Phone numbers not properly formatted

I just upgraded to the 4S and most of my phone numbers can't be dialed by SIRI because they are not properly formatted. The numbers that can be dialed are of the form +1-617-nnn-nnnn. The numbers that cannot be dialed are of the form nnnnnnnnnn. I have hundreds of numbers in this format. Any ideas?

Have you tried Settings > General > International to make sure your phone is not set to some incorrect region which might give it trouble interpreting the numbers?

IE 11 with CRM 2011 Lead phone numbers no longer format

We are experiencing some form issues after we moved to IE11. The lead phone numbers no longer format properly and the Opportunity Estimated Revenue no longer calculates. Has anyone else had any issues with IE11 and some javascript not working correctly?
This is actually a bigger issue then we first thought. We have also noticed that the administrative tools for workflows do not work correctly and that the ability to change columns in views no longer work as expected. Once I downgraded from IE11 back to
IE9. All is working as expected again.

rollup installed? because IE11 is compatible from rollup 17.
the javascript use only supported code? you can share the script if you want

Phone numbers not recognised (sms & incoming)

After a momunmental mobile me sync disaster (it somehow trippled every contact), I had to wipe mobile me (and subsequently all conatcs on my phone) and restore it from a back up. Activating one device at a time and replacing info on device with new data on mobile me.
When I did this with the iPhone, the contacts were restored, but all messages recieved from my contacts appear as phone numbers not names, so I have no idea who sent them. Also, half of incoming calls have the same problem, not using contact info - just the number. Have backed up & resotred my phone (from said backup) and issue continues.
Any idaes on how to resolve?

I already have most recent update 4.3.3

Phone numbers not appearing correctly in Messages

I love the new feature that allows you to reply to anyone in Messages, not just users with iOS devices.
However it doesn't seem to be bringing up my saved contacts correctly. On my iPhone I will receive the message with their name as it is saved in my contacts, where as on my Mac it comes up as just their number. One year ago I moved from the UK to the US, and although I bought my Mac in the US, when I go to reply to the number on my Mac, it is adding +44 in front of it, so obviously these messages are not going through (or if they are they're going to the wrong person!)
Is there a way around this? To set my Messages up to be default to +1, so therefore the numbers come up correctly as they do on my iPhone??
Thanks,
Mark

Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging. Is ther a way to prevent that from happening?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Indent in Slides not properly formatting

I've got an issue which is probably a simplistic fix, but it's driving me nuts. I've been creating final test slides and have a problem with indenting on some of the bullets. I'm using captivate 5.5, and here is the issue in picture format.
As you can see, the first three properly formatted, the 4th and 5th options came in as different indentions than A-C. We also have a different size font for E.
I'm sure this is something simplistic, but is there something I'm doing wrong to fix this?
Thanks all

I always try to repro the issue, couldn't.
So I wonder if you didn't change the formatting on the first slide, and you could check that by selecting a answer and see if the Default Question Answer Style, that it has not a small + sign which points to individual changing of that answer?
All answers should have the same style. Can you check first?

'other' phone numbers not synchronised from outloo...

when synchronising contacts in outlook, phone numbers that appear under the category 'others' as oppose to business, or mobile are not synchronised. they show up in outlook, but not on the phone!
is it possible to either:
a) synchronise these
b) automaticaly change the number type to another,
c) solve this problem in another way?
the contacts were all synchronised from an earlier phone, where they show up as normal....

I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
(Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
Hope i helped someone
1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

Outlook contact "other" phone numbers not syncing.

