Dialer / Contacts cross referencing

Wondering why (in the dialer), the phone numbers do not cross-reference the same way contact name do.

examples: I can spell "Ander" in the dialer, and Anderson will pop up....

but on the other hand, lets say I have a contact with phone number (012)345-6789. I can dial 0,1,2,3, and the contact will come up. I want to be able to key in 345 and see that contact pop up. Know what I mean?

This is most annoying when I am dialing contacts in my same area code but still having to key in the area code. I can remove the area code from the contact info but that will prevent me from sending texts messages to that number.

Re: Dialer / Contacts cross referencing

who dials numbers by putting in the 1st 3 digits ya know? lol i can see why this isnt a feature, cant you? its not very common..

"hey i wanna call Bill, his number is 000-555-8888.. Boy, im sure glad i can dial 555 and find him in my phone"... its rather generic wouldnt ya say??

if you had asked about the last 4 digits, which can be done on stupid flip phones and such but not on smartphone for some reason(maybe 3rd party dialers allow it idk), but the middle 3 seems rather odd lol

why not just dial the first 3 letters of the name??

anywho, you can try 3rd party dialers/apps, but i wouldnt anticipate finding what your asking for..

hell, if you do, post it back here.... maybe your not the only one who dials contacts by the 1st 3 digits of a number-never know lol..

I understand what you mean and yes it has to do with how you entered the number in contact info but why would removing the area code from contact info prevent text operation?

Re: Dialer / Contacts cross referencing

Ever tried texting someone without the area code? It comes back saying there weren't enough numbers. =P
