Phone number format in query

I have a field in the database that is a phone number and the
record is 9516774452 and I need to display it on the page as (951)
677-4452. I am using asp/vbscript with an access database. -
Thanks

Use left(), right() and mid() to extract the various parts
and assemble them back together with (,) and - concatenated in the
proper spots.

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:

SQL phone number format check

Hello, I am looking for a programmatic way to check phone number formats in my database using SQL. The phone numbers MUST be one of 2 formats:
XXX-XXX-XXXX or (XXX)XXX-XXXX
I want to return the row if they are NOT one of these formats.
Thank you!

This?
SQL> WITH t AS (
2     SELECT '555-555-1212' phone FROM dual UNION ALL
3     SELECT '( 555 )555-1212' FROM dual UNION ALL
4     SELECT '555 555 1212' FROM dual UNION ALL

555 555 1212
555 555-1212If you are on 11g, you could also do something with regexp_like, but personally, I think it would be overkill. If spaces are not invalid as long as the rest meets the format, two parens and a hyphen or two hyphens (i.e. the second one could be valid, but not the third and fifth) then use replace to get rid of spaces first and nvl to deal with nulls like:

Change Phone Number Format

Can we change phone number format from "US" to "Australia" phone number format?

And Dutch and Irish too, Please?

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!

International Phone Number formatting

Hello all,
I'm wondering if there are any open source phone number formatting libraries out there? The phone numbers can come from anywhere in the world.
I would get something like this
0112024444444
Algeria
and get
011 20 (2) 444-4444
Thanks,
Ralph

I'm sure there are, but there's a lot of formats out there. Why not just have a single field and let people put what they want. If it's not a valid number, then they won't get a call.

Allow Multiple Phone Number Formats

Hi folks,
In the past I have always set the Phone Number format using the simple Arbitrary Mask feature in the text box properties e.g. (99) 9999 9999 but I have a form where two different phone number formats are acceptable (an Australian landline OR mobile).
They are:
(99) 9999 9999
9999 999 9999
Is this only possible through the magic of Javascript? I have tried Googling and found nothing.

Thank you for your reply GKaiseril. I think I'm starting to undertsand it a little bit, especialyul after reading a similar thread that you contruibuted to here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/861867
My understanding is that the "vr re_NA_Phone_Commit =" bit specifies where the spaces are in the strong of numebrs, where the brackets go etc. But doesn't this still only set one type of format?
If I use the following code, it turns 0399999999 (an example landline number) into (03) 5499 9999, great! But if I typed in 0499999999 (an example mobile number) I want it to become 0499 999 999 becasue that's how we format mobile numbers.
// custom format
var re_NA_Phone_Commit = /^$?([0-9]{2})$?[. ]?([0-9]{4})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/
if(re_NA_Phone_Commit.test(event.value))
event.value = "("+ RegExp.$1 +") " + RegExp.$2 + "-" + RegExp.$3;
else {
event.value = "";
event.rc = false;
// end custom format

Help: Enforce phone number format through DB trigger

Hi,
I am trying to create a trigger in DB that will alter any phone number insert or update into a standard format as (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
For example,
1. if user attempts to insert 123-456-7890, the trigger will alter it as (123) 456-7890
2. if user attempts to insert 1234567890, the trigger will alter it as (123) 456-7890
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Phone number format edit

Hello everyone, i have a problem with my iPhone 4S. I'm from Romania so it's not a verizon problem only... When a person in my contact list is calling me it only shows the numer of the caller not the ID, but after i hang-up and go to call history it shows the ID. I tried to put +4 in front of the number but now when someone is calling it shows the ID but in call history it shows the phone number. The phone is Jailbroken so if there is any solution what requires a jailbroken phone i am happy to try it out. The format region is on Romania and the International Assist is OFF. I tried as many things i could find on the internet about this but still can't figure it out. Can you guys help me? My firmware is 5.1.1 and i DON'T want to upgrade to 6 because i use a gevey sim card to unlock it, so anything else that can help ?

Thanks, indeed. I had my Phone language set to "English (United States)" . I never thought that this would change the number format. I changed it to English and now it's ok.
+ it stopped with that annoying correction while i'm writing text.
So double thanks

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.

