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

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. My workaround: Add the number in both
formats to the contact (although this isn't strictly neccessary, because
in AU on the vodafone network numbers seem to appear in the
international format, so if the number is in the contact in the
international format it generally works)
b) I'd call it a bug, or maybe a feature...
c) not exclusive to qtopia (I'm using 2007.2), but I suspect that it's a
bug/feature common to more than one set of dialer / messaging / contacts
programs, although I may be wrong.
