Maximum # of Characters for Contact Phone Number

Anyone know what the maximum number of characters allowed, that will execute a call, within the contact phone number field for Rev 2.0?
Past s/w revision I was able to enter up to 40 characters, inclusive of spaces and pauses (",").
This now does not work, in fact it will not even try to dial the number.
This is causing me problems since I use international access codes and pins for overseas dialing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Other threads discussing the issue of pauses, etc, suggest it isn't the length of the number that stymies the iPhone, but something about the pause itself. I believe it mattered whether the number was entered on the phone or the computer (I think enter it on the phone). Try a search on the general iphone forum for more discussion.

Contacts seem to have broken into individual entries for email, phone number, address. How can I fix this?

My contacts have been split into individual entries for each part of the contact. There is now an entry for the phone number, each email address, and address of each contact that I have. I have never seen this before and would like to know if there is any way to combine them back into one. Thank you

Hey FionaB90,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your phone number has been unlinked from your Apple ID. To relink your phone number, we'll need to troubleshoot on your iPhone (not the iPad).
The following article provides information about linking your phone number to your Apple ID. Once linked, simply sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on your iPad, then sign back in.

Contact phone number for Customer Service Center in Wallingford CT

Hello,
Does anyone have a contact phone number for the customer service center in Wallingford, CT. I sent them a letter back on May 17, 2014 and have not heard anything. I called the general customer service phone number on June 7 to follow-up and they did not have any record of my letter being received or reviewed. I have a major issue with Verizon cancelling my unlimited data in error and I am giving Verizon one last chance to work with me on this issue before I switch providers. You would think that they would have the decency to at least respond to someone who has been a loyal customer for over 20 years and who has gone through the trouble of drafting a formal letter and mailing it (since nobody would give me an email address). Please reply with any suggestions.
Thanks.

Did you put in an inactive pricing request to restore the unlimited data within 14 days of the change? If you upgraded under contract then the data plan change would be valid.

Use custom field for work phone number in CUCiLync

Hi,
I have searched and tried out all sorts of different settings for enabling/changing the way CUCiLync searches the Active Directory (AD) for contact phone numbers.
But no matter what setting I use in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco Systems, inc.\ Client Services Framework\AdminData and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco Systems, inc.\ Client Services Framework\Active Directory hive, CUCiLync still uses the default for Work phone number. The default for this is to use telephoneNumber, the value that I wish to use is the ipPhone field.
The registry values that I have tested so far are these.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco Systems, inc.\ Client Services Framework\AdminData
LDAP_AttributeName_businessPhone
LDAP_AttributeName_primaryPhoneNumberForSearches
LDAP_AttributeName_otherPhone
All set to ipPhone, and I have also tested to set it to another field in AD that contains the same value as the ipPhone, that is in my case extensionAttribute5.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco Systems, inc.\ Client Services Framework\Active Directory
BusinessPhone
PreferredNumber
DisableSecondaryNumberLookups
First two set to ipPhone and the third set to 0, and I have also tested to set it to another field in AD that contains the same value as the ipPhone, that is in my case extensionAttribute5.
The above values comes from these two urls,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucimoc/8_5/english/installguide/config_active_directory.html#wp1141403
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucimoc/8_5/english/installguide/config_active_directory.html#wp1137551
The later url have this
Table 3-9 LDAP Registry Subkeys
Subkey   Names
Description
LDAP_AttributeName_primaryPhoneNumberForSearches
Specify   the phone number that you use to resolve most LDAP queries. This value must   match one of the values specified for the following LDAP keys:
•LDAP_AttributeName_businessPhone
•LDAP_AttributeName_homePhone
•LDAP_AttributeName_mobilePhone
•LDAP_AttributeName_otherPhone
The   values that are valid for the LDAP attribute keys listed above are:
•telephoneNumber
•homePhone
•mobilePhone
•otherTelephone
•a   custom LDAP attribute value, for example, myCustomPhoneNumber
The   value of the LDAP_AttributeName_primaryPhoneNumberForSearches key must match   one of the values in the list above, for example, telephoneNumber. Otherwise,   the value of the LDAP_AttributeName_businessPhone key is used.
The version of CUCiLync is 8.5(3)-4.5.9, that is the latest I can find on the support download page, have also tried with earlier version 8.5.(1).
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to achieve this, if at all possible?

