890907 - [MMS] The country code is not shown in a thread when the MMS was sent from a corporative SIM

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[isabelrios]

Attachment: adb logcat sms received with +number

Bug seen with unagi device 07/07 v1-train build:
Gecko-e7708d4
Gaia-d336288

STR
1. From A: an unagi device with a corporative SIM card (6xxxxxxxx) send a MMS to another unagi device, B.
(Also checked with A being an android device)
2. Check the thread created in B.

EXPECTED
The thread is correctly created

ACTUAL
The thread is created with the number with a '+' ahead of it (+6xxxxxxxx, please see screenshot attached). This is an invalid number, replying to that thread is not possible. 
This could be related with the short numbering used for corporative SIM Cards.
In case it is useful, attached also an adb log file

Blocking since we need to normalize the number.

Comment 3

[Vicamo Yang [:vicamo][:vyang]]

We send MMS with FROM address set to null, so when that MMS is received in B, A's address is filled by MMSC, not B.

Sounds like there's nothing we can help here because MMSC fill in the sender with an invalid number.

Btw, we've already normalized the phone numbers before sending an MMS at Bug 890146, which was just landed to b2g18 on 7/8 (the testing build is 7/7).

Isabel, could you please give it a try with the latest build? We cannot reproduce this bug by ourselves because we don't have that special SIM/MMSC. Thanks!

Hi Gene,

Unfortunatelly I can still reproduce the problem with unagin 07/09 v1-train build:
Gecko-e78450a
Gaia-e251ee6
I could attach other logs if that is useful, just let me know.
Thanks

No worries! Thanks Isabel for the prompt help. I think there's nothing we can do here because the sender field is decided by the MMSC.

So basically a wontfix here ?

Hi Vicamo, hoping to double confirm with you. So, there is no way we can help. Right? It sounds a pure MMSC issue to me.

Yes, FROM address, formated as "<address>/PLMN", is assigned by MMSC.  We just extract it out with a simple regular expression[1].
