prefix and phone dialing issue

I have search the forum but could not find a related thread or answer.

Problem:
I have loaded all my contacts with my current correct area code. Most of which are in my current area code. I do this for texting purposes. Now in my old ppc 6800 there was no problem. But with the TP2 when I just dial the 7 digit number, it does not pull the contact name up. It's like it doesn't recognize my home dialing area.

Now i have look all thru the phone for a setting to correct this. I've been a WM user for 5yrs and never experienced this issue. I have only had my TP2 for 5days now.

Am I overlooking something or is this a known issue. I would appreciate any help or suggestions to fix this.

Thanks in advance

Re: prefix and phone dialing issue

I don't believe you're going to find a fix for that, other than updating your contacts and prepending all those in your local area code with that specific area code. If that was a feature of the 6800, I think it's been dropped in later revisions of WM.

Also, not that it helps with your current contacts sorry, but for future contacts, make sure you've set your default area code in the Contacts application...Launch Contacts | Menu | Options, and there you'll see the default area code that is added to new contacts.

Re: prefix and phone dialing issue

thanks for your immediate feedback.

I do have all my contact prefilled with my local area code... lets say it is (999)
I enter all my contacts with (999)XXX-XXX or 999-XXX-XXXX

When i dial a number say XXX-1234.. it dials the number fine, but does not pull the contact info.

So you saying there is no fix or option to correct this?

Also I do have my default area code loaded.. !!!

Any other ideas or thoughts

Re: prefix and phone dialing issue

Dang, you said that in your post too sorry!!! So the bad news is I don't think there's a way for the dialer to prepend your area code. The good news is, doesn't look like you need to update your contacts

Sorry, I've got nothing. I tried it on my own, and it doesn't prepend the area code either. You said you'd been through all of the phone options too, so I'm sure you saw the option to prepend a 1 i.e. +1 for long distance, but I think that's about it.

Re: prefix and phone dialing issue

so let me ask you,
when you dial just the 7 digit number does yours pull up your contact info for the person you are calling.

Re: prefix and phone dialing issue

I was wondering the same thing. If someone has a fix for this that would be hype...

Re: prefix and phone dialing issue

If you already have the contact info in your phone, why wouldn't you bring up that contact and dial from there instead of manually entering the 7 digit # of the contact you already have in the phone?

I ALWAYS make it a habit to dial the 10 digit # so that there will never be any problems especially if you're out of your home calling area. 3 more digits is not going to kill you (I hope).
