Hey guys, do you see the incoming call number on MID?

I use sony ericsson

 

I have a Motorola V3 Razor, 1st Gen and i do see the incoming number on the MID.

 

how many characters are the phone number... coz i am in canada... and by default... the network sends out the full 10-digit phone number (eg. +1-416-123-4567) but i dunno if the display fits.

 

It depends on your cell phone. The TL HFL is more compatible with some phones than others. Please search within this thread: 3GTL/2GRL Bluetooth Phones Compatibility... to see how your phone measures up. You can also search this forum.

 

I get 10 digits. e.g. 206-123-4567

 

That's what I get too. Full 10 digits. I have a Verizon LG VX8300. (I think that's what it is!)

 

I have a v710 I bought shortly after I got the car in 2004, and I get all 10 digits.

 

is there a way to program it to show names?

 

It would only make sense to have it programmable, but I don't think you can. I always have to look back on my phone to see whos calling.

 

I get 10 digit number with Nokia 8801 and did the same with previous Nokia 9500

 

I do for the numbers I've programmed into the HFL phone book.

 

I have started adding all of my contacts that I call on a regular basis to my Nav personal addresses. I can just touch the screen to give them a call...it is pretty convenient.

 

oops.. sorry guys.. i meant 11 digits

coz the gsm networks sends the +1 to my phone also

so it appears as +1-416-123-4567
i dunno if that affects it

 

Why do you need the 1? I don't dial 1 when I use my cell phone, including on what would be long-distance calls on my home phone.

I just got a RAZR yesterday and it shows the 10 digits as well, at least when I paired it to the car this morning and tested it with my home phone it did. Now I just need to do some research (using the SEARCH function ) to try to figure out if I can operate it like the v710 with shortcuts and the like.

 

i never thought about that..adding numbers in the Nav personal address..i will give that a try tomrrow..

 

I have a Motorola RAZR v3, and I see the number (10 digit).

 

in canada, rogers network sends out the full 11 digits
+ & "Country Code" & "Area Code" & "Number"

so i dunno if thats causing the problem.. itz not that i want it to show... it just does..
