For example, here in Venezuela is

as the numbers are +58 412 1234567, being 58 the Country code, 00 the IDD, 0 de NDD, 412 the Area Code and 1234567 the phone number.

If I understand correctly would this be correct for Jamaican

ja 876 011 1 3 7

+876 945 1234 ?

Hi kalonji ,

I have a friend in Barbados which is +1 246 253 XXXX and I sent the file formatted as

bb 246 011 1 3 7

and it worked like a charmed for him, so it must work as

ja 876 011 1 3 7

as Jamaica uses the same formating as Barbados.

That's not correct. If you translate "bb 246 011 1 3 7" back into a phone number then you get "+246 123 1234567" (international) and "1 123 1234567" (local).

Thanks in advance...

My aim is the stop the sms/phone crashing when in Jamaica. This what I have done so far

ssh root@192.168.1.6 into my phone and added the MNC/MCC for Digicel an C&W

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/UnknownCarrier.plist /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/33805

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/UnknownCarrier.plist /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/338020

I am on the last step now, the add the App Support part

I don't want to edit the AppSupport wrongly and prevent my 1.1.2 iPhone from booting, so I just want to confirm something. This is what I've gather so far

From this http://www.kropla.com/dialcode.htm I found out that Jamaica area code =
Jamaica +1-876* 011 1
I assume that I need to edit AppSupport to look like this
e.g.
ja 876 020 1 3 7 =Digicel
ja 876 005 1 3 7 = C&W
ja 876 180 1 3 7 = C&W

Would this work? Thanks in Advance

It seems that you have missed an important posting: Jamaica is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), so the phone numbers in jamaica use the same rules as US and Canada.

So a single lineis needed:

ja 1 011 1 3 7

That's all you need.

Remove any country you do not need and add that single line.

Tim, as I pointed out NANP implies:
CC=1
IDD=011
NDD=1
Area code=3 digits
Subscriber number=7 digits

These countries are like a single US area code.

This is true for ALL NANP countries: US, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.

Hi aviegas

Thanks a million, hopefully this resolve my sms/phone crash issues i experienced the last time I was there...

Tim,

You are right, but It is working or at least that's what my friend told me...

So +[1] (212) 222-3333 is the same as +12122223333.

Anything that is not a "+", a number, "#" and "*" is removed before the decomposing

Now from your posting, if that's the only format you receive:

hk 852 001 - 0 8
hk 852 009 - 0 8
hk 852 0080 - 0 8

Assuming all numbers are 8 digits. The 3 lines are for the 3 providers of international calls, per: http://www.kropla.com/dialcode.htm

Hey Aviegas,

You're the MAN! It works! thank you !

Thanks to all who contribute to my effort, I was able to elimnate the the sms/phone crashing with my Digicel SIM

What I did was add

JAMAICA;JM;1-876

jm 876 011 1 3 7

To AppSupport

UPDATE: its works much better with jm 1 011 1 3 7
text message now associated with contacts

Thanks a million Aviegas
