[SOLVED] possible to change phone number length ?

[ArcticCat]

I'm having a problem with my HTC touch since it is not showing names for incoming calls since I have all my contacts stored in international format
+961 (x) 123456 for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322716

after struggling with the problem for one day I have found out that the problem is that phone numbers here in lebanon are 6 digits (without area code) and in most other countries 7 and wm6 considering the phone number anything greater than 8 digits

is it possible to change this through the registries?? I can't do it through regional settings since there is no regional settings for Lebanon :(

I found a key hklm\security\phone\PBLookupMinPhoneNumberLength it default value was 8 i tried to change that to 7 and rebooted but no luck

can anyone give me their input on this please?

Do a google search for PHMregedit. Apart from that changing values in the registry with that programme is no rocket science... ;)

Let me edit the above instructions a bit. Below is my version:

What you need: The freeware "PHM Registry editor" software from the internet.
Step1: Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone and find the value name "CallIDMatch" not a subfolder called CallIDMatch... I was looking for a subfolder initially, which mislead me.
Step2: Change the value data from "08 00 00 00" to "0x 00 00 00" (where x is I guess the number length for incoming numbers without country code. In my case it was 7)
Step3: Reset the phone and that's done!
