Caller name instead caller number in SMS

Hi folks,
TIM Brasil send me ans SMS with all calls I've lost. useful when I flying, at arrival I saw who call me.
The problem is the SMS contain the caller number, time and date, so I need to search at Contacts to discover the caller name.
Someone know a piece of software able to look at phone number inside of SMS and scan the Contact to match it, showing the name of the contact?
Best regards

Any ideas?

Here in Italy vodafone sends a similar SMS but sets the sender name to the one who attemped to phone you
In this way the phone shows automatically the name (if it has been stored in contacts)
To quickly discover who's the owner you can do two things:
1) if the message contains "This number +xxyyyyyy tried to call you..." press the down key (the number should be selected by a square box) click and your phone should start dialling that number (doing a lookup in contacts and showing the name)
2) you can remember the first numbers (excluding the international prefix) press "red phone", "green phone" (to quickly start the phone application) and use the hermes' smartdialer to quick find who's the owner.

Try using SPB Diary...

Make sure your numbers are in the international format.

In fact this work, but is not exactly what I want, because after a airplane trip the SMS has 3 or 4 numbers. So I need to call/abort 3 for times... It's not elegant way.
thanks.

WM developer
Hi Guys,
I'm trying again... Is there a WM developer here who could develop a little plug in to do it?
I think is not complicated, but I don't know WM development to do it.
Of course this could sold to the community.

i had once a siemens sl45 and when i had a phone number in a sms it replaced it by the name in the phonebook... i so miss that feature..... i haven't seen it on other phones since then...

I'm not alone
Finally someone understood what I'm saying.
It's very useful this feature. I'm wondering if someone could develop this.
Anybody as a volunteer?

Maybe this is what you need?

Thanks Moe,
It's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.

Smart Dial improvement

Hey guys i was just wondering if it was possible to get the smart dial to look into both first name and last name...
My contacts really got messed up when i put them on the diamond and that would save me a lot of editing
Thanks in advance!!

My dialer does that already. I think every "diamond-dialer" does that...

Mine doesn t and never did!! how could i change that?

I think you have both name and surname in one box - name. I have seen it after contacts transfered from Nokia through Outlook.

Calling a number from a Calendar note

Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.

i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions

Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.

Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.

smart dialing

Hi!
I just got my jade....and I love it...but on my hermes WM had the option smart dialing. It was searching in the first AND the last name when I was dialing. Somebody recogniced this?
thanks a lot in advance,
Stefan

For me it is working. When typing someones name in the phone pad, contacts with matching first and last names are highlighted....

really
if have a "Juck Norris" in your adress bock, and you press 5(JKL) + 8(TUV) +6 (MNO) + 6(MNO) it should find it.
I only can search after first OR last names...
Cheers,
Stefan

True, it will find all the matching characters in 'last name' and 'first name'. It will also find them in 'outlook contacts' as well as SIM contacts and display them both.

I don't understand this at all. I tried all was I thinking about, but no chance, that the phone is searching for last and first names at the same time....
nobody else this issuie?
Cheers,
Stefan

Customize phone contacts: add more cell numbers

Hi all, there is a way to add more cell numbers to the same contact? I can choose between home, fax, office but I need only to record a second number as second cell number. Not possible modifing default tabs?
Excuse me for my bad english..
Thanks!

Yeah, I second that plea.

yea i was wondering if this was possible but had no luck finding a way

I have the same issue too, I even tried to find if it exists in outlook and then synchronize it with my topaz, but it's not in outlook either.
I use the same trick to change the "file as" for contacts different than what HTC has in the drop down list.
