IPhone :: Add The Country Code To All Contacts When It Did Not Previously Appear?
Apr 6, 2012
I just moved from the US to the UK and purchased a new iPhone 4S. When my contacts migrated from Outlook to the iPhone they did not include the country code in the US and therefore all contacts numbers are now listed incorrectly. How can I add the country code to hundreds of contacts painlessly?
I recently got a replacement iphone and backed up all my contacts on icloud to the phone. I had over 200 contacts saved. This morning I had all of my contacts, now they are gone. My phone was in my locker the entire day, I did not touch any settings. Now my contacts are gone! I even went to icloud on the internet and they aren't there any more!
When I am using the phone in India, I am not able to make landline calls. Every time I make a call it automatically take a prefix of +62 before the number (which is the Jakarta code).
function shows the way by selecting smart dialling under options, however when i look under options there is no selection available for smart dialling? i have software version v.4.5.0.55?
I bought my Curve 8520 in Indonesia when I was living there. Now I'm back in Australia and when I call a (Australian) number in my contacts that has a 0 at the front, the phone puts the Indonesian country code in front. I have to input the number in full which is areal pain expecially as all mobile numbers start with 0. Is there some way to fix this?
As many of the rest of you have done, I mindlessly upgraded to OS 5.0, and am working on the new features. Here's something that puzzles me, though. Now when I dial a number from my contact list (even one in my own city and area code), my BB puts a +1 (country code for the usa) in front of the number.As I don't recall seeing this before, is this something new? Or do I have a setting wrong (which I'll discover on my bill in a few days).
texting adds country code causing failed messages and I keep failing. I have removed assisted calling. This is a galaxy s6 edge from verizon and i am now in Germany. I am using telekom network.
I store my contact mobile phone #s in international format (ie +61 4xx xxxxxx) so they are accessable from overseas when I travel without having to edit. Outlook 2003 seems to put a space character by default after the country code, so these appear as +61 4xxxxxxxx in Outlook.When I sync my Nokia 6120 to Outlook this space then gets transferred across to the phone as the # for the contact.When I receive anything from the contact (phone call, SMS etc), the number I have saved for them does not exactly match the number that comes through (either because of the extra space, or because it will come through in Australian format ie 04xx xxxxxx) and the contact does not get recognised by the phone, and simply appears as the #, not the contact name.If I send an SMS first & this is replied to, it comes back correctly identified, but new messages etc from contacts are not identified.
Is there any way to remove the space that Outlook seems to put after the country code by default? And is there any way for the phone to recognise +61 4xxxxxxxx and +614xxxxxxxx and 04xxxxxxxx all as the same number for the same contact?
I live in Guam and I can't update my contacts addresses. There isn't an option for Guam as a country, and when I pick the US it only shows addresses in the Continental US. I want to know if I there is any way to delete the country part of addresses in contacts or add Guam as a country? I just want to be able to use it as directions.
My iphone 4s bought from Australia, why I can't get the warranty repair/replace in UK?I'v called Australia, they told me I can replace in UK. But Apple Uk told me thay can't do it for me.
I have my contacts in my iphone, I am now trying to search my iphone contacts by zip code......can I do so with my iphone or with itunes or do I need some other means?
I connected my sister's iphone to a computer via USB to download some photos. Her husband's iphone data was on the computer. Instead of just presenting the option to open the folder to view files in trying to access her phone all of his data was downloaded to her phone. All of her contacts, settings etc are no longer there on her phone.
I had an iPhone 3g in the summer, and I downloaded quite a few apps. I got an iphone as a secondary phone, and I would love to have those apps back without paying. I have a new iphone 3g, and unfortunately my last computer broke so I am running a new netbook. I have no backup of my apps!! Is there any way I can restore these old apps as they are already paid for?I was thinking by just logging in to itunes on my apple account it would work, but no apps are listed
Upgraded to iOS 5.1 a couple weeks ago and since then battery drain has been horendous. Have problems on my iPad 1, have problems on my iPhone 4S, but iPhone 4 seems not to be affected as badly. I have disabled options and disabled apps (though they should be paused and not draining the battery) to no avail. Disappointed and think I'll go back to my iPhone 4.
