I know this is not important...but this is the general forum...so I think here is the best place. Sorry if it is off-topic but anyone know how to get rid of the ( ) in the dialing number format?
iPhone uses x(xxx)xxx-xx but I want only xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes this is very interesting..

I also concern about that, waiting for the solution

modify
/System/Library/Framework/AddressBookUI.framework/ABPhoneFormats.plist

in <key>us</key> section,modify it

Thats giving me a load of Code rubbish nothing i can edit. Anyone made one without the brackets they can upload for us?

Cheers!

u must convert plist to readable format using this website http://140.124.181.188/~khchung/cgi-bin/plutil.cgi before u edit it.

Nice one cheers ill check it out...

Done! Thanks Chinaet...

@ chinaet
You've written modify "us".. But in what? Does it know all countries? "de" for example for germany? Or what do you mean?

Good tips - works! The plist shows a lot of local notation forms. Wonder where the locality is defined however, because I had to change the US locality format to change it.

And by the way: included in the Mac OS is a plutil that does the conversion from binary to xml and vice versa
