Smart phones compare last 7 digits only, recognize...

Hi,
I have a problem with my N70 and I believe it exists with other smart phones models as I've read in other forum. Not exists in my old Nokia 6230i nor other than nokia models.
The problem is that new nokia phones recognize two different numbers as duplicate if the last 7 digits are the same. In Saudi Arabia the mobile numbers are 10 digits. So If I have in my contacts two different persons and both their mobile number ending with same 7 digits and one of them called me, the name will not appear. Instead, the number will appear. Also, in the call list (dialed, received, missed) the name will not appear. It's common to find two persons with same last 7 digits number. And some maybe request that (father and son, mother and daughter, husband and wife).
Nokia smart phones having this problem long time ago. And many update released for many phones models, but, still having the same problem.
Regards
Fawwaz

@ slay, if you want to tell something to Nokia use the 'contact us' button in the upper right hand side of this page. this is a user to user forum. Nokia will not hear you on these boards at least not in official capacity, nor will they respond to your plea...just keep that in mind.

Should I upgrade to a Smart Phone?

I've been eligible for an upgrade for quite some time, but haven't done so because I like my current device. But now the device is wearing out so I am preparing to upgrade. I like the appearance of many of the smart phones. But I only use my phone for voice calls, a few texts per year, some web browsing (especially watching youtube videos) and lots of email. In fact I use the phone more for email than all other tasks combined. I currently have the 25MB pkg but am not using that much data.
With Verizon's new pricing structure, a smart phone plan would cost me only a few dollars more than a basic phone plan. So I'm asking, is it worth it for me to get a smart phone even though I would not be using apps, listening to/downloading music, or even using the camera? And if so, what kind of phone would you suggest? I like having a physical keyboard, and I've read that the Pantech Marauder is a good phone for "beginners" like myself.

Good point, lewisr13. Currently I am on the cheapest voice plan, 39.99/month for 450 minutes and the 9.99/month data pkg. So that's $50/month + taxes. I absolutely love the (basic) device I have...but after 3 years it is wearing out. The colors on the screen are now all reddish and sometimes change to bluish. And sometimes there's "static" during voice calls. When the phone breaks I will have no choice but a get a new one, whether with Verizon or with some other carrier. I plan to stay with Verizon. If I switch carriers I'd have the activation fee + the cost of a new device (although that could be free too). To stay with Verizon I'd have the $30 updgrade fee but also a loyalty discount on a new device (which could be free anyway).
So now my options are: (1) purchase a device at full price and keep my current plan. (2) get a new basic phone at a discounted price or even free and get on the cheapest Share Everything Plan which would be I think $70 + taxes. Or maybe it's $60 + taxes. (3) For just a little more $, get a smartphone at a discounted price or even free and get on the Share Everything Plan.
On the Share Everything Plan I'd have Unlimited minutes.
As Jennifer mentioned, there are many services and features out there that I don't even know about. I am sure I will use some of these. As far as the higher cost....everything is going up but at least in this case I'll be getting something for my money. Most other things -such as gas - we're simply paying more for the same amount of the same item.

Symbian reading only last 6 digits problem! critic...

I was told that the problem with symbian phones reading only the last 6 digits of the callers phone number has been around for some time now.
Let me explain to all the people that do not know what i'm talking about:
The problem is that the phone only reads the last 6 numbers of the callers phone nubmer and then searches your contacts for this number. Well that works "ok" untill you have a phone number like 041-XYZ-XYZ and 031-XYZ-XYZ stored in your phone book. Now there are 3 possible outcomes:
1.) You have neither of the number stored in your phonebook = you will get the correct caller NUMBER displayed
2.) You have one of the numbers in your phonebook = no mater which number calls you, the ID will allways be the number you have stored.
3.)in the 3rd case where you have both numbers stored, you will get the right number that is calling you, but not the caller ID of that number that you have stored in your phonebook.
So, my question is, IS NOKIA PLANNING TO RELEASE A FIX FOR THIS??? Because it's been here for too long! I had a nokia 6234 before my n78 now, and this problem was fixed there, have in mind that the 6234 is 2 years older!
So how come that you cannot make a software update for symbian smart phones in at least 2 years? After all they are called SMART PHONES.
Nokia help center from slovenia didn't have an answer wheter there is a fix on this problem beeing made....
Please help, it's realy anoing, and talk about identity theft (it works the same with SMS's too) --> Whats the presidents and his secretary number again?!

