Selective auto-formatted numbers in Address Book
Authored by: marook on Jul 26, '04 02:48:13PM

I guess number 11 is the zero in the front.

But, this also goes for any other numbers, like if you add the countrycode in front: +45 ## ## ## ##

One think that would be nice, is if AB could show the number as both local and International. Ie. if it was +iii (0) aaa lll llll, it could ad the zero for local calls, and hide it for international calls. Now, that would rock...

Selective auto-formatted numbers in Address Book
Authored by: chyna4xena on Jul 26, '04 10:35:37PM

For the record, Australian mobile numbers are indeed 10 digits in length (including the leading 0), but get formatted 4-3-3 normally. The format for the Address Book is therefore 04## ### ###. You will have to list this format above the (##) #### #### land line format in the preferences, because the first pattern that matches is used, so having the (##) #### #### first will format your Australian mobiles as (04) 1234 5678 instead of 0412 345 678.

Selective auto-formatted numbers in Address Book
Authored by: starwxrwx on Sep 22, '04 05:22:02AM

yes!

u need to put the "04## ### ###" before (in my example) "08 #### ####" or it has a freak-out (and wont work)

i assume if you are in nsw you would put the 02 format first...

anyway the order is important - thanks for pointing it out!!!
