Here is how you do it

Changing phone number formating: (123) 456-7890

Formatting is stored in:

/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/ABPhoneFormats.plist

Download this file from your phone. The file is stored in binary format, so you'll need to convert it to text. Now save this file and open it in a text editor. Change the formatting under us to look like you want (if you find your region in the file, just copy from your region to the us). There's probably some way to just make it use your language (instead of 'us'), but i don't know where you specify that. When you are done changing formatting, save the file and upload it to the iphone in same directory you found it. You don't need to convert i back to binary.

I got this from the following site

http://iphone.unlock.no/

The main problem I have had with the number format is when someone calls me and the number stored in my contacts is in the +61XXXXXXXXX format and the incoming number is in the 07XXXXXXXX format they dont marry up so it just displays the number and not the contact name. Any help here would be great

Hi,

I'm trying to do the same for Singapore contacts. Some numbers are stored like: +65 ########, +65########, ########.

The phone recognizes the caller when the number is stored as +65 ########, but not when +65########. When the number is stored as +65########, only the ######## appear on the screen and the caller name and picture (if any) do not appear.

Is there anyway to fix that?

Okay, I got the solution, but I only have the solution for Mac users.

As someone mentioned, download this file:
/System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBookUI.framework/ABPhoneFormats.plist

Mac users have an application that already lets you edit plist files without converting it into ascii/text. Simply double-click and open the file, and Property List Editor should open.

Go to root -> us. And you'll see the mask for the us:
Click the image to open in full size.

Now go to the mask list for the country code you want. In this example, we go to Australia (au):
Click the image to open in full size.

Copy each of the entries over to the us field and they're identical.
Click the image to open in full size.

Save, and upload it back onto the iPhone and overwrite the old file.

Restart your iPhone (hold sleep button until it asks to turn off, then turn off).

Should all be good =).

Okay, this is to my fellow aussies. He's my custom phone number masking script to Australian iPhone owners. I've added a lot more masks for Australian numbers on top of the ones already there. Here's the list of all the masks in order:

#### ####
13 ## ##
1### ### ###
(04##) ### ###
(0#) #### ####
(61) # #### ####
(61) 4## ### ###
+61 # #### ####
(61) (04##) ### ###
(61) (0#) #### ####
0011 $

thanks!

just want to say a big thank you for your help with updating the phone number format - i've updated my Aussie numbers (by using your suggestions but making some tweaks for my own personal tastes), and so i can reverse it back easily i also took your suggestions of simply swapping the US key with AU and vice versa!

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

Certain SMSes Hang SMS.app

Hi,
I receive an SMS from my bank and on normal phones it appears as from: "UOB"

Now this causes a problem to the iPhone as SMS.app cannot read it.
Any idea how to overcome this? I end up having to SSH my phone and reset or clear the error SMSes.


Also what does the '$' denote in the iPhone list?

It seems easy to change the format for ONE country. But what if you're traveling between many countries often?
Why did Apple implement it with format for each country? Shouldn't iPhone display the number according to, say, country code or something?

Hey Takagawa,

Thanks for the format stuff! I'm still having some problems though, when someone calls that I have in my phonebook as +61 499 999 999, it just shows 0499 999 999 and doesnt recognise that they are in my phone book....

Any ideas to fix it?

Ah, I found it, this will fix the issue regarding the iphone recognising different number formats. It identifies them from the back instead of from the front. Works 100% for me

Aussies, get the 9 digit one