Phone number format in Mountain Lion

My old Address Book (prior to Mountain Lion's change to Contacts) had hundreds of phone numbers wirth the preference that they would NOT be auto formatted --- I entered the numbers just as I wanted them to appear. Now, after updating to Mountain Lion, all my phone numbers ar formatted the SAME (U.S. convention with use of parenthesis) which is not what I want. Anyone know of a workaround (or will Apple correct this with an update?).

D. Hoffmann wrote:
Apple's software engineers probably all live in the greater San Francisco are, where there aren't any area code overlays, which would potentially explain why they didn't think to allow xxx-xxx-xxxx as an alternative format.
I think the explanation is that they all have cell phones. Apple expects everyone to be in the habit of prefixing all phone numbers with "+<country code>". If you do that, your cell phone will be smart enough to figure out how many digits it needs to dial. Land lines can't do that. Here in Ontario, things are pretty antiquated, If I dial a 905 number, it may or may not be local. I can't tell until I try. If I don't add the 1, I'll be chastised for attempting to make a long distance call without the 1 and get hung up on. If I just add the one and don't need it, I'll be chastised for that too and hung up on.
So, if you create a phone number in Contacts with "+1", you get a US-style number useable anywhere in the world from a cell phone. If you prefix with a "+33", you get a French-style number useable from anywhere on a cell phone. Apple doesn't do hybrids because that assumes you are dialing the number by hand and no one does that anymore.

Phone number format inconsistency

I really like the letter templates in Pages, but have been having the following problem for some time (in previous versions of Pages as well as Pages '09): the format of my phone number and fax number is not consistent.
For example, my address will appear as:
555 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10003
T (555) 555-5555
F 555-555-5556
I have no idea what causes this or how to remedy it. I tried fiddling with Address Book.app, but nothing there seems to have any effect.
Any ideas?

This is an address book issue. Got to address book, preferences, phone, then choose your format. You will have to change the formatting of old entries.

Hi All,
We Are trying to give in phone number field as number start with 099235623 or +91- like that
but it is not allowing to chage format
it is taking 99235623 eventhouh we entered as infront of zero
our requirement is we need to enter zero also
please give any idea
Thanks
Rio

Hi,
First Check the Data Type of the Field. That must be "DTYPE_PHONE". If this is the Data Type, then, it will allow the phone format set at the Locale Level for the Application. Check the Format at Locale Level.
[OR]
It's simple, you can change the Data Type of the particular Field to "DTYPE_TEXT".

Outlook 2007 phone number format incompatible with...

I use MS Outlook to organise my E-mail, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Notes, etc.
With Contacts, the Outlook format is for example:
+00 (000) 0000000
Nokia PC Suite can recognise the above number while Nokia Ovi Suite cannot.
For example, in PC Suite, in Messages, the above Outlook format is recognised and assigned the correct name and other details.

outlook and the phone does synchronise, that is, the contacts from outlook synchronises with the contactsin the phone. the issue i have is with the Ovi Suite Messaging.
there are two types of contacts and the number format:
1. contacts i added using the mobile phone and has the number format:
+000000000000
2. contacts i added using Outlook and has the number format:
+00 (000) 0000000
in Ovi Suite Messanging, the names of the contacts using method 1, those added using the phone, appear. when the person sends a message, the software recocnises the number, associates the name and messaging thread
the contacts added using method 2, on the other hand, are not recognised by the software, and therefore appear as the number (+000000000000) rather than the name.
and so i have two messaging threads for every contact:
1. a thread where i sent the text, because i used the number from Outlook. and its all sent messages
2. a thread where i received the text because the Ovi Suite does not recognise the number +000000000000 because the number in the contact that was from outlook is +00 (000) 0000000
with Nokia PC Suite, the software associates the number with the contact from Outlook. so i would receive a message with +000000000000 and it would assign the correct contact with +00 (000) 0000000
will this get sorted? i like the concept of the Ovi Suite but its not very user friendly. now im tempted to get either a blackberry or iphone.
