E71 MS Outlook phone number format

How do I remove the leading zeros from numbers stored in Outlook when synching with E71? One problem is that Italy NEEDS a leading zero [i.e. +39 (0)nnnn nnnn]. Currently most numbers in Outlook are stored +nn (0)nnnn nnnnnn - but I have too many stored to do this manually. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response. I'm not complaining about Outlook - what it does seems reasonable to me - but I was hoping for a solution to removing those leading zeros when synching with a mobile (where they get in the way of making a call).
Its possible to export to a csv file in Excel, then doing a variety of search and replace exercises, then upload again to Outlook (new folder), then synch (new folder) to the phone. BUT it's not the kind of job to do every week! Surely someone has done this commercially?

10 digit phone number format

Does anyone know of a way to change the default BB 10-digit phone number format of NNNNNNNNNN to include either spaces or parentheses? i.e. (NNN) NNN-NNNN or NNN NNN NNNN.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
If you setup your contact in the (722-344-66770 you can certainly do it. The field is numeric..
You can view the contact and it will be that format, but when you dial, it will just be numbers, The telco has no need of the dashes and parenthesis so the BB doesn't waste space displaying and sending them.
The dashes and () in this case mean nothing to the telco. There are symbols that do, but if you stay with these your safe.
If you need further assistance please ask! If not:

SQL phone number format check

Hello, I am looking for a programmatic way to check phone number formats in my database using SQL. The phone numbers MUST be one of 2 formats:
XXX-XXX-XXXX or (XXX)XXX-XXXX
I want to return the row if they are NOT one of these formats.
Thank you!

This?
SQL> WITH t AS (
2     SELECT '555-555-1212' phone FROM dual UNION ALL
3     SELECT '( 555 )555-1212' FROM dual UNION ALL
4     SELECT '555 555 1212' FROM dual UNION ALL

555 555 1212
555 555-1212If you are on 11g, you could also do something with regexp_like, but personally, I think it would be overkill. If spaces are not invalid as long as the rest meets the format, two parens and a hyphen or two hyphens (i.e. the second one could be valid, but not the third and fifth) then use replace to get rid of spaces first and nvl to deal with nulls like:

Change Phone Number Format

Can we change phone number format from "US" to "Australia" phone number format?

And Dutch and Irish too, Please?

Other country address/ phone number formats??

Does anyone know if you can enter individual telephone numbers into a contact's card in the telephone number format of that country? For instance when I want to add a French friend's address and phone number it reverts to US standards, ie: (**)-***-***, when I really need to put the phone number in their French format, like: ** ** ** ** **.
The same applies to that person's street/town address too, it has to be in the USA format not their French way of listing addresses.
I cannot find a way of not applying the country specific "global" address and phone number formatting to individuals who do not have a US address......Am I missing something here? This has been annoying me for some while, while most of my contacts are USA based I'd really like to be able to list other friends and contacts who live elsewhere in a proper regional way...... So I thought I'd reach out to others to see if there's a solution here....thanks!

Hello Peter,
Under preferences inside the address book, there is a phone preference to edit or creative formats for displaying phone numbers in your address book.
"Automatically format phone numbers"
When this option is selected, Address Book formats phone numbers for you when you enter them. To create a new format, click the Add button and type a format in the Format field.
Thanks,
Hope this work out for you!

International Phone Number formatting

Hello all,
I'm wondering if there are any open source phone number formatting libraries out there? The phone numbers can come from anywhere in the world.
I would get something like this
0112024444444
Algeria
and get
011 20 (2) 444-4444
Thanks,
Ralph

I'm sure there are, but there's a lot of formats out there. Why not just have a single field and let people put what they want. If it's not a valid number, then they won't get a call.

Allow Multiple Phone Number Formats

Hi folks,
In the past I have always set the Phone Number format using the simple Arbitrary Mask feature in the text box properties e.g. (99) 9999 9999 but I have a form where two different phone number formats are acceptable (an Australian landline OR mobile).
They are:
(99) 9999 9999
9999 999 9999
Is this only possible through the magic of Javascript? I have tried Googling and found nothing.

