How to Format telephone numbers in Adress Book

I want to format all my telephone numbers to an International format as from the UK. Such as +44 #### ### ###. But try as I will to input this into Address Book Phone Preferences under custom nothing happens. The drop box gives three pre-set format and the custom option ~ I can alter the pre-set numbers but not save them, I can also enter a custom set up but it does not save or implement itself.
Strangely the presets work, but not when altered (I have pressed enter to save!)
Can anyone make some 'sane' suggestions as I need to get all telephone numbers in the same +44 format without having to go through everything by hand.
Here's hoping, thanks guys.

How do I add numbers to contact groups I've created

Ive created a list of sub-groups for my fairly extensive contact list, but I can't figure out how to add contacts to these subgroups without having to re-enter the contact info as a "new contact". Is it possible to select from my "All Contacts" list those numbers I want included in a particular subgroup?

Email the contact to yourself (share contact).
In the contacts app, make sure you are in the proper group.
Import the contact
Delete the contact in the old group.

How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages

My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number. In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number. So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them. Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
Thanks.

I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

How to dial telephone numbers which have letters instead of digits?

I'm new to Blackberry products & just bought a 8330 curve. Unlike my other smartphones which had the option of a dial key pad, the Curve appears to have forgotten to include one. When a telephone number is spelled out with letters instead of digits, how do I dial it? For example: for my pharmacy refills I would dial 1-123-345-DRUG or when calling a company after hours and reach its automated answer system which prompts you to key-in the party that you are looking for their last 4 letters of their name. How do you do it. Help.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You can enter the alpha chacratars using the alt shift for nummerics.
For example: 1-800-(alt-shift) -IFlYSWA
The same applys when you are asked for alpha characters as in your example
of search by person's name.

Can anybody pls help me on this .

Shruthi

Hi,
If you have this grouping in many reports then you should consider putting the grouping calculation in a folder in the EUL.
You can sort the report using this calculation and set the sort type to be "Hidden" so that the calculation does not show in the report.

Anyone know what the little star symbol next to some telephone numbers in Contacts means? I can't seem to find anything that describes it.

It means that the number is in your Favorites.

My contacts are listed by telephone numbers instead of names in my messages since I upgraded to OS8? How can I change it to names?l,

Under Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
1) is your Apple ID listed there?
2) Under "You can be reached..." is your phone number appearing at the top of the list and does it have a checkmark next to it?
3) Under "Start New Conversation From" is the checkmark next to your phone number?

Since I joined iCloud, I have lost all my "Contact" list, i.e. all my telephone numbers. How can I recover them?

Are you using iCloud as well as manually synchronizing via iTunes?
And, do you have backup?

IPad contacts do not display telephone numbers

The only way I can view the telephone numbers of a contact is to click 'edit' and look at them on the edit screen. Ive an iPad 2, iOS 5 and still use mobile me.
Any suggestions how to fix this?

Does it display any caller ID info at all? The caller ID info must match the number for the contact in your phone EXACTLY for the name to be displayed.
If you're not even getting a number, contact your carrier. They may not have your service provisioned correctly.

How to separate two contact with same name

Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!

FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers? Until very recently
it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

Mobile number and telephone numbers not displying in lync contacts for other SIP domains.

Hi everyone,
we recently migrated Lync 2010 to 2013, we have 2 SIP boc.bh and scys.gov.bh and local domain boc.local.

but old with lync 2010 all users able to see all numbers in lync list.
recently we changed user UPN suffix for BOC.bh and scys.gov.bh to respective users.
there is no any error massage on lync servers.

Hi Manish!
On the Lync Server 2013 environment you can run the Lync PowerShell command: "Update-CsUserDatabase" after 5 minutes run the command: Update-CsAddressBook
Please after that run: "Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication" wait for Lync replication with command: "Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus" when Status for each server is appearing as True finally apply the following steps to test with
2 accounts:
Log off of the Lync client and delete the profile from:
%userprofile%\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
then execute the following command in the command prompt to add the registry that forces the Lync client to immediately download the address book:
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync /v GalDownloadInitialDelay /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Sign-in to users again to lync client and test between each other.
