I’m having an issue with the Caller ID & Format Fix for 3.0 application. The issue is that all fixed line numbers in Karachi & Lahore now have a ‘3′ added before them so we now have 8-digit numbers in these 2 cities. This won’t show properly when i get calls from my addressbook numbers which are stored as ” +92 (21) ###-#### in the old format & when i add a three before it, the format is lost and it still does not show up in caller id.
The fact is all mobile nos also actually have just 2 area codes because the last digit of the mobile code has been added to the mobile no. This way all mobile nos & big city fixed line numbers are the same: +92 (##) ####-####. This is important because it won’t work without affecting the mobile format as well because they both actually have the same no. of digits with the new 8 digit fixed line no. This was not a problem previously. But now is! Caller id 3.0 addresses the previous method but not this 8 digit fixed line format which at the same should also fix the mobile format once & for all.