It seems when I have multiple phone numbers in an Outlook contact other than work, home, mobile, and other; these phone numbers aren't syncing to the iphone. These are numbers that, in Outlook, you have to click on the field to select and see the other number.
For instance, say I have a contact with a work, home, mobile, and other phone number. In Outlook, I want to add a Home 2 phone number. So I click next to the home field in Outlook and select "Home 2" and then enter a number. Now I have both numbers stored in Outlook, Home and Home 2, albiet I have to toggle between the two to see them.
These are Exchange activesync accounts and I have replicated this with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010. Outlook 2010 is the other side of the equation.
Home 2 doesn't come over to the iPhone. And it not just "Home 2", that was used as an example. It's essentially, it seems, any numbers that you add beyond the four fields available in the Outlook contact. I would really be surprised if it wasn't capable of syncing this. Am I missing something? Anyone else having the issue or successfully dealing with it? TIA.

Messages display phone numbers not contact name

After I updated my iPhone 4s last night my messages come in displaying the phone number not the contact name. I checked the number in the contact and they are the same. The number 1 is not in the contact or in the message display. I have readded a contact and it will work after that. I don't really want to redo my complete contact list. Anyone have any idea's?

I figured it out.

Phone numbers not formatting properly

I just got a new iPhone 4S. The numbers in my address book don't seem to be formatting properly. They just have a string of numbers, e.g.., 6025551212, rather than the normal format of area code in parentheses and a hyphen in the number.
This goes beyond aesthetics. The phone doesn't match numbers, so my recent calls list and my SMS history don't have names associated, even though almost all of the numbers are in my address book.
Here is some more information: I just got the iPhone 4S today, and I plugged it into my Mac and chose to do a restore from backup. I selected today's backup of my old iPhone 3GS. Everything else went smoothly. (note that the number didn't transfer... this is a totally new phone number on a totally new account.)
Even more information that might help in troubleshooting this: when I go into Settings --> Phone, it shows my number formatted in the way I described above (e.g., 4805551212). But here's the weird thing -- I can't edit that! There is no rightward-facing arrow that indicates you can click on it, and repeated clicks don't do anything. On my iPhone 3GS (which formats its number correctly), I can go in there and edit it.
I should also mention that this is a U.S. phone with a U.S. number on a U.S. carrier (Verizon), and most of the numbers in the address book are U.S. numbers. So there aren't any strange international issues going on. I have searched through the settings and U.S. is selected for all of the international settings I can find.
Finally, this is a phone issued by my company, and the IT person opened the box, "provisioned it," added it to the corporate account, got a new number assigned to it, etc... Does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for the help! I'm pulling my hair out!

I found the solution on an outside forum: http://forums.tipb.com/iphone-4s-forum/221242-iphone-4s-contacts.html
This seems to only affect Verizon devices. If you are not using Verizon, this fix will not work for you.
Here is the summary of the steps I took to correct the issue:
1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix.
If you are still broken, kill the Message App again, then reboot your phone.

Phone Numbers not saving!

I just got my phone today..i saved my nubers to my sim but they didnt appear when i turned the phone on..so i entered them in manually..i got a tex off a friend but just her number came up and not her name??? im useless with phones so i hope someone can help...

First off, I wouldn't recommend saving your "numbers to your SIM".
Save them to your BlackBerry contacts in your Address Book.
There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.

I am the owner of an account with 4 lines. I cannot see the text messages for 1 of the lines. How can I see them usage and phone numbers, not the content. Thanks

Looking to see the frequency and numbers texted on one of the lines which I am the account owner of. I only see texts I placed to this number,

Zoupie,
This is something we can definitely figure out together! Are you able to get the phone for a few minutes? If so, please go to Settings>Cellular and scroll down. You will find a list of the apps on the phone. I'm curious to see if there are any messenger apps listed such as Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, ect...... These apps can send the messages via the internet connection instead of via our texting system and would not show up in our records.

Phone numbers not recognized in copy/paste

how do you get copy /paste to work when copying numbers from an email or calendar and want to paste into phone or sms message,. wont work

Thanks doesnt really work. Is like 7 steps and have to go from keyboard to manually pushing on screen to force the paste since data not recognized. Way harder than the prior bold o/s which auto-recognized links and numbers and was a one touch copy and paste using menu key. Need fixing. Cant paste from xls or email to email or sms message
