in Norway, so my contacts phone numbers are stored in Outlook in this format: +47 12345678
Now, when in Norway and getting incoming calls from 12345678, the phone does not recognize the caller.
Is this a known issue? Any workarounds other than removing +47 from all my contacts?
I'm having the same issue!
Anyone know how to setup WP7 to recognize not only the full number?
Nothing new here?
i noticed that in the windows live contacts section you can specify which country the contact is in,..would that help?
i don't know..i'm not having these problems to be honest!
In outlook you store the phone number with +47 but when you dial the number, you want to dial it without the +47
Is that correct?
I have had similar issues with other phones with extra "0" in between region/country/city codes, for example in Germany.
I have a couple of ideas:
1. There is the International Dialing assist function. I have no idea what it does other than what's described undertneat it... Does that do anything helpful?
2. What if you create a separate Windows Live account, and add in /copy your contacts, without the +47; then link the two contacts. The contacts will appear as just 1 contact in your phone, and you'll have the option to call with or without the +47
So here is the deal:
I have set all my contacts mobile numbers using the right local area code (for example 04111-8181-8181) so when I’m traveling to other city the call is routed correctly. But when someone call me I receive the number without the area code (example 8181-8181) and the phone did not match this with the contact.
So the problem is not when I'm dialing the number but when I receive an incoming call from my contacts.
I don't know what this International Assist do too but is turned On.
And hboos, I didn't find where I do set up this Country in Live Contacts but I don't think that this is the problem since all of my most important contacts are coming from Outlook.
Thanks
I store all my contacts like this one: +49123456 without any spaces. My HD7 recognizes them all. Perhaps you have to remove the space?
Well, if removing the spaces/formatting doesn't work, you can always go with my other suggestion. Create a separate address book in a Windows Live account with the incoming CID number, and link the two contacts on WP7 (open contact 1, click the chain link at the bottom, click contact 2). WP7 is even smart enough to suggest you likely links.
Talys, this suggestion lead me to another question: Is there one button to link all my contacts or I need to go one by one (because I have 1200+ contacts).
I'll try to remove the spaces.
Just an update, didn't work removing all the spaces
I've got the same problem. Living in Norway, syncing with Exchange/Outlook and storing all my phone numbers with a +47 prefix. I'm sure creating a windows live contact for each of my Exchange/Outlook contact and link them would work. But with 800+ contacts, the thought of maintaining two lists doesn't sound like a feasible solution for me.
I've tried the following.
Using a 0047 prefix instead of the +47. Same problem.
Removing any spaces that Outlook add automatically. Same problem
Using a windows live contacts instead of Outlook/Exchange contacts. Same problem.
The best solution I've come up with so far, is to store all my Outlook/Exchange contacts with two numbers. One without the prefix and one with. This isn't really working either I like to store mobile number where they belong.
However, everything seams to work as expected with SMS/MMS messages. The +47 prefix doesn’t cause any problems what so ever.
Now with some developers already getting access to WP7 registry I think it's a matter of time to find the entry to edit

I don't think there's a button to automatically link your contacts.... that's a lot of contacts to link! But you only need to link the ones that are important for Call Display, right? So the list would be smaller?
i always have the same problem on wm6 and had was to edit the registry caller ID match the default is 8 so if you change it to 6 or 7 then it will be ok..so its just to get access to the wp7 registy to change that setting

Sorry to bring that again but that's THE POINT!! We need to hack the registry to edit this.
Anyone have done this?

no....there is no access YET to the registry or file system
try this reg key
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Have you tried Settings -> Applications -> phone and International assist - On?

I don't think this is the problem, or if it is, the default value is higher than 8 as all phonenumbers in Norway has 8 digits. 11 if you also count the +47.
In any case, works fine for me using Telia in Sweden - I have numbers stored in a variety of ways including +46 (0123) 12345 as well as +4612312345 and they all seem to show who's calling. Could be it's operator dependant somehow?
I have the same problem, my contacts are synced from Google. Country Slovenia, format +386 31xxxxxx. Number does not link to name of the contact. Tried Caller ID fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971, but problem remains. Can someone try and see if it works for him?
Hey guys,

Its pretty annoying that i have to disable wifi in order for me to make a call.... or is there a way to disable this?
I dont have a sip account set up and i dont want to set one up anyway.
Im using oxygen 2.01 on my htc desire
Thanks
Aw nobody can help? Am i missing something?
Hello guys,
recently bought the htc one x, my first android phone and absolutely loving it!
Loved the way different apps could work together and how my contacts were merged together with their facebook accounts an skype status.
My question is, I know I can call the contact via skype (but this is to their cell phone number, which you have to pay skypecredits for) but i would like to have the possibility to start a voice chat when they are online, I have been looking a while but i think this functionality is just not available right now.
Is there a way to make this work?
Kind regards

I would imagine that you want to make sure that Skype syncs your contacts and then merge them with your existing contacts using the linking tool. After that, it should recognize them by skype name, rather than default to their cell number.
Hi,
I've recently upgraded to Marshmallow (6.12.401.4) and while everything is working well, I've noticed that on the Internet calling section if you add a SIP account, it no longer gives you an option to prompt if you want to make an internet call anymore.
Does anyone know how to either get this option back (without downgrading) or manually trigger an internet call if I want to make one?
Currently the options look in the attachment. In the past, there was a third option 'Ask for every call'.
Would be great if anyone knows what to do as I require SIP accounts to be used sometimes. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have configured the native VoIP client with my SIP account and I'm connected to the service. While I get incoming calls and enabled the VoIP Account for inbound and outbound calls I can't select or choose to call someone with the VoIP account. Only Sim 1 and Sim 2 appear in the caller. Even when I select it as primary account to call.
Can anyone help me with that strange issue ..I have the same problem also on a CM13 phone. Even Client is connected and configured I can't call someone with the SIP account not even the test/check number.
Thanks
You have to set up a contact with a 'sip phone number' under SIP/internet call [further down on a new contact's page] and use that when calling. AFAIK the dialer does not support the entering of sip numbers.

Has anyone else got this to work please? When I set up a new contact, I don't see any input field for SIP/internet call. The telephone field only has the usual options: mobile, home, work other, and custom.
I'm running Oxygen 5.0.6 on the OPO 3T. Many thanks.

It is there. First name, then below that company, then phone no. and then SIP. You are searching in the wrong place viz. under phone no.
If you are using the Google Contacts app, I don't know whether it is available there. I am on the AOSP Contacts ver. 1.7.31

I'm using the native contacts app (v.2.2.0) on Oxygen OS and the SIP field is definitely not there. Adding a new contact gives me the following fields, in order: Saving to; Name; Phonetic name; Company; Title; Phone; Email; Address; Website; Notes.

Then that is the issue. I am on Nitrogen Pie and Contacts app is built in. Install Google Contacts and see whether you get this field.