This is the reply we got from TAC.
Regarding to your query, Can you please go through the attached flow diagram (also you can see it in the link given below). I hope it will clarify more on the telephone number display behavior in office communicator.
As per this flow chart presently your setup is working as designed. As per the design, the number should be in E.164 format in order to be available in MOC.
You have AD in your network as a source, so OCS pulls this information from LDAP it is integrated with. As per Microsoft, here you need to add Normalization rules to OCS to normalize the number into the E164 format.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb964002%28office.12%29.aspx
Phone number display for MOC contact:
•-          OCS will not provide a contacts number unless it is correctly formatted to the E.164 standard.
•-          The Address Book Service on OCS processes the contacts phone number and attempts to normalize it.
•-          If correctly normalized then the number is inserted into the OCS address book.
•-          Communicator will only display this normalized number if it is properly formatted in E.164 (+13125551234).
•-          The E.164 standard defines an international numbering plan for public phone systems.
•-          In the E.164 standard, each number contains a country code, an area code, and a subscriber number.
•-          Each phone user has a globally unique number.
•-          In Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, phone numbers in E.164 format must begin with a plus character ("+").
I have done some research to your first question. Can you please just go through the blog given below from the Microsoft.
http://blogs.pointbridge.com/Blogs/schertz_jeff/Pages/Post.aspx?_ID=26.
It tells that If the numbers not in E.164 format then the number will not appear in office communicator if LDAP integrated. Can you please check with Microsoft to see their inputs on this.

Trying to get the contact phone number on Verizon site and it is not working

I am trying to call teh Customer Support number to discuss my Order, but when I go to the Contact Us page and click on the Call Us link, I get a pop-up asking for my zip code and then I am taken right back to the Contact US - no phone #'s given.   This feature worked when I used it last Friday during normal business hours.
I also tried the Live Chat link to see if I could engage a live person that way.   This time the link took me to a page that gave me the option of linking to the Support Knowledge base or accessing the automated customer support 'person' (which is just an FAQ interface).
Help - how can I talk to a live person.    If live help (via phone or chat) is limited to certain hours, that should be posted.   user should not be given the virtual version of the run-around.
Does anyone have the technical contact phone number for Maryland/DC region?

1-800-VERIZON

Both numbers feel like they hit the same place, and I know verizon has been consolidating all their numbers to the main one - so stick with that.

How set maximum of characters for the columns

Hello I use a JTable and I want to set maximum of characters for the columns.
For example column 1 max 10 characters, column 2 max 20 characters, etc..
How can I do this?

The principle is as follows: a table uses certain input components for editing a cell value, e.g. a JCheckBox for Boolean-type values or a JTextField for textual/numerical values. By default, a JTextField doesn't have any size limit, so you can enter as many chars as you want. In order to change this behaviour, you'll have to
1.) create a JTextField that does have a size limit and
2.) set a CellEditor on the JTable which uses this manipulated JTextField.
An easy way for 1.) is to create a custom Document (the internal data representation for text components, the M-part of the MVC -- see javax.swing.text.Document) that doesn't accept any text beyond a given limit, e.g.:
public class LimitedDocument extends PlainDocument {
private int max = 0;
public LimitedDocument(int max) {
    this.max = max;
public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException {
    // too long for the limit; get current contents, insert, and cut off trailing chars
    if ((getLength() + str.length()) > max) {
      StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(getText(0,getLength()));
      buf.insert(offset,str);
      remove(0,len); // remove current text contents
      super.insert(0,buf.toString().substring(0,max),a); // insert whole text
    // no problem, will fit
    else {
      super.insertString(offset,str,a);
}Then, in order to set the cell editor -- for example for the first column --, you can do as follows:
myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(new JTextField(new LimitedDocument(5),"",5)));This will create a new DefaultCellEditor (see javax.swing.table) and initialize it with a given text field which will be responsible for any edition in this column. As the text field itself is created using a limit of 5, it should accept no text insertion beyond 5 chars.

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

Add a pause to contact phone number

I add a pause to a contact phone number than add the extension and save, the problem is that the iphone does not dial the number. Any idea?

