Copy-paste phone number in Safari

I tried to copy a phone number in Safari on my iPod Touch 3.1.2. I wanted to paste it in Notes.
After highlighting the phone number to copy, the OS only offers the selection to be added as a contact. That is nice, but it would be nice to have the option to just copy the selected number as well.
Is there any way around this?

Unless Apple announces, there is no way to know what will be included in a future update. They very rarely announce.

  • HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text

    Z10 HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    Help Please. It should be so simple but in the maze of approaches to contacts from the phone or home screen which ever way you get there; how do I select a phone number, copy it and paste it into a text message to another contact so that I can send it on?
    The logic of the interface is totally baffling to me most of the time. Can't there just be one contacts interface so that when you enter it from anywhere it presents the same options to edit etc. Cannot the three blobs be called up to allow a proper edit menu - copy/cut/paste/delete.
    Can the favourites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    Any help on any of these - much appreciated.

    Hey jbee,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    How Do I copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    The only option would be to to select the edit option on the contact and hold your finger on the number and select the copy option on the left side panel.
    Can the favorites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    This feature is currently not available. 
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    This feature is currently not available.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks.

  • Copy and past Phone number bug?

    This is quite annoying jumping from 9900 to OS10. When I copy and paste phone numbers into the phone app it overrides everything and you can't go back to the beginning of the phone number you just paste and add anything like *67 for example, it will only allow you to append to the end of the pasted number. Any idea if there is a way around this or some option that must be turned on or off?

    Copy and Paste from Notepad to Contacts works fine here.   Try rebooting your handset.

    After downloading ios5 to my ipad2, i am unable to copy/paste from URL. Cursor does not appear when I tap on the address and this only happens in landscape position with home button on the right. On other positions, portraits and landscape with button on the left, it works fine. And when it is working, the site will crashed after awhile. I usually copy the URL to skyfire videoQ to view flash video. Anyone with same issue? Anybody got a fix for this? Pls help.............

  • How can I copy, paste and edit a phone number?

    If I copy a phone number then paste it, how can I edit the pasted number?
    For example, my phone has an Irish SIM. If I am in the UK and copy a UK phone number from an email signature it will typically be in local format i.e. 0208 456 7890. I need to dial 00 44 208 456 7890. I cannot find a way to delete the zero prefix and add the country code.

    This one kills me as well - editing phone numbers in the keypad/dialer is a pretty basic function, I could never fathom why it didn't exist.  We need to be able to place a cursor, and copy/paste part-numbers!  I'm constantly trying to paste just an area code, or an extension, or insert the country code, and I should not need to create a new number in the contact directory to do it!
    Currently I do the copy/paste editing in Notes, and then paste the corrected number into the dialer - pointless and inefficient, and contrary to the Apple philosophy of making the user experience easy and seamless...

  • Copy phone number from Address Book dashboard widget?

    Is there any way to copy a phone number directly from the address book widget?

    Generally, if iSync doesn't support the phone, then neither will bluetooth dialing. This frequently doesn't even work with phones that are supported.

  • Issue with selecting or copying a phone no. in dialing or direct calling from websites

    Dear All,
    I remarked that in Z10 I cannot use  in dialing screen neither copy/paste phone numbers nor calling direct from email or websites by selecting the phone no. and taping on it.
    This seems to be a bit annoying when you try to make a call from web or inside the email text, because you do not have even the possibility to paste the copied number into the dialing screen.
    Somebody knows if is possible to do it, as in the other phones ?
    Thanks !

    The dial pad does not allow you to paste a number. But within an email, text message, web site, BBM message, if its a valid phone number example 416-967-1111, it shows the number as blue, Just clik and hold it and a slider appears on the right(copy, call, send text message, View contact, share/NFC, share, ope in). If you just tap it, it will start to dial the number.

  • Copy / Paste into Skype

    In windows 7 you can copy/paste into skype no problem. 
    In windows 8 you can no longer copy/paste into skype. 
    This seems like moving backwards so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

    I was wondering if I can set my area code as a default when placing calls? Sounds trivial but I make a lot of business calls and like to copy/paste the number directly into Skype’s call box, most do not have the area code attached which is needed unless I can find a way of getting Skype to use a default area code. Skype needs all 10 numbers to complete the call, so I'm having to enter 916 each time I place a call.

    Thanks, Kevin
    Since Skype is an international service, setting a default domestic area/city code is not possible.  If you are regularly calling the same group of people, you could define them in the contacts list of your Skype program or phone app.  When you do that, you could put in the international country code and area/city code before each number.  If you are using a Skype app on a mobile phone (i.e., iPhones), you can also make use of the phone's contacts list - if they are set up with the international country code and area/city code for each number.

  • How can I make a call to *190*phone number# in c#?

