Editing of phone number in the dial screen

Hi,
I would like to find out if Black Berry intends to update this feature into upcoming OS10.2 xxx. I used to have various blackberry phones, but have since sold them off / swapped phones. Although the feature seems rather innocuous and mundane, based on what i have read, there are many users who would like to see this important feature in. Please let me knkow, as i would like to swap back to use the blackberry paltform.

Welcome to the forums.
What exactly do you mean by the editing of the number?
The ability to edit the number has always been in the dial screen, just use a two finger swipe from the bottom to bring up the keyboard and use the number or delete keys as appropriate.
If I've missed what you are trying to say let me know exactly what it is you would want to do.
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.

Why can't I edit phone numbers in the dialer?

If I find a number on the Internet, it is often (at least in Sweden) typed in with country code and then an optional 0 if you're calling domesically, e.g. +46 (0) 8-402 60 00. This number isn't dialable because of the extra 0 inserted there from misguided benevolence.
My phone is also inside a switchboard and I need to add either a 0 or replace the first 0 with +46 (for a Swedish number) in front of every number to be able to make a call. Unfortunately the only way I can find to edit a phone number in the phone number dialer is to erase them from the last digit. Not very efficient if you want to replace the first digit!
Why can't I edit phone numbers anywhere in the string of numbers as anywhere else in the phone and its apps?
Now I have to copy the number either into a new contact or the notepad, edit and then dial.

Copied from my answer to your other thread for your convenience:
Unlike the iPhone, Android allows developers access to basic system functions. Although this means there are lots of apps that do interesting things like scheduling text messages (the one thing I really miss from when I had an Android), it also means the OS is significantly less secure. Apple's choice was security and stability. Google's was open platform at the expense of security and stability.

How can I reset the phone number under Imessage (iphone 4s unlocked tmobile ios 5.0.1)? The phone number from the person i purchased it from is grayed out and cannot be edited. Please help!

I bought this phone from someone and then I unlocked it using that gevey sim i think -- using it for T-mobile..
I can't get Imessage to work on my phone number because the old number is there and it is grayed out and cannot be edited.
I can use it but not with my phone number, only with email.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this so that I can send with my number?
Thanks so much

The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

How can I copy, paste and edit a phone number?

If I copy a phone number then paste it, how can I edit the pasted number?
For example, my phone has an Irish SIM. If I am in the UK and copy a UK phone number from an email signature it will typically be in local format i.e. 0208 456 7890. I need to dial 00 44 208 456 7890. I cannot find a way to delete the zero prefix and add the country code.

This one kills me as well - editing phone numbers in the keypad/dialer is a pretty basic function, I could never fathom why it didn't exist. We need to be able to place a cursor, and copy/paste part-numbers! I'm constantly trying to paste just an area code, or an extension, or insert the country code, and I should not need to create a new number in the contact directory to do it!
Currently I do the copy/paste editing in Notes, and then paste the corrected number into the dialer - pointless and inefficient, and contrary to the Apple philosophy of making the user experience easy and seamless...

How to delete one number in the dial pad dropdown ...

When calling a phone number from Skype, I mistyped the phone number. Now whenever I call a phone number, the dial pad's dropdown list includes the mistyped phone number. I want to delete that single number from the dial pad's dropdown list.
Unfortunately I obeyed some people's suggestions in other topics. Now the contents of all chat histories with all ordinary Skype contacts are gone. I used to save logs of those forever, but the attempt to delete one phone call history actually deleted all chat histories with everyone. That was not what I wanted. ... And then, to add insult to injury, whenever I call a phone number, the dial pad's dropdown list still includes the mistyped phone number that I want to delete.
Is there any way to do it?
Even though I make more typos than everyone else, even though my keyboard's Backspace button gets a pounding, surely I'm not the only one?

NOT My day - just typed out a message and clicked Preview. The message is gone. Short reply - this is suppose, at heart, to be a telephone system. BASICS like keyboard entry error correction should be available (in an intuitive way). Backspace doesn't erase last entry and you cannot even delete ALL the entry. Would you fix this or explain why it cannot be done - and then find out how it can.

I had set my phone to use the pattern screen lock but now it is asking for a PIN.

I had set my phone to use the pattern screen lock but now it is asking for a PIN.
I turned my phone on this morning and instead of the pattern lock that I've been using with this phone since I purchased it, it is now asking for a PIN that I do not know.
I contacted Samsung but they told me that my carrier would be able to reset the PIN for me remotely. I've been trying to find a way to chat with Verizon support but it keeps sending me to self help troubleshooting. It was so easy to get a live person on Samsung support, how do I get a real person on Verizon?
Thanks

Thanks deb2too, I'll keep the number for future reference. I was able to unlock the phone via https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager

Hi, I want to iMessage an American phone number from the uk, how do I do this?

Hi, I want to iMessage an American phone number from the uk, how do I do this?

make sure you have the phone number entered in international format in your contacts. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Then enter the US number as +1 (area code, if it has one) (phone number).
With dial assist on the + gives you the dial out code to make an international call, 1 is the country code for USA,for a mobile number it will not have an area code but if it has a leading zero leave it out, then the phone number without any leading zero

You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

You can disassociate your phone number with your iMessages/Apple ID by turning off iMessages. Go to Settings -> iMessages -> Turn off iMessages. Wait a couple of hour to fully have your number unregistered with iMessages.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

I've never dropped my phone for the 7 months that I've had it but last night I was at a park and when I sat down at a table, my phone as in my pocket and I heard a pop. I took my phone out and the entire screen was cracked. what should I do?

Probably not, since user-caused damage isn't covered by the warranty. But you can take the iPhone to an Apple Store and see if there's anything they can do for you. A phone company store will not service your iPhone at all, to the best of my knowledge.
