Uploading telephone numbers from Motorola MPx220

The Prius can handle receiving multiple numbers at a time, but that phone model (and many other phones) can send only one number at a time. It's a limitation of the phone.

How did you get the MPx220 to send a correct number? When I tried one contact at a time, the Prius received the contact name but instead of the phone number, it displays several vertical bars.

Thanks for any help you can give!

The Prius will display all those vertical bars if you send over a telephone number with any of these three characters: ( )

So, you'll have to re-write your address book/contact list on your phone to just have the string of numbers, without the pretty ()- characters. Then it'll transfer over to the Prius correctly.

(There is a pause character that'll transfer properly, but I don't recall what that character is.)

Also note that the Prius will only take the first number entry for a name. So, be careful if that first entry is someone's fax number! If you have several numbers for one person, you'll want to separate them out into something like: John Doe H John Doe W John Doe C Instead of a home/work/cell number for your friend John Doe all in one name entry.

I've tried editing the numbers, but Outlook has the phone number format (999) 999-9999 as a default that, at least I, can't seem to change.

Is there a way to change the Outlook format?