When using forums on my iphone4 i cant change the previously used password that was stored. Each time i opem a forum it auto fills a previous user id and pw. Ive tried "remember me" and saving a new bookmark when logged in.
I will be getting the new iphone 4s and selling my current iphone.How can i transfer all my previously purchased apps into my new i-phone.All appps are currently in my itunes.If i plug in my new i-phone into the computer will i-tunes recognize it and automatically sync?
I have on my phone downloaded an app called "ReadyNAS Remote," which is at version 1.3.4.The only problem is that the version does not work on Iphone 4S. On my mac I have the earlier version of the app: ReadyNAS Remote 1.2.ipa Does anyone know how I get the previous version of the app onto my iphone?
BBought the iPhone 5s last week from the apple shop... Got it all transferred correctly via backup ... Everything worked, photos, messages, ringtones etc .....now the ringtones which I have always used and downloaded, are not working ! They did when I got the phone, but yesterday I connected it to the laptop to make sure iTunes was working with it, which it was ... since then , although my chosen tones for text and ringtones are in the list in 'Tones' and ticked , they don't work ..checked using my husbands phone to ring my phone , just got a tinkling type sound, same with text message tones, not the ones I have ticked either on my phone of my iPad ... Tried all kinds but can't get them to work ... And they all transferred correctly from I tunes on laptop to phone and iPad when I connected and applied ...
All of my photos and videos on my iPhone 5 from 2012 have disappeared. I've tried looking at Collections / By Year - but its not there either. Also, the backups from the same year on my Mac are corrupted (especially the videos). I have my baby videos and would be devasted to see them lost...  Â
recently, I used my uncles iphone 4 to imessage my friends. my uncle recently decided to give it to me and get himself the new iphone 4s. Since its from out of country, we went to unlock the iphone 4 and got rid of the old sim card and he got a new sim card with the old phone number (same number for iphone 4). my problem is that im scared he'll be able to receive my old and new imessages. I had deleted them on his old iphone and reset the whole thing twice.the problem is that on the old iphone, I did input my own apple ID to send messages, but I realized later on that it was using the PHONE NUMBER as the CALLER ID. Sure the messages still synced into my iPod 4g and back and forth.
I heard that sometimes, two iphones that had the same sim card or phone number tend to send to each other messages as if it was one phone and that concerns me. Is it possible that when he activates his new iPhone, the old imessages would show up on his phone as syncing? I really don't want him to get his hands on my old messages. I heard that sometimes, two iphones that had the same sim card or phone number tend to send to each other messages as if it was one phone and that concerns me. btw both phones have the new iOS 5.1.1
How to delete photos from my iPhone 5 previously synced from my desktop but now have been deleted from my computer? I have an album on my phone named Desktop and can't delete photos from this album on my phone and they don't show up in iTunes now.
Sorry to add to the reception frenzy but I have a rather specific question I could't find an answer to in the existing threads. Is anyone able to replicate the dropped bars phenomenon (with their hand) in normally solid five bar location?
I am on business away from home and my wife shipped me my iPhone. I'm in Waycross, GA. There is no 3G here but the Edge signal is solid. The thing is, I can see the cell tower from my window! I am absolutely, positively, unable to replicate the reported signal problem with my 4. I've tried all sorts of positions with my hand. Stays at 5 bars.
BUT...I'm wondering if this is due to the fact I'm next door to a cell tower? Andy will I ever be able to have children again because I'm so close?
So far, this phone has been awesome. No yellow, no proximity issues and, so far (fingers crossed), no reception issues at all.
With my HTC Hero I could scroll down to an address in contacts and the text would move from right to left so I could read the post code. How do I do this with the HTC Incredible S? Only way I've found so far is to select edit then manually thumb down to see the full address.
When I live in US, I buy my iphone 4 (without contract) i paid full price in AppleStore in Briarwood ... but never realise that the iphone i lock to the at&t, because i already have sim card from this operator . I understand that, when i moved to the other country and put the local sim.
I sill keep the invoice (02.03.2011), and ... I don't what to do.
