Here in Hong Kong, phone numbers are 8 digits and don't have area codes.
But on my Universaal, numbers are showing up as (xxx) xxx-xx instead of xxxx-xxxx. How do I change it?

What if you put nothing into Area Code but put all 8 digits into Number itself?
That's what I'm tell you...it auto-formats to (xxx) xxx-xx
How do we change it
please i need help in changing the format and to remove the (XXX) in windows 2005, not that i have windows 2005 in a BA and changing the regional setting won't work
Remove area code on caller id display when you receive calls on HTC Hermes
u have to change the regional settings...
try other types of English
for example: English (United Kingdom)
This works perfectly for me in Hong Kong

After hard-resetting my mini and loading ROM 1.11 then not loading the extended rom ( reset prior to installation ) I notice when I dial a number on the phone, it now reads (993) 137-83 instead of 9931 3783
Any ideas as to why? Am I supposed to run a particular cab file?
thanks in advance

The short answer is YES, its in one of the CAB files but I don't know which one. If I hat to guess I'd go for the "default_103133" CAB.
What i did was test each CAB file to see what it changed but didn't write it down. :roll:
Try playing around with the regional settings... example if u use english (australia) the bracket will be gone or if u use english (united states) the numbers dialled will be according to the standard format there which has brackets. good luck.

Thanks folks, Adit you hit the nail on the head. My regional settings were set to United States. Much appreciated.
hi. im in sydney wit xda2mini, set my region to english aust.
in my contact i have like this : (04) 0157-5243 for mobile phone, which is very bad looking. can some1 tell me how to change it to 0401575243 or 0401 243 575.. as long it doenst have bracket, then im happy
maybe this is because my outlook? i sync my xda with outlook 2000. i tried to change outlook setting but couldnt find the correct option like region or something. thx every1~~~~~~~~~~~
Check ypur regional settings on your PDA.
START, SETTINGS, REGIONAL SETTINGS, make sure it is selected to ENGLISH (AUSTRALIA)
I have changed this setting and I still have the numbers looking stupid with the brackets.
Might it have something to do with how outlook handles the numbers?
yes, thats what i said in prev. post. if i insert new contact FROM XDA, then i wont have bracket. but if i create new contact FROM OUTLOOK, it will make 1st 2 digits inside brackets. i couldnt find any setting in outlook to modify this.. some1 can help? thx
Outlook
Lads,
This is an outlook querk. If you go into a contact and enter a phone number or tap the edit button next to a contact you get a window which has three enterable areas. Country code, NDC (National destination code) or area code and number. Outlook automatically formats the number into
+<country code> (<area code>) <number
You can stop it from doing this but it can be helpful when its formatted like this. I've changed all my numbers to this format.

This bracket thing is really annoying me too.
Is there any English (Indonesia) or English (Singapore) that don't use bracket? Or should we change to English (Australia)?
Hormat saya,
Arto.
UK
Try UK regional settings. No brackets
i believe the problem is at the OUTLOOK side, not from the xdamini. like i said, (mine set to english australia) if i enter new contact FROM XDA, then it will be stay without bracket, but iwill have bracket if i create new contact FROM OUTLOOK.
I think it will only add brackets once you edit the number. I think Outlook sees spaces in the phone number as telling it what is the international code, area code etc. If you leave the number as +11234567890 I think Outlook ignores it.
I had mine as a mixture but prefer them with the brackets and so edited them.
Its definitely Outlook not the phone
My brothers cell No. is same like my home No. only with a different prefix, so when someone is calling from home the Magician mixes the two numbers up and displays brothers name.
Is anyone femiliar with this issue ?
(Bros No. comes first in the contacts)
I have the same problem with various people. Couples have the same home phone number and I have contacts of people at the same place of work.
If one of the couples phone me from their home number or the one of the people phone me from their work, it picks up the first "contact" with that number.
well,In my case the number is the same but the prefix is different
anyone has any Idea how to solve this ?
anyone?
Did you try?: +(country code) (province code)(home number) something like +44 99123456 and for mobile +44 mobile number

Do you mean saving all the contacts with the country code ?
Yes , 00 or + to get international and then country code as i suggested before on both ,fix and mobile numbers.
Hi all,
I'm a new PDA phone user....just bought my O2 Atom Exec few days ago.
Not sure if this has been answered before but I can't seem to find any posts on this anywhere.
1) When dialing or receiving calls, the phone number is always displayed with country code, area code format, e.g. 1 (234) 567-8, even though all I wanted was to dial an 8-digit local phone number without any country/area codes. Is there any way to change this display behaviour?
2) Can we choose what fields to be displayed on the Contacts page? Currently, only the Name and phone number is being displayed in the Contacts list. Can we also perhaps choose to display the company name on the list as well? I have customers from different companies with the same names....would be good to be able to differentiate them at a glance.
Appreciate any help. Thanks.
Andrew

no i do not think so
coldfire is right....I changed the regional settings to English (Australia) and it's ok now.
Any ideas on how to add more fields when displaying the contacts list? Or are there any good replacement software?
Thanks.
See if PocketCM works on the Atom. I love it on my Wizard and Hermes.

What do you want to 'apply' in the first place? Regional settings?
Please help!
I have having this problem which been bothering me.
The phone dial prefix was wrong. The format is (XXX) 123-12345
my country singapore format is (XX) 1234-1234
With this wrong format, it cannot display the correct contact.
Can someone please help
If you've just upgraded to WM6 then this is not surprising.
I had the same problem for UK numbers here at home. You need to change your regional options to reflect the country where you are.
Hope that helps!!
xavierng,
Go to Start -> settings -> system -> regional settings and select your region settings.
It should solve this
JP
I am not sure if the regional setting would define format for phone numbers.
Alternatively, open the Contacts and then click on 'Menu' and select 'Options...' Enter correct Area code there and you are done..

There is another simple solution for your problem:
Edit the phone WM6 registry, with a registry editor( you can download a freeware version anywhere)
Edit this register:
Record:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch
When you find it, change the decimal value from 8 to the desired number: eg 7 in my case.
Good luck !

Yes, it does.
The regional settings also include numbering format.
When you install the ROM the default regional settings are US so, it uses US numbering format, putting it on your region should solve the problem.
Try it out

I have tried this. It actually solved the Dialing prefix but it create another problem. My country is Singapore (chinese) thus the long date format give me alot of boxes. This affect my calender view.
By pass the whole issue by installing a 3 party PIM, I use Webis Pocket informant and format the numbers the way I like them +41 (123) 456 78 90.

I am using pocket informat and i like it but due to the dialing prefix problem, it cannot recognize the contact from informant.
I will try the registry solutions...

I am trying to edit the registry in HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone but cannot find callidmatch.
Well you lost me, which is ok.
We here in switzerland had both XX and XXX as dial codes (untill we changed this year). I have never had a problem with that standard nor with USA +1 (xxx) yyy-zzzz or infact any other contry.
I sync from Outlook, my layout is how I want it on each contact and I use +CC on all contacts as I am out of the country a lot.
I think I surpress the auto format in Pocket Infromant, its one of the TONS of settings that you can use.
Good luck, sorry I could not help more.

If you want to edit the registry:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AddrBook:
You can enter like +xx (xx) or whatever you want to appear.

Hi.
I'm a new user of Touch HD (English Version).
When I dail a number, the phone number will be format like an american standard style. For example, when I dial 13312345678, it will be displayed like 1(331)234-5678. How to disable this format, just show the number directly?
Thanks.
Change your region settings.
