Phone number display format

We are looking for a way to personalize the display format of phone number.
I am at a company where there is a SAPphone or alike software connection to auto-dail using the SAP screen. Other then most companies here this is done from ECC rather then from CRM.
For this, the Phone numbers are stored flat, without spaces, hashes and the like.
In SAP there are setting for how to display date and numbers. I did not yet find a way to do the same with phonenumbers. There is an international requirement on how to display the numbers, and storing these numbers formatted is in my opinion not the preferred way to do it.
There are function modules to format the numbers from flat stored numbers, but that will mean cloning standard transactions to Z versions so that the FM can be used. I would rather not do this too.
Anyone any ideas?

I am having the same issue with My Treo 700. Did anyone find a resolution to this problem. I think it is more than annoying. For no reason the formatting just changed.
Thanks for you help.

Number Display Format

Number display. At the top of the phone is a 10 digit phone number all mashed together. I’ve seen documentation that indicates that this can be displayed in a more readable format (XXX) XXX-XXX. I’d llik to know how to control how this is displayed. example 4087632345 vs (408) 763-2345

The number displayed at the top right corner of the phone is based on the External Phone Number Mask configured on at the line level for the primary line of the phone. However, the characters allowed are 0-9, +, *, #, and X. The individual line text (displayed next to each configured line/button) can be formatted as text but that doesn't seem to be what you are referring to.

Date and number display format

Hello all,
I am new to Adobe Form, and I am quite unimpressed with how difficult it is to do the most simple things.
I have managed one way or another to solve all my problems until now, but this one got me stuck.
I have date and number fields in my form, and here is what I want to do but cannot:
- I need these fields to be displayed using the defaults date and number settings of the SAP user who is generating the form. This one is really hard for me to figure out.
- I need some other fields to be displayed in a specific format depending on a variable in the context of my form. I imagine this could be done using scripting, but how to change the display format of a field via scripting?
Anyone has an idea of how that can be achieved?
Thank you.

Hi Thomas,
For these kind of issues you will get many answers if you search the forum.
If your requirement is to display the current date in the form, just drag and drop the "Current date" UI element from the Library palette -> Custom.
If it is to get the date from SAP and display, pass date to the context node and just drag and drop the field into the form from the data view.
Check the following wiki by Chintan. It explains some common scenarios in javascript.

[JavaScript Part 2|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartII]
Use an 'if' condition, check the value and based on the value you can make the field hide/visible in the form.
Hope this will help.

Broadband Phone Number displays

Hi,
My Gigaset SL910A phone has a facility to send and receive text messages provided CLIP is enabled. However we are unable to send text messages and any sent to us are converted to a voice message by BT. It looks like CLIP is enabled as when we dial out on our phone the receivers caller display shows our phone number but displays our Broadband phone number rather than the true home number.
I have gone into the Home Hub 2 settings but can't see how to disable the broadband phone number. Does anyone know if I can somehow turn the broadband phone off and get our number shows as the normal home phone number? I think this may solve the text problem as it looks as if the Gigaset phone number is being blocked by HH@ which then transmits the broadband number to whoever we phone.
We are ex-dirctory if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help,
Mickey

You must have asked for your number to be withheld when you ordered your phone line.
You can disable it on a call-by-call basis by prefixing the number with 1470.
You have it permanently enabled, you would have to ask BT.
The broadband talk number gives you free evening calls, if you are only on a basic package. Also, some International calls are cheaper.
The service is to be discontinued by BT at the end of the year anyway.
Your hub phone (s) will still work when you disable telephony, but the calls will be made on your normal landline number.
The crackling on the line does not sound very good, but it could be the relay in the HH2, which can cause that.
Its worth checking your line with a normal phone, as a bad line can affect your broadband speed.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

JSpinner Number Display Format

Hello,
I am using a JSpinner with a SpinnerNumberModel to display an integer whose range
is 5000 to 9,999 (incremented by 1). The JSpinner shows the current number as an
integer with a comma (i.e. 6,300). Is there an easy way to remove the
comma from the JSpinners display? (i.e 6300).
Thanks!
Michelle

It's quite simple to test
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Spin extends JFrame implements ActionListener
JSpinner spinner;
public Spin()
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setLocation(400,300);
    spinner = new JSpinner(new SpinnerNumberModel(5000, 5000, 9999, 100));
    JPanel jp = new JPanel();
    JButton btn = new JButton("Spinner Value");
    btn.addActionListener(this);
    jp.add(spinner);
    jp.add(btn);
    getContentPane().add(jp);
    pack();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,spinner.getValue());
public static void main(String[] args) {new Spin().setVisible(true);}
}

Fract/Exp String to Numbe Display Format

I have a Numeric String which has a large decimal value, with the Digits of precision ranging upto 16 digits. I want to convert this String to a Numeric value and I have used a 'Fract/Exp String to Number'. In my VI I hae set:
Data Type: EXT (because it allows Number of Decimal Digits from 15 to 20)
Data Format: Floting Point
Digits: 16
Precision Type: Precision Digits
The following is my question: If the input string has Precision Digits = 15 Eg: 5.369607712106161
Then I am getting output = 5.3696077121061609, which is about the same, but not the same number I sent.
or , String 1.145152879691825 gives me number = 1.1451528796918251
String 5.818356760119754 gives me number = 5.8183567601197543
Please suggest how I can make the output more precise.
Thank you.

H.

Why does my email, not my phone number, display to the recipient when I text message them?

I want my number, not my email to show up to the recpiant. How do I change it?

In regards to iMessage - Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
What is selected for Caller ID?
This has nothing to do with regular SMS/MMS.

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?
Roger Kallberg

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.

Can't change the phone number that appears on the front screen

My phone used to belong to my mom and I had it unlocked so I could use it overseas. However, her phone number still shows up on the front screen even though I've had 2 different sim cards in it, each with their own number. How do I change it to my current number?

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.

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.

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:

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!