How to display only last 4 digits of tax number in Vendor Master view MK03

Dear experts,
In the Vendor Master view by Purchasing Organization (MK03), is there a way that will allow the user to view only the last four digits of the Vendor tax number?
For example: Display only **-*-6789 (or blank spaces), instead of 123-45-6789 ?
Any ideas and insights are much appreciated. Will award points for help.

In your report, just do a substr(ssn,5,4) for your new & improved SSN field to be displayed:
SELECT First,

Apple Pay: The last 4 digits of my device account number is not showing up on my phone.

My credit card company needs the last 4 digits of my device account number, and only ***** (stars) show up under my divice account number. I have 8.1 installed, and have tried restarting my phone. Any suggestions on how to get my divice account number to show?

It sounds like your bank requires additional authentication before you can use Apple Pay. It does not look like there was a token activated for your wallet. When you are in your Passbook app- does it say under the card that your card is activated and ready for Apple Pay? If it does not, contact your Bank to get DAN (token) activated.
DAN will show once token is provisioned and activated, no need for transaction to occur first.
Hope this helps.
My credit card is obviously activated, as I was just able to use Apple Pay with it at a store (where they didn't ask for any DAN code). When I view the card in Passbook, it says nothing about whether it's been activated, one way or the other, but obviously the card is working for Apple Pay.
But I just did find the DAN, way, way down at the very bottom of the Info page, below the whole list of recent transactions.
Nowhere in any documentation I've seen does it indicate that this would be at the very bottom and one has to scroll so far down. Does seem like an unfriendly place to put it,

Last 7 digits of contact phone numbers confuse Synegy?

Hi -- I have posted a more detailed description of the issue (including how I came across this issue) at:
http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/213995-weird-sms-addressing-feature.html
Basically, my issue is this:
Background: All phone numbers in my contacts list are 10 digit U.S. numbers with (ABC) DEF-GHIJ format. 99% of my Synergy contacts are from Google with just 10 or so of 700+ coming from my company's Exchange. To my knowledge, I currently DO NOT have multiple contacts with the same last 7 digits DEF-GHIJ, but during my personal testing for this issue, I did create a dummy contact record (see below)
Issue(s):
* Let's say I have a contact record for my wife which has her mobile # as 617-DEF-GHIJ. If I begin a new SMS (using phone # to address the SMS rather than her name) to XYZ-DEF-GHIJ, where XYZ is ANY random 3 digits....555, 567, 345, etc... then the contact field will update to populate with my wife's name after I move the cursor focus to the SMS body text. I have not actually tried to complete an outbound text this way, but I believe the text would actually be sent to the XYZ... area code and not actually to my wife's 617 mobile # (I assume this based on the phone call analog below)
* Same issue with phone # dialing: I dial XYZ-DEF-GHIJ instead of my wife's 617-DEF-GHIJ. On pressing send, the phone connection screen show's my wife's contact name and her contact photo (along with the incorrect XYZ phone number). However, the call is routed to the incorrect phone #.
* Finally, I added a test contact "Joe Test" with a phone number of 555-DEF-GHIJ. In doing so, Synergy immediately linked the new Joe Test contact as second profile under my wife's contact record. It also changed her name in my SMS history to now reflect Joe Test rather than my wife's name... I didn't realize this happened until I saw that Joe Test had sent an SMS asking me to bring home some milk. I then unlinked the Joe Test profile from her contact record. (leaving him in my contact list as his own separate contact entry). However, even when unlinked from her profile and with not exactly the same phone #, her full SMS history still indicated Joe Test and not my wife's name. Only after I deleted the Joe Test record from my contact list was my wife's photo and name correctly re-attached to her SMS history (this might have only happened after she sent me a new SMS message and not immediately).
Clearly, this was some intentionally implemented feature to support 7-digit dialing or the synergy contact linking gone awry. Also, clearly it's not likely to greatly impact a lot of people, since a user must have two contacts with the same 7-digit phone number (within a 10 digit phone record entry) to really be impacted. However, it seems to be a significant enough problem that it should be addressed in a future update.
Please advise if my issue report is unclear or cannot be repeated at Palm. I don't have access to another WebOS device yet, but I am nearly certain that this is not an issue solely related to my Pre. I'm happy to help debug if you cannot repeat the issue.
best,
John Greenaway
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Still there, and definitely a bug
Presumably as part of the Synergy implementation, the Prē apparently considers any telephone number string, including multiple numbers associated with the same contact, ending in the same last seven digits to be the same.
Unfortunately, this is not as unlikely as the original poster supposes: even discounting the "birthday paradox", reuse of PINs--especially of six or more digits, followed typically by '#'--makes the problem especially obnoxious for multiple, personal voicemail numbers embedded in a single contact entry: all but the first is hidden, except when editing the contact.
The only workaround seems to be to pad with trailing, timed delays ('t'), so that the comparison will fail: since the telephone app permits "dialing through" a delay, it doesn't interfere with use of a service, but is highly counterintuitive!

