I don't know why, but after I transferred my phonebook (successfully), I couldn't get vc to work correctly either. Editing the file in accordance with this thread fixed that. Again, I don't know the "why", but i do know that it worked for me. YMMV.

There is a thread on phonebook entries containing special characters such as - & * as well as having paranthesis in the number area code breaking VR. Do a search on "editing the phonebook" or "sqlite" to find the topic
