6400 Caller ID ?

[Shaka Zulu]

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find it...

I recently switched from using a Sanyo SCP 6200 (accidentally slammed the car door on it) to a Sanyo SCP 6400 and I've been getting used to the subtle differences.

However here's one that is irking me:

My brother lives in another state, so I have his phone number saved in the phonebook as 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX

When he calls me, it shows up in caller ID as XXX-XXX-XXXX which the 6400 is not recognizing as his number in my phonebook. On the 6200 this was not a problem, it was able to recognize that an XXX-XXX-XXXX number in caller id matched a 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX number in the phonebook.

Is there a setting on the 6400 that could fix this? Or a way to set up the phonebook so it could both recognize incoming numbers and allow me to dial out (short of assigning both versions of the numbers to everyone in my phonebook) ?? I'd like to avoid having to manually prepend a 1- to every out of area call I make (which happens multiple times per day)

Thanks,
Shaka

you really dont need a 1 for all the numbers though

You shouldn't have to prepend a 1 when dialing long distance on your cell phone.

Try removing the 1 from the phonebook also and just have his area code and number

yeah...LG is also guilty of that problem with 1s
