Could you please show the sample debug output when reading such entry
from the phone? Ie: 'gnokii --getphonebook ME 1' or something
Or is it the one below?

And it breaks on these extra spaces? If so I can write a simple filter
for reading
numbers from the external sources that filters the spaces.

It should be easy to fix. I'll try to do it till Monday.

BTW. I'm currently working on importing/exporting LDIF entries to be
able to
exchange addressbook with Mozilla.

I'm afraid it is not documented anywhere. In short: when you send some
frame
to the phone, it responses with the other frame. We try to interpret as
meny
frames as possible. But we don't know meaning of all frames (eg.
because
we were not able to generate such response. In such case the message
you
got is generated.

The messages are then displayed: the request and the response. To
change
the behaviour you need to edit the phone driver: common/phones/*
files.
There you should find the corresponding functions (there's one handling
function
per one message type) and add the switch case for your frame (if you
can
interpret it).

As far as I can see you were trying to save:

Right?
