Do i have to store multiple variations of the SAME number for caller id to work properly?

i am in trinidad and tobago, using the TSTT/bmobile network. i have a brand new factory unlocked iphone4 from the UK.
all my contacts are stored as +1868XXXXXXX.
with sms, i get the name matched to caller id.
with calls however i'm having a problem. carriers in my country send the caller id for incoming calls randomly in several different formats (+1868XXXXXXX; 1868XXXXXXX, 868XXXXXXX; or XXXXXXX).
does this mean that i must have all four variotions of the same number saved for EACH contact???
why doesn't the iphone match the numbers backwards like almost EVERY other phone that i have owned in the past?
is there no other solution to this problem? from what is posted in the article below, it seems like only solution #4 works:

i've read that there is a 'jailbreak fix'. i don't even know what jailbreaking means, but is that the only option that i have to explore?
this is a SERIOUS shortcoming of this phone. has anyone found any other solution to this problem?

jasonnPOS,
you seam to have had the exat same problem I am having now. Have you solved it?
The link you send in your post :
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2326
As I think you already noticed doesn't solve the problem it merly duplicates the numbers in each contact. One with +and country code and one without that...
There has to be another solution...

  • Extension mobility - can i have 2 extension mobility profiles with the same extension for a 7970 phone and a 7975 phone?

    extension mobility  - can i have 2 extension mobility profiles with the same extension for a 7970 phone and a 7975 phone? thanks

    Yes, or simply configure 1 UDP and default device profile for the other one.
    EDIT: and actually with those models, you should be able to use just one

  • How can I combine multiple variations of the same library?

    While I have become accustomed to the new Library format/function there are still things that boggle my mind.  Case in point is that I now somehow have multiple versions of the same event showing up although I didn't create them.  And there is also a combination of 2 separate events that I just don't understand.  My current main concern/question is how to combine the duplicitous events?:
    At the top you'll see "Perlick" as the Library and "Beer Cooler" as the Event.  Then down below there is the "Perlick 20140502_1515_CDT".  When I opened the media drive that contains the Perlick event I found a total of 3 "extra" libraries with various long titles as the one just listed.  So, my question is can I somehow combine all of this into one, all-inclusive Library and if so, how?
    Thanks in advance...

  • How to store multiple edits of the same file

    When I edit photos I typically create several versions of the same photo. The first edit I will end the filename with an "x". The second edit I will end with a "y", etc. For a black and white edit the file name ends with "bw". An edited version scaled down for sharing will typically end with it's long side dim i.e. IMG_2345_960.jpg. I'm new to Lightroom and it looks like only one version is stored in the data base. Can multiple versions be saved in the catelog? How would I set my version system up in Lightroom? Thank You.

    You can also use "snapshots".  Snapshots are saved and when you open a RAW file just select the snapshot you want and output the image. 

  • We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

    Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

    Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

  • How do I purchase multiple copies of the same title for my class of students to download?

    I need to purchase 60+ copies of the same title to use in my classroom. Normally my school purchases paperback copies of books, but now that I all of my students have iPads, I would like to purchase the eBook and then have them download it. Any ideas on how best to do this?

    What version of iPhoto?
    The general process is to select the photo and print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize and under settings selec multiples copies of a photo (the preview will reflect this choice) and click print to print, make any printer specific selections and click print to print

  • How to use multiple languages at the same time for spell checking?

    I use two different languages all the time and words are mostly so different (English and Finnish) that I could have spell checking on for both languages at the same time.
    Now it seem to allow to select only one language at the time and I have to switch back and fort zillion of times per day.

    Thanks for the quick answer.
    The Dictionary Switcher doesn't seem to work with Finnish language, it doesn't detect it at all to be one of the choices although in the Firefox context menu Languages -> Finnish/Finland is shown.
    Also, if it would work, I would need to get rid of multiple EN_* langauges. I just need EN_UK or EN_US, not all 22 different EN_*.
    One option would be to create a custom dictionary, which would have words from both languages. The next task is then to find out how to make this kind of custom ENFI-dictionary, which would have words from both English and Finnish languages.
    Finnish may be a some kind of special case for spell checking anyway, because the support is in its separate plugin:

  • Multiple Contacts with the Same Number

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1583335?start=0&tstart=0
    I found that thread but I can't reply to it (it's been archived), and I want to know why Apple feels there is no need to make this distinction.
    People in that thread suggested it operates the same as Caller ID - this is NOT the case. With a Caller ID, the name reported is not on YOUR end, but the phone company's. On a cell phone, it just matches the incoming number with your address book. And I'd like to add that even most land line phone handsets have a contact book that it looks up incoming calls to override the caller ID.
    But the difference with an iPhone, especially with iOS 6, is all the data integration. It imports your Facebook friends directly into your contacts, but gives NO way to override or modify that information. So if, say, your brother lives at home with your parents, and he lists their home number as his own on Facebook, I have no way to alter this, and the incoming call is shown as "Home or His Name" (I've been using a contact named "Home" for that number) with no way to change it!!
    I can't POSSIBLY be the only person that still uses contacts like "Home" or "Nextdoor Neighbor"... Apple seems to assume that each contact is a single person, and that isn't always the case.
    I liked the idea that a poster in that thread I linked at the top of this post had - forming "groups" of contacts and assigning a name to the group as a whole. I see iOS 6 added groups of contacts, but I don't see ANY way to create them.

