"+" not always needed before phone numbers

[mikhan]

Hi
In 1.4 and 1.4.1 there's a bug/feature that recent call list has "+" sign before all phone numbers. That's not needed

[user_deleted]

Hi mikhan,

sure, it's not needed, but it's usual and most of the users are typing in their numbers in international format that way.

br ...

[mikhan]

I type 7 digits for local numbers and +7xxx...xxx for mobiles
why MPE adds "+" for local numbers? I really don't get it

[FJ]

Thats a bug, i will fix it
Please refresh your calls and then send me the logfile via e-mail (fj.wechselberger<at>gmx.at). Via email is better as at the forum cause i will see in the logfile the phonenumbers of your calls.

[mikhan]

email is sent, thanks for reply!

1.4.3
I still have not needed "+" signs before local numbers

Here is a part of log (I removed numbers and names by * )

14:15:30.60 [TX]: AT+CPBR=1,30
14:15:30.82 [RX]: AT+CPBR=1,30

14:15:30.82 [RX]: +CPBR: 1,"797****",129,"***","2006/05/22,14:14"
14:15:30.96 [RX]: +CPBR: 2,"8903*******",129,"***","2006/05/20,19:58"
14:15:31.12 [RX]: +CPBR: 3,"8903*******",129,"***","2006/05/20,19:56"
14:15:31.28 [RX]: +CPBR: 4,"8926*******",129,"***","2006/05/20,19:52"

In MPE I see:
+797*****
+8903*****
etc

I've tried it out with my own phone. I dialed the number "1234567" and after refresh no "+" was shown. In Version 1.4.3 are only the "+" added if the number contains more than 8 chars.

[mikhan]

Why MPE adds "+" sign at all if number is >8 digits?

[FJ]

Cause the phone doesnt do it. Mostly this numbers are international so the "+" is needed

[Gast]

That assumption wont be true for UK numbers where typically the format for a std code + local number is:

0nnn nnnnnnn

HTH

[FJ]

If a "0" is the first char MPE never adds a "+"

[mikhan]

FJ, I think it should be my decision whether to add "+" or not
If my call list in the phone doesn't have + before numbers then it have to be like this! My phonebook has correct numbers like +7495******* (7 is Russia, 495 -Moscow, 7 digits - phone number) or +7916*******, but my operator (MTS, Beeline etc) identifies numbers e.g. as 8495******* or 8916******* without + (8 is Russian prefix for international or national calls)
So I adding + to numbers like 8495*** is nonsense in MPE

[FJ]

Its not my plan to add hundrets of buttons so every user has his optimal setting. If you want that - use FMA. I tried to reproduce the "bug" (up to now i never seen this) - on my phone it works with 7-char-numbers without problems (no + is added what your wish were).

[mikhan]

I don't need any button. I just don't understand why MPE adds + before some numbers. What for?

[FJ]

Oh my god - he doesn't. I tried it about 20 times and ma app didn't add any + before the number. Delete the Calls.dat and refresh your call-list. Its an easy algorythm i use, i cannot believe that on your pc MPE works other than on mine.

Hi there, actually I can explain what is going on.
As I see mikhan is living in one of the former SovietUnion countries, as me.
And in such countries to place local call we add "8" before number not "0".
This is the point.
As I understand is number begins with the "0" the "+" is not added.

I am using version 1.5.4. Can you send us exact place of byte offset that we can change ourselves ONLY , so I need the byte offset that which will change "0" to "8" as a char before which "+" i snot added???

[pheadland]

Many North American (USA & Canada) users use 10-digit phone numbers in their cell phones. These numbers do not begin with "0", so they get a "+" added on, which is incorrect. Sure, we can edit all our phone numbers to begin "+1", but that is far from convenient.

[FJ]

Should be fixed now in v1.5.5
