Hi guys,
I just bought an ideos yesterday and so far i'm loving the phone. My query however is about how contact numbers are displayed. When you view a contacts number dashes ( - ) are inserted in the number for example
072-212-3456 and I would just like them to be in this format 0722123456. Is there any setting I can change to effect this?
Thanks

Hi guys, I've got 2 Ideos U8150 and a U8800 X5 and they all show the contact numbers in sequence - no dash separation. Operation in NZ.
Maybe this is a quirk with Australian Telcos?
I have both local contacts and Australian entered in all phones and have just returned from a holiday in Aus. on the Sunshine Coast.
I had 1 U8150 and the U8800 X5 and used both without problem in Qld.
I use 2Degrees here in NZ and the phones switch to Telstra and Optus when I'm on the Sunshine Coast. All I have to do is set the Time and Zone and I'm in business.
I can only suggest you contact your Telco's and check with them as mine seem to be all normal. Cheers Neil.;)
ps. Both U8150's have standard Froyo 2.2 and the U8800 X5 has Gingerbread 2.3.5 Update. (Huawei Std).
I've checked the FAQ's Manual and there doesn't seem to be any answer there.:(
