Append Area Code to Phone Number

I have a table with about 30,000 rows and of that, 1200 have phone numbers without an area code. I would like to append the area code to these phone numbers. What's the quickest and easiest way to do this? I've already identified the rows needing the update. The column datatype is just "VARCHAR2 (20 Byte)". Thanks!

Frank, taking what you wrote, this is what I came up with. What do you think? Thanks.
Update Vendors
Set Phone_Number = '972' || Phone_Number
Where length(Phone_Number) < 10;You've got the idea. That's fine.
Whenever you post code, even if it's only 3 lines, format it to make it easy to read and understand.
For example:
Update      Vendors
Set      Phone_Number     = '972' || Phone_Number
Where      length (Phone_Number)     < 10; When posting any formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(all small letters, inside curly brackets} before and after each section of formatted text, to keep the spacing.

1 + area code and phone number

All phone numbers are coming up 1 + area code and phone number. Is there a way to turn off the "1+" and just have area code and phone number?

In areas that have more than one area code for the same geographic area, 10 digit dialing with area code is mandatory. 1+ dialing is required from land lines, but the 1+ is optional from mobile phones.
"What is an Area Code Overlay?
An overlay is the addition of another area code to the same geographic region as an existing area code. An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code.
What Will be the New Dialing Procedure?
To complete calls from a landline phone, the new dialing procedure requires callers to dial 1 + area code + telephone number. This means that all calls in the 310 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using 1+ area code + telephone number.
To complete calls from a cellular or mobile phone, callers may dial the area code + telephone number or 1 + area code and telephone number whenever placing a call from a phone number with an overlay area code."
Since it doesn't matter using a mobile phone, I guess the databases have included the 1+ for completeness and all users (mobile and land line) can be accommodated.

How to add "1" in front of area code and phone number?

The phone numbers I imported into my iPhone from my Address Book don't have a "1" in front of them. So now, when I'm out of town and want to dial a number from Contacts, an automated message from my carrier tells me the number I'm dialing is long distance and requires a "1" at the beginning. On my old Treo, I could add a "1" in the "Dialing" set-up menu. The system knew enough to ignore it for local calls but enabled it for long distance calls. Is there no way to do this on iPhone? Many thanks.

This is one of the many lacking iPhone features that I've taken for granted in other basic cell phones for years. Ironically, the iPhone's weakest part is the phone.
Rogers will put through a call that has been dialed without the "1", but only after listening to a lengthy message that encourages you to program all of your phone numbers with the "1".
Sure, you can prepend a "1" before all phone numbers in your address book, however, that will cause problems if you share your address book with your computer and use an autodialer on your computer, because most land lines won't tolerate the "1" before a local number.

HT1040 In iPhoto I created a book I wanted to purchase. When I did so and entered my billing information, it would not let me enter my full area code or phone number. It would not let me enter the last two digits of my area code or my phone number. Help p

Please help answer this question!

Also make sure you have the correct Print Store selected in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane:

I keep getting calls from non existing area codes and phone numbers. They are never the same number twice. How do I stop this?

About a week ago I started getting phone calls on my cell phone from numbers that do not exist, including the area codes. I can not report these to the Do Not Call list because the area code is non existent. I'm getting these calls all the time now and never from the same number twice so there's no point in blocking them. If I answer I may or may not get a person who has an accent from India so heavy that I can't understand what they are saying. This is getting to the point where I just want to cry I'm so frustrated. Anyone else having this issue or does anyone know how to stop it?
Thank you

I'm sorry that you are having all these troubles. I have sent you a private message.

Synergy bug: incorrectly interprets same phone number with different area codes as one number

I sync with Google. I have a contact that has two numbers for which the exchange and the number are the same, but the area codes are different, e.g., (517) 123-4567 and (773) 123-4567. On the Pre, the page for that contact will only show one of those numbers.
If I touch Edit, both numbers are in there. Of course, that doesn't help, because you can't dial from the Edit page.
Sprint tech support was unable to resolve it, and I tried to contact Palm Support via chat, but the LogMeIn Rescue module required for the chat wouldn't download for me either in IE or Firefox. Any idea how to get this resolved?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I had unbelieveable problems with the synergy feature trying to synch my contacts from Google. Palm (or I guess HP now) won't admit it publically, but the synergy feature acts in ways they have no clue of how to resolve.
I suggested to them that they should have an Synergy On/Synergy Off choice for the users. They said they had no plans to do that.
I switched to a DROID2 Smartphone from Motorola, and now everything is working perfectly!!
Love the new phone.

