problem with voice dialling

4 replies · 2,272 views · Started 02 May 2003

Has anybody come across this problem:

I have got voice dialling working for contacts with mobile numbers but not for ones with only landlines.

e.g. I have a contact with only a Phone (h) entry. I set up voice dialling as normal, but when I try to call this entry voice dialling adds the national dialling prefix to the number and this causes the connection to fail.

I have the number stored in the following format Country Code, Area Code (without leading zero), Number. Voice dialling is adding the zero after the country code.

NB. If I actually store this number as Mobile (h) the problem vanishes!!

seems silly, but have you put + b4 the country code?

I have numbers stored as +44 207 xxxxxxx and it works fine with voice dialing.

Yes, I have all my numbers stored this way.

Weird. Works on mine (just tried it).
Is the same number in your SIM card, or was this entry explicity imported from the SIM? I had some problems with duplicate entries between contacts and SIM until I cleared down the latter.
s'only a thought.

I have just deleted the phone book entry that was creating this problem and have inserted a new entry with the same name and details........and surprise surprise it now all works fine!!! 😮

May have been some gremlins when copying the entries from the SIM card to the phonebook