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an app as shortcut for some requests.
    I want to make a call to this number: *190*phone number# using c# but it never works.
    On the phone, I can call this number and I get a reply from my provider.
    If I try to call it using:
    Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.PhoneCallManager.ShowPhoneCallUI("*190*phone number#", "TEST CALL");
    I get a message saying that I have to use the dialer keypad to send the request.
    Is there a workaround for this (bug)? I mean, if I put the phone number in the phoneCall-request, it is because I don't want insert it manually in the dialer keypad...
    Thanks,
    Adriano

    Yes security LOL...
    If Microsoft want security, they should create a smartphone without the possibility to install apps ;)
    If an app can't make a call (user has to press CALL), the same thing is also possible for a FREE request to the provider, or not?
    Thanks for the link! This show once again that write a utility for WP is a hard work...
    If I create a new contact, I have to call phoneCallTask.Show();
    ... And so I am on the same situation.
    .My phone provider created an app for iPhone and one for Android. I was thinking I would be able to create something for Windows Phone too. Now I know why nobody want to create tools for Windows Phone. The API never allow you to write a utility (for security
    reason, I know ;) )... But it would also be nice to have a utility some times in a store full of inutility apps :(
    About this BUG:
    I can create a textbox where the user can copy the phone number (maybe the app could copy it automatically in the clipboard if there is no security problem about the OS :P). But the user has to exit the app, open the dialer and insert this text.
    Is there a way to open the phone dialer?
    Thank you for the support Cristian!

  • Paste a phone number?

    I understand that the phone is supposed to recognize phone numbers in Safari/email messages and give you an option to dial them. What if the phone doesn't recognize a string of numbers as a phone number, and doesn't provide the option to dial it? First of all, why? And second, is there any way to use copy/paste to dial the number? The best I could figure out was to copy the number, create a new calendar item, paste the number there, save, close and then open the calendar item, and then dial the number. Is there no way to open the dialer and paste in a string of digits?

    if it's a 10-digit code it perfectly works, though in the BlackBerry world there is a notion of BB-friendly numbers where passcodes and confirmation codes are appended to the number to let callers "click once and for all". something like:
    +1.888.999.7711x123#x653#
    such a format is supported in BB easing life of conference dialers. in iphone i didn't find a way to make it "dialable" in a meeting request or a note. although if you create a contact it works. for the above example it would be:
    +1.888.999.7711,123#,653#
    but at best in the meeting request the part before first comma is picked if a space used just after it. in case of no space it's not recognized as a phone format and isn't avaible for dialing.

  • Paste a number into Phone

    I use my iPhone for business.
    I have many calender entries with a conference phone number and a participant PIN.  I can call the conference phone number from Calendar but I can't find a way of copying and pasting the PIN into the Phone app.
    I don't want to set up a contact for each conference call - that is just unworkable.
    Am I missing something or is the iPhone not able to copy/paste into Phone?

  • Safari locks up on iMac - Safari is locked up with a message that says email account is temporarily suspended and phone number given.

    I attempted to open a post on Facebook posted by a relative. The screen goes to http://www.applehelp.net and posts a pop-up saying the apple email is temporarily suspended due to suspicious activity on my computer and leaves an 844 phone number. I'm using Google Chrome right now but I prefer Safari. Has anyone found this in the past and what can I do to restore Safari?

    Oh - thank you for posting - saved me a trip to the genius bar!!  Very easy fix!   I will stay away frtom certain websites from now on, and will only use Chrome or Firefox, something expendable.

    Hi Demo,
    Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
    I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
    My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
    The iPad is first generation
    OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
    Thank you in advance for your time

  • Xperia Z2 phone Copy -Paste option is not available in most of places

    Hi,
    I have noticed that there is no option to do copy-paste from many of places in this phone. e.g. from chrome, address bar , can not copy the url ..  Where in Samsung, can copy paste from most of the places.
    Can expect any new software update from Sony?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes,in chrome just double tap on the link.You get quotation marks and you can select exactly what you want to copy.

  • Copy & Paste into Dialer - Cannot Edit Number!

    I am curious as to why the supposed enhancement to enabling you to paste a number into the Dialer app does not allow you to edit the number once pasted. I do a lot of international calls and people send out email invites (especially US based people) and they send the number as 1 xxx xxx xxxx, omitting the + from the start, which international caller require.
    In previous versions of the OS you could select the number as a link and it would ask you if you wanted to call the number. I had hoped that the cut & paste ability would allow you to paste the number and then edit it to insert the + sign.
    As this is not available I do not see what the excitement is with cut & paste in the Dialer app.
    These little things make all the difference in usability!

    Clearly Apple's developer beta testers did not do enough research on copy past into the dialer pad for INT'L capabilities
    Since they're in so many countries...I'm sure this will be an update soon to follow...
    Apple is "rumored" to read the forums for high level observation ONLY...meaning they may check to see that they have 250 posts on bad battery life after an update...but NEVER reply to the poster...
    In a few articles I've read on Appleinsider.com it is said that some posters actually got emailed at the email they listed in their user profile to answer a follow up question Apple had...this I'm sure is very RARE though and probably would only happen if a specific step or user action needed to be understood to duplicate an error or issue...
