If you've upgraded to 1.1.1 the new location of the file you need to edit is:

/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats/UIPhoneFormats.plist


*EDIT*

If you edit the M68AP.plist file as described here http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10824 then you can go into Settings/International and select the region format to use

If I set everything to Sweden under International my number formatting is right but if someone calls from +46 (the country code of Sweden) the phone doesn't recognize the numbers. And since all sms (text messages) comes as +46xxxxxxxx I can only see the number when I get a new message in the popup, but if I go in to my inbox the name is there.

Anyone have a simple solution for this?

For those still stuck!

Assuming you have ibrickr and 1.0.2 iphone

1. start ibrickr click on <files>
2. In the right hand window (picture of iphone) click on <System>
3. Click on <Library>
4. Click on <Frameworks>
5. Click on <AddressBookUI.frameworks>
6. Click on <ABPhoneFormats.plist>
7. You should now see at the bottom of ibrickr a link for <Download> just above the <Delete> button. (I can only see the bottom of the txt on mine!)
8. Goto http://140.124.181.188/~khchung/cgi-bin/plutil.cgi
and browse to the file you just downloaded. This will convert the binary file into text.
9. Open the converted file with a text browser.
10. Goto the section marked <key>uk</key> (use the search/find facility)
11. Copy everything from immediately after the </key> until just before <key>
12. Paste what you have just copied into the space after <key>us</key> until the next time the <key> appears.
13. Save and close the file. (No need to convert it back to binary)
14. Use ibrickr to delete the ABPhoneFormats.plist in folder System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/
15. Click on <Upload file> in ibrickr
16. Select the file you have just edited (not the original one)
17. Close ibrickr
18. Switch off you iphone by holding down the top button and sliding the top red slider.
19. Switch iphone back on.
20. Start dialing a number to see if if has worked.

=======
Remember if you mess it up you will have the original file stored on your computer. Just upload it back with ibrickr.

Hope this helps. It took me a while to work this out from all the fragmented help that is out there.

Just thought - Whats the point in doing all those steps when you can just download the file!

Here it is

cheers mate

Some great suggestions - thanks

i'm now have my iphone working perfectly - activated, unlocked (using with Vodafone AU), have the GPRS working, and now the numbers look great when dialing

hey mate, are you able to access sms'd numbers ie 9####### with out the 02 infront of it, if so how is it dun.
cheers

This was the easiest and best method for me, and it works nicely.

Not sure what happened there! Can you iBrickr into the phone?
It you can - replace the new ABPhoneFormats.plist file with the original one and restart your phone.
Did you do anything else besides update the ABPhoneFormats.plist file?
Even if this file is completely missing my iphone operates OK.

Well Frank, I just did what you've said, anything else.
No, I can't iBrickr. The iPhone was not recognized.
Anyway, I left it all night long turned it on (at least, trying) untill the battery died. Then I turned it on again, but nothing change.
But I just restore, followed all the steps to unlock since the beginning and now it's working.
The only problem is I lost all the information, but I don't care. Its working now. hehe
Thank you for your help.

Updating...
I didn't lose the contact's information. When I started up the iTunes, it ask me if I'd like to recover my backup. It was awesome. hehe

hello again, ive tried every variation and still no luck with 9#######. every other number works except for that 1. strange i cant work it out.

hi mate, for sum reason wen i get an sms with a fone number
(9#######) i cant seem to access the number but if the same number is sent to me as (9### ####) or (029#######) then i can. im pretty sure ive made the changes via UIPhoneFormats.plist. btw im running 1.1.1. i can access every other number except for that 1..any ideas.

cheers mate

Ok well I apologize for the long post but Italy has probably the most stupid numbering plan of this whole planet. Area codes are of 2, 3 or 4 digits, local numbers can be from 3 to 8 digits. A mess when it comes to formatting the numbers. Especially since for what I've seen there's no repeating operator in the numbering formating scheme the iphone uses (no the $ doesn't do that but if you find one post it here).
So to correctly match the italian numbering plan you have to stick a huge list of patterns in your UIPhoneFormats file. Wrote it in no time so I'm not sure it works for every possible italian number but it looks like it should. Matches also 144 166 700 800 and the like numbers.

You might also want to check this other post if you have troubles with the callerID not matching with and without the international code. Italy uses all sort of lengths for numbers so my best bet would be to go with the 7 or 8 digit patch:
http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthr...+number+format

Here's the pattern list, read the whole thread to figure out where to stick it and remember to restart your phone (full restart).

I use my iPhone in Guatemala, and I need the local numbers to be: ####-#### (with the hyphen) and US and other countries to be: (###) #### ####

I can modify the US numbers (or any other) but my numbers just display ############ indefinetly (no parenthesis or hyphens)

Can anyone tell me exactly how to modify the us numbers in order fot my iphone to display like I want it to? Help greatly appreciated!

[iphonefan74]
