[Q] Caller ID for incoming call display unknow number even thought it is in contact list
Device HTC ARIA running android 2.3.3
I have one contact, whose home number is 123456789 and work nunber is set to 18005551212 x4500.
When contact call from home, on my cell it display cantact's photo and name
but when contact call from his work it display no picture, unknown name and correct phone number.
if i remove his extention then when contact call from work it display ok.
I know it is not possible to put X in phone number filed but I setup number in google contact Web GUI and sync my phone in that case display number as 18005551212 x4500
Is there any way to store extension per number in such a way that it display correct contact.
Hello,
I'm facing the following problem: My Android based (Gingerbread) smartphone has a number of contacts with several phone numbers (home, work, mobile etc.) for each. When I call a contact the call goes through the mobile operator and I'm charged for the call by him.
I also have an an Asterisk-based PBX with a FCT (Fixed Cellular Terminal, or GSM Dialer or Fixed Wireless Terminal) connected to a VOIP provider that charges much less. If I prefix a phone number in Contacts with a fixed string (containing the mobile number to the SIM card in the FCT, plus some pause, plus the password to access the PBX's dial tone plus a bit more of pause) it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a way to have this standard prefix string stored somewhere and it be automatically padded at the beginning of each number dialed. Ideally, when dialing a contact I would be asked if I wanted to call with or without the standard prefix.
Is that doable?
All help is very much appreciated.

After further searching I've come across an app found on Android Market called Prefixer, by 253below.com. It does everything I want and much more. Maybe this info will help some one else looking for this.
Hello
I need a little help please...
i have configured the follow rule für incoming calls:
When numbers matches:
\+49535111222.*
remove characters:
\+49535111
Add number to call log:
prefixer number
other preferences are default.
i will like to see the 222 at a incoming call on the calling sreen, but i dont see it.
In the call log is the correct number 222, but dont on the calling sreen, there is only the android calling number with all caracters

Hi Tobi,
I'm afraid I can't help with your problem as I've only used Prefixer for padding a prefix to outgoing calls, according to filters. However, they have a forum running at the developer's site (253below.com) and you should be able to have your questions replied there.
So in the contact section under My Profile, I have my work #, work cell #, and home #. Yet when I call from one of those 3 #'s it just say call from "Me" it just shows incoming call from XXX-XXX-XXXX like a non address book contact. Short of making a separate contact in the phonebook for me is there a way for it to show my name when I call from one of those?
Hello all,
I've configured my S2 to forward calls to my S3 (I have to keep both lines active and I don't want to carry two devices).
However, sometimes when a call is forwarded, it shows the forwarder ID (S2 line number) besides of the caller ID.
I'm using CM10.1 on both devices.
Could someone test it and tell me the results?
Is there something I can do to always receive the caller ID?
Thanks!
I have a mobile sim card that has a full integration with our analog phone network: e.g. I have a mobile phone with a mobile, short internal and long external number combined. My colleagues can call my mobile number, my internal number and other people can call my external number and all calls end up on my mobile phone.
It is also possible to transfer an incoming call to someone else in our company using MMI code. When I receive a phone call I can click de dialer button and manual enter, for example, *345#. When the owner of that number answers I tell him I have a phone call for him and I end the call. The caller is talking to my colleague now.
What I would like to do is getting the option to access my contacts instead of the digital key board, as you can image is manual entering and remembering a few 100 numbers impossible.
Does anywone have an idea?
