changing the contact matching

[kaz219]

Hello,

I have a forwarding setup to my iPhone and when I get called through this forwarding, the number is prefixed with a zero. No idea why, I can’t get this to be changed, as I have no access to the device doing the forwarding unfortunately (firm). This prevents the iPhone from matching the number against my contacts, which is very annoying.

Is there something that would allow me to change the matching algorithm in the iPhone?

I looked through cydia but couldn’t find anything yet.

vi and ssh are my friends if I have to do some editing myself, just point me to the right place. I just don't want to duplicate all the numbers in my address book in order to match against the forwarded caller-id…

Cheers,

I don't have the answer for your question as it is asked but why don't you just add "0" in front of of the number in your contacts, that way the iPhone will point out the correct contact calling you in caller ID.

Yes, I am trying to create an appleScript to do this with every phone number.

But if I could avoid having to duplicate each and every phone number in my address book, that would be cool.

You might get around it by adding 0 as the MNC to /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats/UIMobileCountryCodes.plist along with your country code. I'm not sure if it'd work out tho as the identifier should usually be three numbers afaik. Also you'd need Wortel's commcenter patch for the modified bundles to be accepted by iOS.
