Voice Dialing and Area Codes

Hi There,
Does anyone know how I get voice dialing to allow me to include the area code when I ask it to call a phone number?  It currently only allows me to specify 7 digits instead of 10.  I have set up my area code via the Call Log options and the number of digits for National numbers is set to 10.
If you cannot configure it to allow 10 digits, is there any way to configure it to automatically include a default area code when you specify a phone number by saying the digits?
Thanks.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your input.  I actually do exactly the same thing as you described.  However, my question was more for those instances when you don't currently have an entry in your Blackberry for the number you want to call using voice dialing and have to specify the number by saying the digits that comprise the desired phone number.
Thanks.

  • Dialing local area code with new digital voice?

    So I just had Verizon phone/tv/internet installed 2 days ago.  I have FIOS digital voice and I have to dial my area code to make all local calls.  I'm told this service is 6 months new and that I will see a nearly $10 savings in government charges and taxes from other FIOS telephone customers. 
    Anyone out there have digital voice and knows someone who has regular FIOS voice and compared bills yet? Curious since it would be a couple of months before I know the exact savings.  I hear the first bill is will be different than the rest.

    Mine was just installed today and I have the same problem.  You posted on 2/27 and have no posted solutions.  Did you get this resolved?
    The "solution" is to dial 10 digits. Period. What is the big deal? I have had to dial 10 digits for 15 or 20 years, starting with my original POTS service and now with Digital Voice.

  • Why do you have to dial the area code if you are calling from the same area code

    I am considering switching over to Verizon Digital Voice, I already have Verizon phone service as part of my quad package.  I understand that there are some more features, as well as a reduction of a certain tax resulting in apporx $8 savings per month.  The only drawback, as far as my wife is concerned, is that we would be required to dial the area code even if we are calling next door.  I am curious as to why that is.  I live on Long Island, New York.  Any insight would be helpful.  I have used the speed dial argument, but I am getting resitance.  Thanks in advance.  Marv

    Just switched from Vonage and they had a home area code feature that allowed same area code calls, so that whenever you dialed a 7 digit phone # it went through as a local area call.  Don't understand why my new Verizon service can't do that; just makes me think I haven't figured it out yet. 

  • My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

    My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

    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

  • Voice dialing and talking caller ID

    I bought the nokia n9 and while I am very happy of how it looks and feels and greatly disappointed for the lack of many necessary apps and features. The upmost important of which are the voice dialing and talking caller id.
    Will we ever see these features available to nokia n9? Maybe a better question would be: will nokia ever going to update this device to pack missing features or not?

    not at the moment.
    not too sure about what is coming in pr1.3 though...couldnt say if it will include voice operation...not that it is necessary.
    if nokia does indeed kill using the meego/harmattan os, the community will surely keep it alive somehow for a while.

  • Iphone Makes me dial my area code for local calls

    For no apparent reason, I started having to dial my area code for local calls manually dialed.
    After research/ Found the problem:  The culprit in my case was my AT&T Micro Cell tower.  All it took was realizing it only did it at home (the location of the towerr) and a lot of trouble shooting with Apple support.  They were stumped.  The fix was a simple reset of the tower.

    It is good practice to always store numbers in contacts with the area code. There is no harm in dialing the area codes even if you live in an area that still uses 7-digit dialing. And, it prevents issues when you travel.

  • For Cisco SPA112: can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit number without having to dial the area code 00357 but not for 0030?

    Cisco SPA112:
    Can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit numbers without having to dial the area code 00357 but also being able to dial 0030xxxxxxxxxx numbers?

    If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

  • My elderly mother hss EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri.  Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing and not accidentally open any other app and screw something

    My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri.  Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.

    I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
    Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
    Best of luck.

  • Prefixes: Landcode and Area code necessary? (NL)

    Hi,
    I bought an onlinenumber, I tried and tried, but a woman on the phone told me over and and over again it didn't exist. So I added the land code (031 for Netherlands) and the area code (317) for its region. It still didn't work. 
    Finally I replaced the leading 0 to a plus sign +
    so the number became: +31 317 xxxxxx
    Why is this necessary? I wouldn't put my online on my business card! Everyone would complain i'm not available because al my local people don't put in the extra prefixes when they're calling me.
    So is there a way to not have to put these unnessary numbers in front?
    (There is no telephone number for customer support? Only live online support for payers? What a deep shame...) I'm sorry but i'm not a happy customer anymore...