    One workaround I've found to this is adding an extra character to the phone number in contacts which you do not want displayed when a call is received.
    Smith residence: 111-222-3333
    John Smith: 111-222-3333 x
    Mary Smith: 111-222-3333 x
    It's not particularly pretty or elegant, but it gets the job done. Calls placed to Mary or John seem to work, even with the extra character, although this may vary depending on the network provider.

  • Run a query multiple times in the same report for different nodes in Hier

    Hi,
    I have created a query as per my requirements. But my issue is I need to run the report for all the profit centers in a hierarchy. Right now I enter a node value of the hierarchy in the variable and I get the result. But I want to run it for each node in the hierarchy and display the result in the same report.Is it possible to do so in web using information broadcaster or any BI 7.0 tools. Has anyone done similar to this in web. I would prefer the web route rather than the excel but if excel is the only answer I will follow the excel path.
    Looking forward to your suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    Kal

    Hello Kal,
    if the number of Profit Centers is limited, you could probably work with query views (one for each PC) and include all these into your Web Template.
    If this is not appropriate, I don´t know if there is any way of programming possible.
    Regards

  • I just purchased an ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of purchasing one also.  When we buy a book do we have to make 2 purchases of the same book for each ipad?  Or does Apple have the same arrangement as the Amazon kindle.

    I have just purchased an Ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of  also acquiring one.  When we purchase books must we buy 2 of each title, or does Apple have a similar arrangement as the Amazon kindle?

    If you use the one iTunes account between the two of you then you can both download the ibook onto your iPads - I have some of my ibooks on both my iPad and iPhone.  If you decide to have separate iTunes accounts then if you use the same computer's iTunes to sync to (with both accounts authorised on it) then you should be able to sync the book to iBooks on both devices.
    If you have separate accounts and sync to separate computers then you can copy the ibooks between the computers via, for example, a flash-drive and add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library). There is a risk that if you sign into the second iPad (or computer) with a different iTunes account and re-download one of its past purchases that the iPad (or comptuer) will become tied to that account for 90 days, so copying it over manually would be better than re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • How connect multiple swf in the same app for iOS

    Hello,
    i have a problem.
    i have a lot of swf file each one is linked to another: i have a menu page with botton linked to different games (one swf for game).
    Now i need to convert all of this in an app for iPad.
    My question is: which is the easiest way to create link between all my swf files?
    I read a lot of things but i really don't understand how i can move.
    Thx for Help,
    Stefano

    ok, this is the way to add file in my app (if is correct i already have the appname.xml file);
    but what about navigateToURL? can i  use that or i have to use another script? can you make me an example of script ?
    using this script i found the following problem:
    var _urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“mySecondarySwf.swf”);
    var _loader:Loader = new Loader();
    var _lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
    _loader.load(_urlRequest, _lc);
    addChild(_loader)
    using this script testing the app on computer the new swf is added on stage, but unfortunately i see the object of first and of second swf (overlapping...and i don't want that)
    but publishing the app for testing device (ipad) the second swf is not loaded on screen...
    what is wrong?
    thanks

  • Two questions 1. how can I send multiple photos to the same number 2. how do I assign a silent ringtone to a number?

    I want to send three photos to the same phone number. How can I do this without sending three seperate texts? Also how do I assign a silent ringtone to a number to block that number?

    you should be able to copy/paste more than one photo into an imessage by holding down on the entry field. When it comes to MMS, the number of pictures you can send is dictated by your carrier
    You could try using this service to create a special ringtone that has no actual sound content

    Just make the section of the song that you convert a silent part of a song (like the very beginning or end)

  • How do I select multiple Genres at the same time for playback in the new iTunes?

    I used to highlight several Genres at once and hit shuffle, playing all of them. The new iTunes won't let me!

    Alexander, On my machine it works as follows in iTunes 11:
    Enable column browser from the View menu.  In the Genres column of the browser, use CTRL-click (in the Mac I think that is Option-click but if it doesn't work, try CMD-click) to select the Genres you want.  Also activate Shuffle (crossed arrows, or via the Controls menu).  Start playing, and it will shuffle through the songs of the selected Genres.
