Special Characters in phone numbers - 6085

I have looked through the entire User's Guide for my 6085 and cannot find how to store special characters, such as pause, in the telephone number. Lots of info about special characters for texting but not phone number. Is this feature not available?

Pressing the '*' key 3 times gets you a 'p' (2 second pause), and pressing it 4 times gets you a 'w' (wait).
NB: I've not tried this on a S40 phone like the 6085 so test it before taking my word for it!

Special characters in phone number

Hi,
My company decided that all private calls should be made with the prefix *140# in the phone number, allowing seperation in the bill.
First I added this prefix to the phone numbers of all my private contacts in the Address Book, but when i performed a sync with my sony ericsson k750 i noticed that the * and # didn't go into the phone.
If I on the other hand added the prefix to a number on the phone and then performed a sync the * and # came along into the Address Book. But performing another sync after this deleted the * and # on the phone.
Any thoughts about this?
best regards
Oskar

Looks like a bug in Apple iSync 2.2. I would report this to Apple directly.

What's wrong with the built-in keyboard on my macbook? The caps button does not work rite, no matter what letter button i push they all come out capitals and the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers!

the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.

You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).

Have a problem in Numbers with entering data directly into a cell when a table reaches a certain size and special characters are used?

I am creating a list of words with special characters in some of them. I get to a point where I cannot enter data directly into the cell. I have to use the data entry bar at the top in the toolbar. Any solutions available?
This is the table I am creating...
From row 25 on, I am only able to enter data into the cell through the toolbar at the top and not directly into the cell itself. I believe that this problem originates from the special characters I have inserted in the previous records because if I do not use special characters, then the spreadsheet acts flawlessly. Have there been issues in Numbers with data entry, the size of a table, and using special characters?

I would try removing the rows with "special" characters one at a time to see which one is causing the problem

Special Characters Table makes crash Numbers & Pages

Hello All,
I have a small problem with Numbers & Pages.
When I open the "special characters" table and keep it opened to insert characters, after 3 or 4 insertion, it makes freeze and crash Pages or / and Numbers.
However, I've found out that if I close this "SC" windows after each one or two insertion, and re-open it for next insertion, everything run smoothly. Obviously, this method is very messy if you've got to get special characters twice or three times in every word you're typing.
Anybody has faced the same issue or found a better way to solve it ?
Thanks

Hello
I never met this behaviour so I made a new try.
I was able to insert the entire set of Greek characters with no problem.
So, I guess that something is wrong in your system.
a - reset Permissions using Disk Utility

How to add special characters into numbers?

Hi, I wonder how can I add special characters like the one in the "Edit" menu for the Mac versions? Thanks.

It all depends what exactly you are talking about, so if you tell us, someone can help you. Some can be made from the keyboard, others you would need to copy/paste from an app like Unicode Map.

Contact bug : contact phone numbers in edit mode are not shown in "dial" mode

Contacts can have seemingly unlimited phone numbers as seen in the contact edit mode, though very few are shown in the corresponding non-edit mode. Of course, Dialing is not supported in the edit mode.
I have found that contacts that include pause characters or block characters are not properly displayed in the contact "dial mode". If you every try a conference call service, this is important to you.
At&t uses the comma as a pause, and Verizon uses the letter "t" as a pause. *82 temporarily blocks your caller id. Somehow the WebOS software that chooses which items to allow me to dial has bugs and worse, there is no clear way to prioritize so I am completely at the whim of the software.

I have tested entering 12 phone numbers on my own Pre Plus and all the numbers display in the normal contact field. How many phone numbers are you trying to to display?
The dialing options on the Palm Pre Plus are as follows:
To insert a two-second pause in the dialing sequence, enter a T where you want the pause to appear. To add a + symbol in the dialing sequence for international dialing, press and hold 0 (zero) in the location where you want the + symbol to appear. To insert a stop in the dialing sequence, enter a P where you want the stop to appear; to dial the next set of numbers after the stop, tap the screen.
As far as 3rd party special dialing character entry you would need to check with the 3rd party on how to enter this information into you device for your conference calling service.

How do I remove spaces or special characters within a cell for large amounts of data

Is there any shortcut to remove spaces between words and numbers within a cell?
Example:
Current: .5 lt PET (6)
Need: .5ltPET(6)
Is there any shortcut to remove special characters between numbers within a cell?
Example:
Current: 0--000--000--0
Need: 00000000

Thanks Wayne.

There are many more but this is enough to show you. I need to remove all spaces from the First and Third Columns. I need to remove all (--) from the fourth. Where do I put in the substitute function and what is source sting, existing-string, new-string, and occurrence.
Thank You for your help.

How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages

My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number. In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number. So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them. Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
Thanks.

I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Special characters change in e-mail body

When I receive e-mail with ISO 8859-2 charset the special characters (áéőüú etc.) change into something more weird, unreadable characters (ĂĄ). However, mail preview lines show them correctly. I use English language for the phone (as Hungarian is not available), keyboard is Hungarian.
Anybody facing the same problem? Any solution?

If you set the document to be a HTML type, then you can use HTML scripting to set
the font.
Create send request
   send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).
Create html content:
    mail_line = '.mail TBODY,{font-family:verdana;font-size:10pt;}'.
    append mail_line TO mail_text.
    ... (your text)
Create document with type 'HTM' and provide your HTML scripting
      document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document( i_type    = 'HTM'
                                                   i_text    = mail_text
                                                   i_subject = 'Subject' ).
Add document to send request
      CALL METHOD send_request->set_document( document ).
Send document
      CALL METHOD send_request->send( ).