Thank you for your reply GKaiseril. I think I'm starting to undertsand it a little bit, especialyul after reading a similar thread that you contruibuted to here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/861867
My understanding is that the "vr re_NA_Phone_Commit =" bit specifies where the spaces are in the strong of numebrs, where the brackets go etc. But doesn't this still only set one type of format?
If I use the following code, it turns 0399999999 (an example landline number) into (03) 5499 9999, great! But if I typed in 0499999999 (an example mobile number) I want it to become 0499 999 999 becasue that's how we format mobile numbers.
// custom format
var re_NA_Phone_Commit = /^$?([0-9]{2})$?[. ]?([0-9]{4})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/
if(re_NA_Phone_Commit.test(event.value))
event.value = "("+ RegExp.$1 +") " + RegExp.$2 + "-" + RegExp.$3;
else {
event.value = "";
event.rc = false;
// end custom format

Outlook 2007 phone number format incompatible with...

I use MS Outlook to organise my E-mail, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Notes, etc.
With Contacts, the Outlook format is for example:
+00 (000) 0000000
Nokia PC Suite can recognise the above number while Nokia Ovi Suite cannot.
For example, in PC Suite, in Messages, the above Outlook format is recognised and assigned the correct name and other details.

outlook and the phone does synchronise, that is, the contacts from outlook synchronises with the contactsin the phone. the issue i have is with the Ovi Suite Messaging.
there are two types of contacts and the number format:
1. contacts i added using the mobile phone and has the number format:
+000000000000
2. contacts i added using Outlook and has the number format:
+00 (000) 0000000
in Ovi Suite Messanging, the names of the contacts using method 1, those added using the phone, appear. when the person sends a message, the software recocnises the number, associates the name and messaging thread
the contacts added using method 2, on the other hand, are not recognised by the software, and therefore appear as the number (+000000000000) rather than the name.
and so i have two messaging threads for every contact:
1. a thread where i sent the text, because i used the number from Outlook. and its all sent messages
2. a thread where i received the text because the Ovi Suite does not recognise the number +000000000000 because the number in the contact that was from outlook is +00 (000) 0000000
with Nokia PC Suite, the software associates the number with the contact from Outlook. so i would receive a message with +000000000000 and it would assign the correct contact with +00 (000) 0000000
will this get sorted? i like the concept of the Ovi Suite but its not very user friendly. now im tempted to get either a blackberry or iphone.

SMS and Outlook Phone Number Extenstion

I don't know if this is a N95 or a PC Suite problem.
I have used different computers, PC Suite versions and N95 firmware versions to test this.
I create a contact in Outlook and add a phone number.
For examle:
Country: Germany
Area Code: 123
Phone Number: 4567
Extension: 89
This is shown as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 in Outlook and
this is synced as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 to my N95.
I like the x so I can see the extension easily. But when I
try to write a SMS and select this contact and the phone
number, I always get "Invalid Contact details: ..."
Is this a problem with my N95 or with the PC Suite? I cannot
enter the "x" manually in my phone so I think this shouldn't
be synced. But it would be nice if I could enter it.
Marc

I pretty much agree. I have an N95 and also use Outlook 2003. I sync using PC Suite (6.85.14.1). I'm pretty sure I did not have this problem with my previous phone (6680) but if I use the formatting for the phone numbers as provided by Outlook 2003, then they get synced to the N95 as something like +44 (07801) 123456. The N95 will not work with that number so I have to edit them before I can use them - tedious.
In fact, it is only necessary to delete the nought at the beginning of the area code, so +44 (7801) 123456, will work.
It would be very helpful if the N95 software could spot the international code and then ignore a following nought. Maybe that doesn't apply to all countries, but I guess it would help a lot of us!
MAW.

OVi Suite is destroying OUTLOOK phone number form...

