call records are only stored for five days or so...

Is there a hack out there that allows for keeping call records for longer than the default? I'm used to having weeks (if not months) of recent calls available and was using it for when I didn't want to create a contact for something that'd only be needed over the next couple of days. today is Thursday and my RECENT calls list only goes back to last Saturday...
thanks

I could be wrong, but I think it has nothing to do with time and more to do with the number of entries. I could have counted wrong (I got distracted) but it looks like mine holds 80 entries. Mine only goes back to Monday evening!

yep, i checked mine an it's around 80 as well. now it's a matter of someone identifying the right file and the right line to edit in order to bump this value to something meaningful - like a thousand, or two

A thousand or two? That may be a little bit extreme. I personally have a hard time sorting out and remembering what was what. It sounds like if you call log goes back 5 days, and holds about 80, you are getting around 15 calls per day? I guess I might be able to sort through that and figure it out, but 200 calls ago even - no way.

yeah, i was joking about thousands, of course. but i can easily see going back several hundred records to find the number. see, most of the calls i make/get are from contacts. so when i get a call from someone i don't know, i would recognize the number even several days later - based on the fact that it's not in my Contacts and also because I would recall it's area code or some part of the number... silly, i know, but i'm used to it

I guess if most of your calls are from people in your contacts list then the others would stand out. I am in sales, and about 75% of my calls are from numbers I do not recognize, so it would be pretty tough for me to make much sense from my call record. Unless it was from a funky area code, or at a really odd time.

Hopefully someone (or an update from Apple) can extend that, because I like you am used to having a much longer log of calls both received, missed, and dialed.