Are you dialing from contacts/favorites or from an app? Apps cannot dial pauses.

HT4489 I am trying to import vcards, they are very simple - a name and contact phone number. No pic, no ancillary information, but I get an error then directed to this completely unhelpful page. The vcards are standard exports from another phone.

Try creating the vCard with the app My Contacts Backup, email it to yourself, then open it on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts.

Cannot get contact phone number in new Skype for i...

With the new Skype for iphone, I am unable to get the contact's phone number displayed. If I am doing something wrong, someone please let me know how to do this. If this cannot be done, then the new app makes skype useless because I have multiple contacts with the same phone number and need to see the number.

there is no way to see your contact info on latest ios vesrsion. You can see only name. Thats all. what if I want to call someone on iphone instead of skype call using my international subscription. I've to go to my contact info every time as I dont know skype is calling on my contact's mobile no or skype ID. Its frustrating, time consuming and downgrading of the version. Whats the use of skype if we cant access our own skype contact's info? MICROSOFT(It's not '98 it's 2014)Please fix it. Thank you.

Paid $60 - for a phone number rather than a subscr...

Hi, first a quick rant: I'm an EXTREMELY frustrated new user. I have spent the last hour trying to figure out what I just purchased and what I can do to get an explaination, but whoever created this website did so without a new user in mind.
Quickly: I need help trying to determine what I just purchased and what to do from here.
As Quickly as I can explain what's going on: My friend in Croatia told me he spent $60 for unlimited calling. He can apparently call anywhere to phones - as we made several calls to landlines in both the states and england from his computer. We've since left his place.
As I'm traveling to many countries, I figured this was a great idea, I'll pay up front instead of purchasing credits.
I whipped out my credit card and paid $60 after chosing a number. After about an hour, the transaction cleared on my account with a renewal in 12 months. I went to make a call and it said I didn't have enough credit. After trying to figure out what happened all I can determine is that I might have paid for the use of a phone number for 12 months and not a subscription.
Now of course after trying for several hours trying to find out how to contact Microsoft or Skype - or Whatever help center - for the past hour and finding they deflect all help to their help pages that comes nowhere NEAR helping me or explaining what has happened - and if I made a mistake how to correct it. I apparently need to spend more money for a premium account to get actual advice or any kind of resolution.
Any company that takes money and expects a new user just to GET it, without providing some human interaction is a horrid company.
So I paid for something I didn't want and can't use. I THINK. But I can't request a refund or help because I haven't paid for a premium account.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks so much; I realize you're probably just a user of the service like myself.

I am having the same issue... Except I'm not a new user.
I've had a subscription for many years and this month I lapsed because of a new credit card number. After a few days I went in to resubscribe and everything went smoothly... or so I thought.
I paid $60 bucks for a 12 month subcription and everything seemed to go through... I got charged and I got a confirmation e-mail. Now, here's the rub. Whenever I make a call a message pops up that says "Your call is about to end. You are low on credits." WHAT?!?
I just paid $60 bucks! So, having never had a problem before I procceded to the website to look at my account and possibly send an e-mail to someone that could help me. No dice.
This website needs to provide some sort of support for their users... In fact this is the only post I could find on this subject and, unfortunately, it didn't help me at all. It just showed me that at least one other person has had this problem. When replying to this post a small box opened up, talking about how to fix payment problems. When I followed those links, it lead me to a page that basically said "If your subscription isn't working, it's your fault." WTF! Seriously?!?!
How do we fix this issue?

It is required under Section 212 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. The SBREFA '96 required portability in the largest 100 Metropolitan statistical areas. Then in 2003, the requirement was expanded to ALL carriers regardless of geographical location.
In order for a number to be ported, roughly speaking you must live in the area code's geography. So, you can't port a New York number to Iowa.
If you have a problem porting your phone number from one service provider to another, first try to resolve it with the service provider. If you cannot resolve the problem directly, you can file a complaint with the FCC. There is no charge for filing a complaint. You can file your complaint using an FCC online complaint form. You can also file your complaint with the FCC’s Consumer Center by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) for TTY; faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to the Federal Communications Commission at:
