I need help here.

In my address book the number is like:

John 51231234, when I want to dial John, I dial 51231234
However, if John calls me, it shows like 5551231234, and it is
not recognized.

I tried modifying the ABPhoneFormats.plist, but it is not
working at all, also, it looks that it is a custom configuration
for México, however, it is not working at all.

Do you now what can I do to fix this?
Also, in the plist, there are some numbers when editing, like:

0 ###
1 ###
2 ###

What is the meaning of that numbers? 0 1 2?
Thanks.

try to put either +(countrycode)phonenumber (eg +324668679) or fullcountrycode and phonenumber (eg 00324668679).
This should work, depending on your provider. No need to change anything in the plist.

ABPhoneFormat.plist is only used to display a number when dialing unfortunately not to set how to match incoming phone number to your address book.

The iphone will not match number other than american numbers properly

.

There are the same rules, so you could remove item 1 and 2., it will make no difference...