I have formatted my Outlook phone numbers the standard way +49 (yyy)xxxx. With Ovi Suite sync of contacts, the brackets are now removed from the phone. Since you cannot specify the sync direction the reformatted phone numbers are soon or later ending up in Outlook. The issue: I don't know which part of the number is area code and what is the number. I had to retype all my 250 numbers using a 10 year old printout. This is not acceptable.
My OVI Suite is the current and called now Nokia Suite.
Best is to remove that stupid filter or allow for synch direction in OVI Suite.
Is there a solution that I have overlooked or do I have to install the old PC Suite in addition for syncing contacts?
I cannot not live with this issue.
Best regards
Michael

Hi Hunchback,
why can't we just have a software switch or sync by directions as in PC Suite? As I said even when I do not touch my contacts in the phone I have all Outlook contact formatting removed . I have definitely not touched all contacts in the phone. I assume it happend when you reload backups on the notebook, reinstall Ovi Suite and then synch.
All my phones E72, N82, E61I and N8 can live with formatting.
Best regards
Michael

Help: Enforce phone number format through DB trigger

Hi,
I am trying to create a trigger in DB that will alter any phone number insert or update into a standard format as (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
For example,
1. if user attempts to insert 123-456-7890, the trigger will alter it as (123) 456-7890
2. if user attempts to insert 1234567890, the trigger will alter it as (123) 456-7890
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Phone number format edit

Hello everyone, i have a problem with my iPhone 4S. I'm from Romania so it's not a verizon problem only... When a person in my contact list is calling me it only shows the numer of the caller not the ID, but after i hang-up and go to call history it shows the ID. I tried to put +4 in front of the number but now when someone is calling it shows the ID but in call history it shows the phone number. The phone is Jailbroken so if there is any solution what requires a jailbroken phone i am happy to try it out. The format region is on Romania and the International Assist is OFF. I tried as many things i could find on the internet about this but still can't figure it out. Can you guys help me? My firmware is 5.1.1 and i DON'T want to upgrade to 6 because i use a gevey sim card to unlock it, so anything else that can help ?

Thanks, indeed. I had my Phone language set to "English (United States)" . I never thought that this would change the number format. I changed it to English and now it's ok.
+ it stopped with that annoying correction while i'm writing text.
So double thanks

Luxembourg phone number formatting in iOS = 4.0

Hello,
Since upgrading to iOS 4, phone numbers here in Luxembourg are no longer displayed in a readable way, the formatting is incorrect.
Example : the correct phone number 26 52 26 52 would be displayed as 2 652 2652. That's bizarre, not logical and not readable. The first digit is not a prefix, it makes no sense at all to group phone numbers as # ### ####. You could show it in blocks of 2 or 4 (3 would be a bad choice because numbers are usually 6 or 8 digits).
Is this a know bug ? In MacOS you can define your own number formats in the address book, but that's obviously not possible in the iPhone.
Pascal

Yes, Region Format is set to Luxembourg. Language is set to English. I should have mentioned that my wife and my friends have exactly the same issue with their iPhones.

E51 Outlook phone number Field.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my E51, when using PC Suite to sync with Outlook.
When a new contact is added via the phone, and then synced with PCSuite, the Phone Field entry in Outlook is set to Other, even though on the phone it's set to Telephone:
Is there any way to change what field name is used?
I have the latest firmware for my E51
PC Suite is v7.0.7.0
MS Outlook is 2007 SP1
Thanks.

Just to confirm I am having the same problem (sorry not much help!). The 'Telephone' field in the E51 maps to 'Other Telephone' in Outlook 2007 and then 'disappears' when synched with my Revo. I have had to cut and paste the 'Telephone' field to the 'Telephone (home)' field on all my phone contacts and that has kept it under control.
If when adding a new contact in the E51, the default field was 'Telephone (home)' then I would be happy. It does not seem possible to change the entry default? At the moment it means having to remember to add this field every time I need to add a new contact's home phone number. The 'mobile' field works fine.
