Hi! just noticed recently that all my incoming calls have +(area code) (phone number). The address book doesn't pick up these numbers and if I set them with +(area code), that might incur different cost rates? anyone else experiencing this? Any idea to change the settings?

its always like
i. For fixed Lines +(international code)(area code)(phone no.)
ii. For Mobile No. +(International code)(mobile no.) or +(International code)(operator code)(mobile no.).

Such problem might be from the operator or network provider, not from N900

Thanks. But I do recall getting caller IDs right with my previous e65. No use with caller ID if the calls come in with the +(area code)(phone number).

there no problem adding +(area code) in front of any phone number in your contacts...it wont make any different regarding cost rates....
right now all user in malaysia must adds +(area codes) for making calls....call wont be possible if you dont adds +(area codes)...

What are you talking about? I'm using Maxis and I only need to add (+) when making international calls. Local calls and calls to other mobile operator without the (+) works fine. What service are you using that requires (+)?

It's just frustrating that all incoming calls have (+) which kinda confused the address book caller ID.

it's always a good practice to use + when saving phone numbers. and joseph is right - it shouldn't cost you more when making local calls.

maxis, digi, celcom - they all work the same + or no +, local calls are local calls. it would be illegal if they charged you more. report them to the MCMC

It would be nice if there was a standardized way to store numbers in mobiles with a way to automaticly replace the prefix depending on conditions, in a configurable way. (For example, here in Brasil, for long distance calls, the prefix is 0xxyy, where xx is the long distance carrier and yy the area code, the prefix for local collect calls is 9090, the prefix for long distance collect calls is 90xxyy (xx and yy same as above), but most carriers won't let you use the longdistance collect call prefix to do a collect call to a local number even though you can use the long distance prefix to call a local number; and if you use a long distance carrier that isn't associated with your mobile carrier the costs skyrocket. So to sum it up, dialing using the standard international prefix doesn't work, if you use a different carrier you need to use a different prefix, and you need different prefixes if the number you're calling from is or isn't from the same are as the number you're dialing to. And for numbers outside the country it's the same thing as for long distance calls, but it's two zeros instead of one, and i don't think there is a way to do a collect call automaticly)
