Importing phone numbers

I have a .csv file loaded in Excel, which is to be imported. The (Ozzie) phone numbers mostly are in the format
8888 8888
while some of them are in the format
03 8888 8888
When I use "find and replace" in Excel to remove the spaces, it also removes the leading zero from the area code. How do I get around this?

Info from a Ozzie ;-D
Set your column format to Text, this prevents to 0 from being dropped off.
Sort your numbers so that all those that start with an area code are together.
Do your find and replace so that there are no spaces.
Then a text to columns on those with an area code, fixed width so it sorts into 2 columns, area code 03 then phone number 88888888
Join it back together as =A1&" "&B1 or ="61"&A1&" "&B1
This will give you phone numbers in 88888888 and 03 88888888
good luck.

  • HT1386 my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly

    my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly from my address book.  some are imported with the area code separated from the number, as it is in the address book (by a dash or parentheses).  these the phone will dial correctly.  others are imported with all the numbers bunched together, without separations between the number and area code, even though in the address book they are separated.  these the phone won't dial correctly, and I get a message from verizon saying it won't connect with the number as dialed.  how can I get the phone to import the numbers as they appear in the address book?

    Hi, bjholladay. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows XP or Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • Import phone number

    Dear community,
    I am trying to import data regarding account and lead and I have some problems regarding phone number format. Although in the csv file I formatted the phone number based on the documentation +country code followed by space but after the import process all the phone numbers have a prefixed like 011.
    Could anyone to provide a solution workaround for this issue?
    Thank in advance,
    Cristian

    Based on the selected Country the following is the correct format for importing phone numbers:
    Non-US & Canadian Phone Format (+33 01 40359564)
    US & Canadian Phone Format
    408-555-1234

  • My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account.  When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared.  How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

    My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account.  When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses.  The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

        Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
    If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
    I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

  • Import vcf into Address Book loosing multiple mobile phone numbers

    When I import vcf entries that hold more than one mobile phone number, all but the first number is lost. This behavior changed from address book version 4.1.2 (osx 10.5 leopard) to address book version 5.0.1 (snow leopard - 10.6.2).
    You can try yourself:
    create an entry in the address book that has multiple mobile phone numbers, export that entry as a vcf file, delete the entry in the address book and reimport the vcf file. All but the first mobile phone number is lost! It works correct in addressbook in leopard but does not anymore in the latest version of snow leopard. I even think the error just appeard after the last update to 10.6.2!
    Apple, please fix this bug!
    regard
    Christof

    Address Book 5.0.1 multiple field issues:
    We have found the same thing. It seems to only be Address Book 5.0.1 which is affected. We are cautiously using our previous version 5.0 (from Snow Leopard 10.6.1) which seems not to be affected.
    It is also a problem if you merge records. We have found that any fields which have matching labels will be deleted leaving only one. In some cases other fields which do not match label are also deleted. We have also experienced an issue with the preferences for the formatting of Phone Numbers in the preferences dialog no longer working correctly.
    We have reported this to Apple RADAR bug reports. We have referenced this thread too.
    In the meantime our advice is to:
    Back up your Apple Address Book contacts and keep the backup safe.
    carefully use Address Book v 5.0 from Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (cautiously at your own risk as there may be issues using a version that is not designed for 10.6.2 - back up your address book first). This version has always seemed pretty reliable for us.
    If you continue to use v 5.0.1 do not merge any contacts. do not run find duplicates (just in case). do not import any contacts into the address book.

  • Switch phone numbers with a family member on a different plan

    Hello!
    I have a Verizon cell phone plan and my mother has a separate plan. A few years ago my mother got a phone that she absolutely hated so I agreed to take her phone and she took mine. What ended up happening is that she has a phone that I technically pay for each month under my plan and I have a phone that she pays for under her plan. We are both at the end of our contracts now but I want to switch the phone numbers to the proper plans so we pay for our own phones. This is especially important since she wants to cancel  her account and go to a different carrier but I want to stay with Verizon.
    How do I go about doing this? If she cancels her plan is there a way I can keep the number but bring it to my account and how will this affect my upgrade? I think my mother would also like to bring her current number (the phone under my account) to her new carrier.
    Thank you very much for any help you can give me!

        Hi irishpat87,
    Let's explore options to complete the number swap! As indicated by others (thanks!), doing an Assumption of Liability is a way to accomplish what you want to do and since you are at the end of your contracts (as per your original post), contract length carries over as is. I trust that this will answer your questions fully. Please visit this link http://vz.to/187wQRK for details on the Assumption of Liability process.

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

  • ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

    In iCloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone contact.

    That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

  • Contact bug : contact phone numbers in edit mode are not shown in "dial" mode

    Contacts can have seemingly unlimited phone numbers as seen in the contact edit mode, though very few are shown in the corresponding non-edit mode. Of course, Dialing is not supported in the edit mode.
    I have found that contacts that include pause characters or block characters are not properly displayed in the contact "dial mode".  If you every try a conference call service, this is important to you.
    At&t uses the comma as a pause, and Verizon uses the letter "t" as a pause.  *82 temporarily blocks your caller id.  Somehow the WebOS software that chooses which items to allow me to dial has bugs and worse, there is no clear way to prioritize so I am completely at the whim of the software.

