0 Helen Crozier 6 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I am in Australia and the format is not correct for us.There does need to be some localisation settings so this is fixed.I always have to go in and edit the phone number which makes it less than satisfactory.Is this the correct area to report this and get feedback on such issues?

0 eridum 0 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This is a very anoying problem for me too.I don't understand why Scannable is doing this and it's very irritating to have to edit every single phone number. Fix this please. Link to post

Fix this please. Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're having a problem with phone numbers. Are you having the issue in the Evernote app or the Scannable app? We fixed the known phone number formatting issues in a prior release of Evernote. Thanks,Chuck Link to post
0 eridum 0 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Chuck,This is in the Scannable iOS app. I do save all my business cards in Evernote but through Scannable. Link to post
0 Helen Crozier 6 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I just tested it in the Evernote app - the result when I scanned a mobile number which was in this format 0400 123 456 it came into evernote like (040) 012-3456 - still not super useful unfortunately.Scannable does the same.In Australia we have local area codes of (02) for landlines but the format listed above is the most common for mobiles.

0 Chris Jensen 0 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Agreed, I'm seeing the same problem on the latest Evernote for Android, no options to fix this. Even just an option to turn off formatting and leave the number as displayed on the card would be a good start. Link to post
0 Michel Verheem 2 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 YES PLEASE Change this to either: - Let us choose what format- Use the format as on the business card- Do not format at all Really annoying otherwise Link to post
0 GenOz 0 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 YES PLEASE Change this to either: - Let us choose what format- Use the format as on the business card- Do not format at all Really annoying otherwise I agree it needs more options for customising how numbers appear as the current default is not working for Australian numbers or for storing international numbers.

0 eparadis 0 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Still problematic! Please, correct this issue. From Canada ;-) Link to post
0 renton 0 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Same issue here (in Canada). Scanning business cards was one of the top reasons for me to become a premium member... please fix this. Link to post
0 lotsachutzpah 0 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I am having terrible trouble with scanning in general on Evernote 1. on the Android system it changes its mind and decides to use photo instead of documents. If you want to change them to another format you must notice it before you save it otherwise its a permanent img 2. On IOS the camera is not working its crashing on my ipad mini Anybody had similar problems? I have been advised by support to downgrade. The point is why did evernote do this at all we had a perfectly good scanning system prior to April where you could choose business card or document etc before you scanned. Whats the advantage of automating this ? I can't see any other than dumbing down the system Can Evernote read this and change it back to the original system Link to post
0 renton 0 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hey Evernote! Can we please have an ETA on being able to change the default phone number formatting? I'm in Canada and this has been a pain for a long time now. Thanks. Link to post
0 Dathi 0 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Yes, please, please, can the app respect the phone numbers formats of various countries? It's wrong for Australia Link to post
0 Vocalisten 0 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This is a very old problem - and it is still not fixed. Why doesn't anyone take care of this? Link to post
0 DizzyDragon 1 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I am still facing this problem scanning business cards on Android app. Can we please have an option to specify the format for country code? Thanks. 1 Link to post

In Canada, the phone format is (nnn) nnn-nnn where (nnn) is the area code.
When I scan a business card with evernote for IOS I get the phone format nn nn nn nn nn which is the Europe format.
The business card function of evernote is therefore not usefull and I never use it because of that bug.
I reported that bug to evernote more than a year ago, and a second time a few months ago.
It is still not fix.
I retest that function on every new version of evernote and I am disapointed each time.
What are you doing?????
Please fix that problem.
Thanks
