Caller ID in the Sciphone Cellphones


Just like in the previous models, these phones have the caller id annoyance.
When you receive a call or SMS, doesn't recognize the caller name in one of those two cases.

This is a problem with the local code. To fix it we should save every contact that can call us and send us a SMS with two phones in the same entry.
Meaning that on the cellphone field we enter the number as we dial it and in the house number we enter the same number but with the local code before (like +34). To be sure of the code we can always tell the other person to call us and send us a SMS to see how we receive the number.

  1. Yep, that solved it. Did it for a few but does anybody know of an easier way? I've got well over a hundred contacts and really don't want to go through every single one :(

  3. The "Local Code" is the city phone code.
    The one people from another city has to dial before your number to reach you.
    If you cant find it tell me your city and country and i will post a comment with it

  9. One number goes with the city code and other without it

  10. If you cant find where to put the second number is because you entered the contact in the memory card. You need to enter it in the phone memory. That way you have more fields to fill including a second number

  12. I can't get the caller id to work. I associate a picture with the contact, but when I get called by that contact, the picture just won't show! I also tried writing "1" in front of the number, still no use. Could anyone help, please?
