2 contacts have phone numbers mixed up on iPhone

I have 140+ contacts in MobileMe and have just come across a very worrying and frustrating issue.
Two contacts that I use regularly seem to have swapped numbers on my iPhone 4.
They are correct on my Mac, on me.com and on my iPad. All devices are synced via MobileMe and cannot work out why they are displaying and dialling the wrong numbers from my iPhone. This is compounded by the fact they are both medical numbers that I really upon for easy access and are stored in the favourites on my iPhone.
Apart from being mystified and worried as they are important numbers, I have to wonder if any others are messed up to and how this came to be.
My phone is a vital piece of equipment as I am a carer and I can't have this sort of thing happening
Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

Hi Aldofaldo1,
The message from Ann154 was correct. Due to both phones having the same size SIM Card and the SIM Card being the one carrying the number, a simple swap of cards will swap the color of the phone between the two. I have tested and verified this works. The "Aging" process you spoke of is used for placing a new number to that specific SIM Card.
For example: Your husband has the iPhone 5 with nano SIM and you have an Android with micro SIM. You want your husband to have your Android and you want to have the iPhone 5. You can't just move the SIM cards as they're different size so then you need to change the number on the SIM.
This aging process doesn't apply to you so no need to be concerned. If in the future you need to review the process, just visit

TS3398 I have lost my contacts that were entered into my iphone in addition to those that are synced from my exchange account. Iphone is only showing email addresses, no contacts with phone numbers.

Two days ago my phone locked up and when I could access again, my contact list was only a few names and email addresses. ALL phone numbers wiped from the phone. I have been using google sync for three years to sync contact and calendar to gmail and then sync gmail to iphone, and it has been seemless. I would think this was the problem, however the contacts and phone numbers that were added directly the phone are no longer on the phone either....which point to a phone problem.
I went home, to update but ended up having to "restore" from backup, which I did. The contacts were visible for less than 24 hours, but then disappeared again the next day. I have tried forums for google sync as that would solve a large amount of the contacts, but I still can't seem to find a solution for the other contacts added directly to the phone.
are there any new glitches/issues with the iOS 6 that cause this problem?
phone is 3GS.
thanks.

Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

How can I print all my contacts including phone numbers from iCloud

I used to be able to print all of my contacts including phone numbers etc from iCloud. Since all the upgrades I can not do this. I used to be able to change the display by clicking on a ribbon at the top then clicking the gear to have it print. No ribbon any more and no way to change the display. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks again Ferd. I looked up equivalent of command key on Dell keybrd. It is Windows insignia, however that didn't work. I selected all with the pop up menu by right clicking, which accomplished the same thing, however when I tried to print, it would only print out a couple of names per page and no add'l info. I stopped the printer and tried manually highlighting and selecting all with the same printing result. I finally gave in and called Apple support. After explaining my problem, while I was on hold, I thought I would try the process using Google browser instead of I.E. Guess what, IT WORKED!! All that hassle because of Internet Explorer. I now can print (or print to .pdf file to save) any time. I do appreciate your input that would have worked with the interpretation of the command key had I not used IE. live and learn. :-)

Are phone contacts with phone numbers automatically backed up

Are phone contacts including phone numbers automatically backed up in icloud?

Yes, but restoring them from a backup can be difficult and isn't officially supported by Apple. To make sure you have them backed up, use an app like My Contacts Backup on your phone to back them up as a vCard attachment to an email. Send the email to yourself an save the attachment. If you ever need to restore them you can email the attachment back to your phone and tap the attachment to restore them to your phone.

Hopefully you backed up that info on your Mac or PC. Do a restore and they should all come back. If you have an iCloud account you can recover them from there as well.

Want to just have phone numbers on phone can you have different groups with and email group as well

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

I have model series KX TG7641 /w 5 phones....
My questions:
1. Can the directory of phone numbers with in my iPhone be transferred to the Panasonic and retain the individual number designations; i.e., "home-moblie-work-etc"?
2. Can I use the manual select on the Panasonic to selectively transfer numbers from my iPhone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
FYI, there are no viruses that affect iOS unless the device has been hacked or jailbroken, in which case they cannot be discussed here.

Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?

Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?
What I've done:
I've upgraded my iphone from 2.0 to 2.1. To be able to do this I've upgraded to the latest iTunes and switched my USB port several times until it was finaly installed. Then, despite iTunes taking 3 hours time for making backups, I found my phone to be completely empty when it was finished. So, I tried to restored the phone. This gave an error 1602 and bricked my phone. Tried it all over again two times more with same results.
The bottom line is that I have an empty phone and I really would like to have my phone numbers back. There's some 1.02 GB of backup information in the apple directory, so I guess they must be something there. But how do I know which file I need and how to decode it?

Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
"Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

How to retrieve phone numbers once deleted from iphone?

If your iPhone's iCloud was on go to www.icloud.com from your browser and login and you should find your contacts under contacts

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

My contact's phone numbers have all gone, but their email addresses are still in my contact list. How do I get all those phone numbers back?

I am needing help with my iphone contacts..
When I look into my contacts, everyone's email addresses are there, but all the phone numbers I had are completely gone. Does anyone know how this could have happened, and what I do to get them back?

There's a list of things to check here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3792.

VCF contacts dropping phone numbers

N95 8G
PC Suite 7
I've had no luck importing .CSV files into the contacts so have resorted to .vCF files.
I've got all the .vCF files in a folder on the desktop and when I open sample ones all the info is there.
When I import into the contact manager they all go in and virtually all the informaiton is there except for phone contact numbers - office, home, mobile - all gone.
The numbers are definitely there in the original .vCF files - this appears to be an odd case of the contact manager failing to read/import any .vCF phone numbers.
Any thoughts ?
Is there an option that I'm not checking ?

Anybody any ideas on how to get some contacts into the N95 8G ?
Contacts are currently stored in a Yahoo address book - my export options are .csv and .vcf.
Despite the promises, the contact manager doesn't like the .csv format and drops the phone information off .vcf.
Any thoughts ?

Outlook contact "other" phone numbers not syncing.

It seems when I have multiple phone numbers in an Outlook contact other than work, home, mobile, and other; these phone numbers aren't syncing to the iphone. These are numbers that, in Outlook, you have to click on the field to select and see the other number.
For instance, say I have a contact with a work, home, mobile, and other phone number. In Outlook, I want to add a Home 2 phone number. So I click next to the home field in Outlook and select "Home 2" and then enter a number. Now I have both numbers stored in Outlook, Home and Home 2, albiet I have to toggle between the two to see them.
These are Exchange activesync accounts and I have replicated this with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010. Outlook 2010 is the other side of the equation.
Home 2 doesn't come over to the iPhone. And it not just "Home 2", that was used as an example. It's essentially, it seems, any numbers that you add beyond the four fields available in the Outlook contact. I would really be surprised if it wasn't capable of syncing this. Am I missing something? Anyone else having the issue or successfully dealing with it? TIA.

I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
(Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
Hope i helped someone
1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

Limit contacts to phone numbers only

Is there a way to limit the contacts list to phone numbers only instead of having it list people by phone and all of the email addresses that aren't associated with email addresses?

Try adding a + in front of the country code.