In Lion, Word for Mac only prints last two digits of year

In Snow Leopard, the automatic dates that auto fill in Word for Mac (08, 2011) worked fine...BUT since I 'upgraded' to Lion, (10.7.3) only the last two digits of the year will autofill, EVEN in full date mode...ie, SHOULD BE:
February 21, 2012
BUT auto filled as: February 21, 12
I saw on a MS help site that it's ID'ed as a problem in Lion:
From http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macword/automatic-dat e-entry-doesnt-enter-entire-year/91793432-006b-4f6a-99fa-cf425266cb84
This was the query:
automatic date entry doesn't enter entire year
Applies To: Office for Mac | Office 2008 for Mac | Word for Mac
When I enter the weekday at the beginning of a sentence, the month, date and year are automatically filled in. However, instead of having the whole years, such as 2011, it only enters the last two digits, such as "11". This is new since an update a month or so ago. I would like to set it back to the original "Friday, November 04, 2011" if possible.
Appreciate any help I can get.
ANSWER:
Its a bug in OSX.7 evidently MS has not rung up Apple and said hey get off your duff and fix this date issue. If you can find a place to send bug report to Apple do so.
So I checked the OSX Lion support site on apple.com and could not find an answer.
Does anyone know how to fix or how to get Apple to fix?
Thank you.

It's a bug, but whether it's a bug for Apple to fix or for Microsoft to fix is unknown. The thread you post is unauthoritative, being only comments by other users who have no more idea as to where the bug really lies (unless an Apple engineer has confirmed a Lion bug, something I've not seen) as any other user does; no one in that thread works for or speaks for either Microsoft nor Apple.
You can comment on the issue to Apple, if you wish:

but whether it's something they can fix or whether it's Microsoft's problem I can't say.

Create a customer code using the First letter of a customer name and the last 4 digits of a phone number

I am trying to create a form where one the customer has input their name and phone number it should grab the first letter of the customer's name and then the last 4 digits of the phone number.
I am not very good at coding, and have VERY VERY limited background in coding. I understand a little (the basics pretty much).
I am thinking i am not using the right expression to get what i want. Below is the statement I have write. This is just to find the first letter of the name, have an idea on how to get the phone number but i was trying the use the "left" and "right" functions but they wouldn't work. More specifically the left.
form1.#subform[0].CustCode::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
str = CustName;
var a = str.substr(0, 1);
any help would be greatly appreciated.
If more information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you switch your language to FormCalc you can use the Left and Right functions, e.g.
Concat(Left(Name,1) , Right(Phone,4))

HT5961 I want to receive the verification code for the keychain but I was sent to unknown number because the last two digits do not represent my phone number

I want to receive the verification code for the keychain but I was sent to unknown number because the last two digits do not represent my phone number, so how can I change it to receive it on my cell phone ?

