Motorola Phone Tools 4.0.4 doesn't transfer home phone numbers
Submitted by ross on Sat, 03/18/2006 - 19:27.
I was importing a vCard file, and found that the Motorola Phone Tools software didn't transfer any of the home phone numbers.
To fix this, I loaded the .vcf into my text editor, and changed all occurances of
TEL;HOME:
to
TEL;HOME;VOICE:
and saved the file. I then imported the data as usual.
Then when attempting to voice dial, the phone was choosing to dial email addresses and fax numbers, so I wrote the perl script palm2pebl.pl:
s/^TEL;HOME.*:/TEL;HOME;VOICE:/; s/^X-Palm-Custom1.*:/NICKNAME:/; /^EMAIL/ && next; /FAX/ && next; print;
which I run via:
perl -ni.bak palm2pebl.pl $1
This script is available here.
