Hi I know this problem from the cryptosms.org project.
basically the telco is providing/sending the incoming number (not the phone). the format of this number seems to vary even with the same telco. I've seen these +49 179... 0049 179... 49 179... 0179... I'm not sure if this list shows all possible 'encodings'. Does anyone know if there is a standard on how to translate these numbers into each other, which are valid and which not? greetings malte Dale Maggee wrote: > Tom Yates wrote: >> using ASU (specifically, 20080826-asu-stable-uImage.bin and >> 20080827-asu-stable-rootfs.jffs2) i have a contacts database full of >> friends, imported via vcard, in which almost all the phone numbers are in >> internationally-qualified form (eg fred friend, +44 7971 123456). that >> way, i can dial them whatever country i happen to be in. >> >> but when i'm in the UK, and a UK call comes in, it shows up as just having >> a local number (eg 07971 123456). >> >> these two numbers are functionally the same, but the contacts-lookup that >> happens won't identify the caller as fred friend unless i edit the >> contacts entry to say 07971... rather than +447971... . >> >> a) do other people find this also? >> >> b) does this qualify as a bug? >> >> c) if so, is it a qtopia bug, and therefore (if i follow the discussion >> aright) not something that should be entered into the openmoko bug >> tracker? >> > a) yes, I see the same thing.