I found this in the iCloud Keychain FAQs:
How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
- Your iCloud Security Code
- The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
- If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
So it seems that you would have to directly contact the Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/

For the last 3 months only, I am unable to complete my online payments on your website. I get as far as method of payment, check the box, and click next. Then nothing happens. What gives. I have to then pay by phone. Just frustrating.

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

Take last 4 digits in Business Phone and add to IP Phone atttribute

Hope someone can help. We have all our users 10 digit phone number in Active Directory under the Business Phone. We are integrating our Phone system with AD but want to pull the IP Phone attribute from AD into the phone system. Does anyone know of a way
to look at the users Business Phone attribute and look at the last 4 digits of the number and add it to the ip phone attribute. We are hoping to not have to do this manually for each user.
Thanks,
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
Assuming you're referring to the 'Telephone number' field in ADUC, this will do what you're after:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Test 1,DC=domain,DC=com' -Properties OfficePhone | ForEach {
$phoneNumber = $_.OfficePhone.Substring($_.OfficePhone.Length - 4, 4)
Set-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Replace @{ipPhone=$phoneNumber}
This will replace the IP Phone field with the last 4 characters present in the telephoneNumber attribute for every user in the targeted OU.
Don't retire TechNet! -

I am eligible for an upgrade on my basic phone that I own. Since there are only a small amount of basic phones, is it possible to own a smart phone but without a data plan?

There are only two basic phone with full keyboard that is available online, but was hoping that it would be possible for me to own a smart phone without needing a data plan.

You can own and use a smartphone on wifi only, without a data plan, but you will not have the capability to use it as a phone on Verizon's network. To activate a smartphone and have calling (phone) capability, yes, you do need to have a data plan for the smartphone line. You CAN have a minimal data plan, and use it on wifi primarily - but yoju DO need a data plan.

IMessage only recognize Apple ID / Email but not phone number. Why?

I have a small problem with the iMessage. My phone only recognize and auto detect the apple ID but not the phone number who are available for iMessage. Does anyone experienced the same problem?
These print screen below is 2 examples from my contact who actually available for the iMessage with their phone number.

i think i have found a fix for this its worked for me so its worth a try. You will need the other persons phone to do this.
1) Delete the contact from your phone.
2) On your phone go to Settings > Messages then tap receive at, it it has your Apple ID e-mail address at the top tap that and sign out this will remove your e-mail address from iMessage leaving just your phone number.
3) Go back to Message settings turn off iMessage.
4) Turn off your phone and back on.
5) Go back to Settings > Messages and turn back on iMessage it will then reactivate iMessage
Now for your friends phone
1) Go to yourself on your friends contact list and remove your e-mail address if they have it saved.
2) Go to Settings > Messages then tap receive at, if it has their Apple ID e-mail address at the top tap that and sign out removing their e-mail address.
3) Go back to Message settings turn off iMessage.
4) Turn off their phone and turn it back on
5) Go back to Settings > Messages and turn back on iMessage
once reactivated on both phones follow these steps.
1) Send a message from your friends phone to yours
2) On your phone the message should come through and will have your friends mobile number at the top
3) Reply to your friends message.
4) Save your friends phone number as a contact again leaving the the country code (i.e UK country code +44)
5) Delete the message between you and your friend on your phone then compose a new message and and select your friends number and it should automatically send as a iMessage send the message then go back to your contacts remove the Country code from the number and from there on then the iMessage will detect that persons phone number as a iMessage compatible device.
This has worked for me and 3 other of my friends who where having the same problem with a number of their contacts, it seems the error is more to do with your friends phone, when activating iMessage for the first time it automatically defaults to the Apple ID and in some cases causing the phone number not to register correctly with the Apple servers this step by step removes the e-mail and reactivates nothing but the phone number with the iMessage servers.
Hope This Helps.