I am unable to change my credit card number, because my profile shows United States therefore it does not accept the phone area code, and zip number, because I live in Switzerland. Please inform me how to do it. Many thanks.

I am unable to change my credit card number because my apple profile shows me as a resident of the United States, although I live in Switzerland. Consequently I cannot edit my area code, zip number, State info, etc. Please advise me how to do it. Many thanks.

Hello Luis,
To update your billing information, you would need to change your iTunes Store country to be able to enter the information for Switzerland. I found an article with the steps to update this:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Add country code to phone number automatically

Does iCloud Contacts have the ability to add the country code automatically in front of phone numbers:
e.g. if a phone number is stored as (212)555-3270; does iCloud have a batch update option where it can convert the number to +1(212)555-3270; The user may allow this automatically OR ask to be prompted.

Is there a way for me to automatically add the country
code before the phone number for all the contacts
that do not have it?
First, you must have stored somewhere what country each phone number is for. Without this, no automatic method will work.
The obvious place is in the "country" field of each Address Book entry, but keep in mind that you can have multiple addresses & multiple phone numbers for each contact, & it is possible one contact could have addresses and/or phone numbers in more than one country. This makes the problem much more difficult, particularly if there are different labels for different ones of each. (IOW, you could have an "office," a "direct," a "mobile," & a "home" phone, & a "work," a "home" & maybe even a "cabin" or "2nd home" address, not necessarily all in the same country or with an obvious address/phone relationship.)
You also would need to test each phone number to make sure it did not already have a country code entered (to avoid double codes), & some way to mark or otherwise handle entries without a country entry in any address field, with uncertain address/phone relationships, etc.
It is possible to do all this with Applescript, but frankly, even if you already knew a fair amount about scripting, it would probably take you longer to write, debug, & verify the results of applying the script than it would to go through 300 entries by hand, particularly if you use the search box or smart groups to go through the contacts one country at a time.
However, no matter what you try, you can guard against data loss by backing up the Address Book before you start (File -> Backup Address Book) & restoring from the backup if something goes wrong.

Phone doesn't accept SMS Code for phone number ver...

I've tried to get a Skype support rep. to solve my problem with no positive results. I'm now turning to the skype Community for help.
W want to have my phone number appear on the person's phone that I call. Skype says you can do this by setting up Called ID. They will send you a verrification code by SMS message. The problem is I have SMS messaging turned off on my phone, so it does not accept SMS messages, so I cannot receive the Verification Code. Has anyone been able to get past this obsticle? Can they send me an email with the verification code?

Sorry NMGuy,
I cannot help, as I am in the same situation as you are, and am joining my voice to yours.
I don't get SMS on my Iphone, so I cannot receive and enter the code for the caller ID option.
Skype assumes that everybody uses SMS?, and it is very difficult to get in touch with their customer support!
Anybody has a workaround?

Change Area Code But Keep Number After Moving

I moved from Tennessee to Louisiana a few years ago and opted to keep my Tennessee phone number to make it easy for my friends back home to keep in touch. Circumstances have changed and I now need to change to a Louisiana area code. I would like to minimize the inconvenience for my contacts by changing the area code only. I have checked to see if my number with the Louisiana area code is available and it is. Will Verizon allow me to make this change?

Hello StangSalie,
I do agree that would be great if that could be done. However, We are unable to search for specific numbers. You will provide your desired area code and a list prefix options will populate ex. XXX-XXX. The last four digits of the number are not present until you confirm you would like to change the number. Therefore, we can try to get as close as possible, but there is no way to enter in the desired number you would like. You can look at the prefix options on your MyVerizon site as well by signing in and navigating to Account>Plan. I hope this helps you.