    I have tested entering 12 phone numbers on my own Pre Plus and all the numbers display in the normal contact field. How many phone numbers are you trying to to display?
    The dialing options on the Palm Pre Plus are as follows:
    To insert a two-second pause in the dialing sequence, enter a T where you want the pause to appear. To add a + symbol in the dialing sequence for international dialing, press and hold 0 (zero) in the location where you want the + symbol to appear. To insert a stop in the dialing sequence, enter a P where you want the stop to appear; to dial the next set of numbers after the stop, tap the screen.
    As far as 3rd party special dialing character entry you would need to check with the 3rd party on how to enter this information into you device for your conference calling service.

  • Names, addresses and phone numbers have dissappeared from my list, favorites and tx mess

    Suddenly I went to favorites and realize most of my phones have no names only phone numbers.  I went to all contacts and they are not there. I lost names addresses and all info.  I need to know if is still there? in the memory? or I need to do it all over again.

    Try importing your contact list from Verizon Backup Assist.
    If you do not have that, then upload them from your saved contacts in your computer.
    If you do not have that, then try to restore your backed up phone data from a previous backup on itunes.
    If you still have none of those, then yeah.  You're SOL and will have to manually insert everything.  I recommend afterwards getting the backup assist app and backing everything up so you don't have to do that ever again.
    Hope this helps!

  • The order of phone numbers changes in iphone

    I list phone numbers in Contacts in the order that I want them to appear, but the oder changes once they are in the iphone. The contacts show up correctly on my computer and in Mobile Me but different on the iphone. I have the current OS on my phone.
    For example, each person with multiple phone numbers there is usually an order of which number is best to reach that person. For some people the first place to try and reach them would be their mobile number, for business associates I might want to call them at work first before trying them at a different number.
    Another example is my husband. I want our home phone on top, his regular mobile number listed next, and he has a back up mobile phone for emergencies. Annoyingly, the back up mobile number is what shows up on the iphone as his first phone number.
    I've asked about this in my "One to One" appointments and they told me to check with Mobile Me. I checked the mobile me support and they say it has to be a iphone issue. I have had two different 3G iphones and both did this. I've tried to work around this by deleting the entire address book and then importing all fresh info and this doesn't help. It is also random, it is not consistently putting any particular group on top.
    I would really appreciate a solution.
    thanks

    Before you sync your iPhone the next time, activate the option "sync addressbook" and "replace all Contacts on iPhone". The next sync will replace your contact info on your phone. From that point on all contact infos will be the same on your mac and and your phone. And changes or new infos will also be seen on both systems.
    Hope this helps

  • How to copy phone numbers from iPhone 5 to Panasonic KX-TG7445?

    My phone is linked to the Panasonic phone system. Does anyone know how to copy selected contacts' phone numbers to the Panasonic phone system?

    That would be a good question for Panasonic...
    If the system does not support the PBAP, you can't import them from the phone. If it does, ALL contacts will be uploaded automatically.

  • Transferring phone numbers from old Casio Boulder

    I need help!
    Would someone be able to tell me how to get all of my phone numbers out of my Casio and into my i Phone 4? They were absolutely no help at the Verizon store today. I spent over an hour there while they tried to activate my phone. I asked the the lady if she could transfer the numbers, and she told me that all i would have to do is log in to my i Tunes and they would be there. Well, they are not. Can someone please help? Please

    With Windows, the iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, and with the address book used by Windows Mail with Windows 7 called Windows Contacts or Windows Address Book for syncing contacts only.
    You need to get the contacts exported from the Casio in a format that is supported by importing with a supported address book application on your computer.
    Certainly Casio provided some option for exporting the contacts in a format that would be supported by importing into an address book application on your computer, or syncing the contacts with an app on your computer that is provided by Casio, or possibly with a 3rd party alternative.

  • How to sync more than phone numbers from Backup Assistant to LG Octane?

    On the LG Octane, I have been told that I can Import contacts from Outlook 2010.  Also I can edit and add contacts in Backup Assistant.  This I can do.  But when I sync the phone to Backup Assistant all that appears on the phone contacts list is the person's name and phone numbers.  The lines for address, email, etc are blank.  These items do not transfer from Backup Assistant.  What is wrong?

    Backup Assistant supports most address book fields; however, there are some address book fields and settings that may not be accessible.

  • OS X Mavericks Contacts phone numbers shown as Floating point numbers

    After installing Mavericks on MBP, I notice that some phone numbers in contacts are shown as floating point numbers, and are unreadable. I am guessing that these are numbers which were proceeded by "+" previously.
    An example is 4.9161E+12, which is for a German contact, and the number would be +49 161...
    I can't see any way to change the format, and the floating point display is useless, as the last digits are lost.
    Would appreciate any advice on the matter.
    Many thanks,
    Michael.

    Music and pics are one way sync - computer to iphone. The iphone is not a storage device.
    Only itunes purchased music can be transfered. With iphone attached to itunes, click file>transfer purchases.
    Pics are optimized for viewing on iphone, reducing the quality of the pic on the iphone. Only pics taken with iphone and in the Camera Roll can be imported from iphone. This is done as with any other digital camera. You can e-mail the other pics to yourself one at a time. They will not be of the original quality though.
    You really should back up your info/pics/music as hard drives can and do fail.