    When dialing from Skype, all telephone numbers must be in the international format as you discovered.  When you post that number on a business card or on letterhead, it is up to you what format you decide to use for displaying the number.  In places where there are difference in dialing numbers like dropping the leading zero from domestic area codes, or additional digits to reach mobile numbers (this is the case in some places like Mexico and Argentina), you could display numbers like:
    Telephone: (0317) xxx-xxxx (NL or Netherlands) / +31 317 xxx-xxxx (International)
    for your number.

  • Voice Dialing and navigating in the following drop...

    My new 6600 fold drives me mad! How can I navigate through the diiferent numbers/contacts when I use voice dialing via headset? The idea is: press the button on my headset, then talk a contacts name e.g. "Peter" (with or without thumbs in the nose). The phone recognizes my speech as "Peter" (with luck) and shows:
    1. a list with contacts who has "Peter" as name/first name (depending on what list format i use - why can the pone not shows both like in my "old" Nokia 9300?) and THEN?
    or
    2. a single contact and dial his number. But WHAT if this contact has more numbers?
    Solution: Take the phone out of the pocket, unfold it and navigate with the keys through the contacts/numbers? THAT I did not have in mind when I want to call somebody via headset. Is there an undocumented set of voice commands to navigate throug the menu? The manual is not really helpful for that.
    As workaround you can for case 1 say the complete name e.g. "Peter Tschaikowski" and talk a little bit more in a robotic voice for a better understanding (like i read in other posts here).. OK, this might work.
    In case number 2 I start to select one number as "standard" number who will select when the name is clear. But that is nit really helpfull if you want to talk to your mum/boss/girlfriend with a different number when driving a car. in my country it is not allowed to use the phone without headset in the car. For me it will be a expensive pleasure to use my 6600 fold while driving.....

  • Curve 8330 Voice dialing and sound problems, Please help!

    I got this black berry curve 8330 from a friend on the weekend to replace my broken Pearl. He said it worked fine but it sometimes had a voice dialing problem. After wiping all the personal data and activating the phone the voice dialing went nuts. Every 6 to 9 sec the voice dialing would activate with no sound. meaning you don't hear the lady voice say, "say a command". After reading many forums posts I download memmax and removed all VAD files. But I will still left with no sound. I went and did a test on the hardware and the speaker and microphone both worked fine. Puzzled I tried playing a ringtone, , it plays maybe the first second of the file and then the sounds goes away but I am able to get it back by press the Speaker/$ key. I then tried making a phone call and the phone was working just fine. About an hour later I tired calling someone and the issue had raisin again. This time I was unable to get the sound back. (I tried resetting many times with no success.) I could still play media files, but was unable to get sound making or receiving calls (this includes the other party not being able to hear me as well.) I tired changing profiles with no success. I then did some more reading and tried updating the OS. Once that was done and voice dialing had been reinstalled and started acting up again. SO I removed it and basically everything happened all over again. So right now I have a phone that I can’t make calls on but I can still text and use the internet. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Should I try wiping the OS and reinstall or is this phone toast?

    The msi nforce package 2.29 fixes the NVMCP.SYS error and turns it into a very rare system freeze. 8o
    Very rare!
    been waiting almost 9 months for this fix so i could pull the damm soundblaster out! :O

  • Voice dialing and OS 4.5

    Greetings to all, I am new in the forum. Nevertheless pleasingly I am made an impression by the level of information that handles, always of first hand.  Let me comment my problem, handling a device BB 8330. All the functions and programs were executed without any problem until yesterday. My device ran on old platform 4,3, yesterday I updated it directly of the official page of BB to 4.5. By all means as many of we do it. I began to prove all my programs and applications on the new platform, and noticed a detail, the dialing activated by voice, is executed well and in Spanish (Mexico), it obeys to the commands and it looks for the contacts suitably, nevertheless at the moment for marking, when I choose a contact with more of one telephone number (work, moving body, etc.) the voice indicates the message to me “are no stored entrances”. If this same it attempt with a contact that only has a telephone number, communicates to me without problems.  Somebody could orient to me in the correction of this defect?
