Comments on: Uniden cordless phones: How to prepend a 1 to a phone number in caller-id http://www.spugbrap.com/blog/2007/11/uniden-cordless-phones-how-to-prepend-a-1-to-a-phone-number-in-caller-id/ This is a repository for my favorite scripts, regexes, commandlines, utilities, code snippets, tips, and other geeky things that might be useful to someone googling for an obscure solution some day. It's also a place to share my thoughts about companies I've dealt with, my favorite lifehacks, observations of interesting human behavior, clever and/or evil marketing schemes I've run across, and anything else I feel compelled to write about.

'*' toggles a '1' at the beginning of the number, and '#' toggles whether or not the area code is included in the number. These two functions work independently of each other, though, so if the caller ID says '434-555-1212' and I press '#', it becomes '555-1212', and if I then press '*' it becomes '1-555-1212', which is just silly. :) Anyways, apparently these features are not consistent from one Uniden phone to another. Oh well. At least I included the model number (tru9280-4), so someone googling for that model number will get useful info. What model number is your phone, Anne? Might as well include that, since you posted a useful trick for that model (pressing '1' to toggle the '1' prefix... definitely more intuitive than '*' or '#'). Oh yeah, and as for the results of trying just pressing ‘1′ on my phone when a long distance caller id entry was displayed: It does nothing.

‘*’ toggles a ‘1′ at the beginning of the number, and ‘#’ toggles whether or not the area code is included in the number.

These two functions work independently of each other, though, so if the caller ID says ‘434-555-1212′ and I press ‘#’, it becomes ‘555-1212′, and if I then press ‘*’ it becomes ‘1-555-1212′, which is just silly. :)

Wait...that's weird the few #'s that should be long distance do not have the 1 in front on my caller id. My friends in Tennessee and Norfolk are both listed but with no 1 in front. What's up with that?? But the "*" does nothing(nor does "#" or any other key). And if I hit 1 it adds the one in front and if I hit 1 again it removes it. Hmmm. Btw- me, my tits and cream puffs are gonna be at your house tonight ;-) Ok, sadly I do not have any long distance #’s in my caller id right now.

As for removing a '1', though, have you tried pushing '*'? On my phones, that button TOGGLES the '1' prefix. You try that, and I'll try what you said, and we can both report back here with our results. <i>oh, and nice tits btw :)</i> @Anne:

Wooo! Tits! All I have to do on my Uniden phone is scroll through caller id to the # I want and push 1- it automatically plugs in the 1 before the rest of the #. I have no idea how to remove a 1 though. My first comment on Dave’s blog! Wooo! Tits!

There's already a 'Clear' function that works as a backspace key--deleting the last character rand moving the cursor left one position. The D-pad should have local functions, but this particular phone does not do that. This phone makes the D-pad take on global functions (unlike some of the little buttons above the D-pad, which have local functionality, like Clear and Select), moving you from one major section to another (left=Phone Book, right=Caller ID). At least the up and down arrows scroll through whichever you're looking at, rather than taking you to a different section (I think).
