   not too sure brian, how are your numbers formatted??

   i think its +1(242) XXX-XXXX

   which is very similar to our so I would give it a try… i’ll open up the .plist shivanand sent again to see if i can find anything

   Hello Iceland

   Thorgeir, I’ll have a look at the files in a bit and see if i can help. i’f not we’ll see if we can bug Shivanand to creating a world wide fix He’ll be a hero.. (i know your reading this Shivanand)

   Yeah guys, as long as your number convention is +1(XXX) XXX-XXXX you should have no problems.

   July 21st, 2008 at 11:17 am   edit

   Hi Thorgeir, does Iceland have the same formatting as any of the supported countries? If it does, what is the international country code? For Trinidad it is ‘tt’.

   If you figure this out then in PhoneNumberTemplates.plist you can create a new entry with your country code by just making a copy of the supported country’s entry.
   I did this for Trinidad because it is the same as the US.

   tt

   1
   011
   1
   3
   7

   Do the same for UIPhoneFormats.plist.

   tt

   +1 (###) ###-####
   1 (###) ###-####
   (###) ###-####
   ###-####
   011 $

   Let me know if you need more help.

   thanks Shivanand,

   UPDATE:

   i think the country code is “is” and call code is +354-XXX-XXXX

   it seems like Iceland is already be listed in the UIPhoneFormts.plis file

   have a look here: http://mytriniphone.com/blog/images/call-id-iceland.png

   Thorgeir, let us know if you are able to edit the files ot get it working.

    Hi, there thanx for your help, I can see that Iceland (is) is listed in the UIPhoneFormats.plist file but I can’t find any trace of Iceland nor 354 in the PhoneNumberTemplates.plist file. I did upload both of these files, but still it dosen’t work.
    Any idea how to add Iceland correctly in to UIPhoneFormats.plist

    Aaron, thanks so much for your help. That’s correct, that’s exactly what I’ve tried, with no luck so far… I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to fix it :S

    Any ideas?. I think the problem is in the PhoneNumberTemplates.plist… I know the first number is the country code, but what do the others do?. The second is area code?. What about the other 3?

    Hæhæ,
    Here is the caller ID fix for Iceland, iPhone (2G), FW 2.0.2, Pwnage Tool 2.0.3, jailbroken/unlocked:

    1. Get the below .plist file: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppSupport.framework/PhoneNumberTemplates.plist

    2. Convert it into xml with https://brokolice.drsny.net/iphone/plutil/

    3. Add the following lines in TextEdit:

    is

    354
    00
    0
    0
    7

    4. Convert it back to binary file with https://brokolice.drsny.net/iphone/plutil/

    5. Get /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats/UIPhoneFormats.plist

    6. Repeat step 2 with the second file

    7. Add the following lines:

    is

    + (###) ###-####
    00 $
    +354 ###-####
    ###-####
    (###) ###-####

    8. Convert it back to binary file

    9. Import the two new binary files back to your iPhone.

    It works just 100%.
    Enjoy!

To Halftime

Hi there, you need to follow all the steps in my previous post, but instead of adding IS, just add BH.

Once you know the number of characters in the phone numbers in BH, the international country code, and the areal codes, follow the same pattern that you see in the other countries' strings.

i.e. For land lines in Sarajevo, it should look like:

<key>bh</key>

<array>

                <string>+387 (033) ###-###</string>

                etc. etc. {here you list strings with the different area codes}

<string>00 $</string>

</array>

You can see your area codes here : http://www.gts-translation.com/bosnia_and_herzegovinaphonecodes.asp
