Customize Contact List for Text Messaging

Does anyone know of a way to customize my contact list as it displays when I'm preparing to send a new text? I'd really like to NOT have the 'Home' phone numbers show up since they just get in the way and can't receive texts. Is there a way to only have iPhone or mobile 'types' show up there?
Thanks!

No

They can in some countries where the iPhone is sold.

  • Phone and email contact list for mass-messaging

    First of all, let me start out by saying I DO NOT HAVE AN IPHONE. I am looking up this answer on behalf of my boss, who I believe has an iPhone with the iOS7, I think.
    She has some contacts in her phone where she only has phone numbers and some where she only has email address. She wants to create a list of these phone numbers and email so if she sends a message to that list, it will send to the phone numbers for those she has and the emails for those who she has.
    Does this happen automatically? If not, is this possible? If it is possible, could someone please tell me how to do it? And be as specific as possible because I am not familiar with iPhones at all and she is not very tech savvy with hers.

  • Alerts for Text messages.

    I have sounds imported from my last phone to use on my new Droid Incredible.  I have certain sounds I want to use for text message alerts from my last phone. How can I get them set or am I stuck with just the supplied ones that came with the phone.  I know how to set tones for contacts, but cant figure out how to do it for text messages.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Create the following folders in your sd card.  Move or copy your ringtones to the proper folder and they will show up automatically on the right list.
    \media\audio\ringtones
    \media\audio\notifications
    \media\audio\alarms

  • My phone won't show notifications on my home screen or lock screen for text messages

    My phone won't show notifications for text messages on my lock screen or my home screen, even thought both are turned on under the settings. Once I go into the messaging app, they will show up as new but not anywhere else. I get notifications for everything else except text messages.

    Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
    You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.

    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

    My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

  • Message settings option for text messages is not c...

    I am using  N73 phone and here i cant go to the message settings option for text messages. actually i want to change my message center.
    Message > Options > Settings > Text Message 
    When i tried to follow above steps it finally ends up with the Main menu. But previously it works fine. I want to know there whether there is another way to set it or i need to go for a phone software installation.

    The settings can also the sent directly to your phone as an auto install sms from your network. Contact your network and request they send you the sms.

  • How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

    How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

    DH
    I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect.  If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values. 
    So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once. 
    Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP.  His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

  • I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

    I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

    OCD with good reason
    With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected.  The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
    Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

  • Issue with selecting a contact to send text message in BB Hub

    Dear all,
    Currently, I meet some issues in selecting a contact to send text message.
    In BB Hub, tap Text message, tap Compose,
    In "To:" field, tab "+" for selecting contact, I see that, there are contacts mixing  between mobile contacts, facebook contacs (current, on my Q10, facebook accounts are syned at the first time I login in facebook, but now I not syn any more) so It brings to me a confusion of selecting, sometime I select a wrong contact,...
    So, please help me, when I tap "+", I can filter type of Contact I want to use, for example, I can filter facebook contact, mobile contact,...
    And I don't understand, why don't classify contact based on type of account, mean that:
    Hub is where manage all accounts (face, mail, text message,...), then contacts also classify based on those accounts, for example, when I tap Facebook then only accounts belong to Facebook will be available, and contacts of other accounts will be unavailable,
    And, of course, when I tab Text message, then only contacts belong to Text message (mobile) will be availabe, this will avoid the issue that I mentioned above...
    Could I be helped by these issues or I must wait for a upgraded OS release? And I don't know all critical issues that mentioned in this forum will be fixed in the next release....
    Thanks for your help,
    Regards,
    Don

  • How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?

    How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?  It still shows old contacts once I've removed them from my phonebook

    i know that!! After you delete them and then compose a new text it is still there. Basically you know when you send an email to someone and do not store them it still auto populates their name. This is what happens with my phone. I Google this issue and learn some knowledge about data eraser tips.  Maybe most people still don’t know that actual contents of file are not really deleted when performing simple deletion operation on your iPhone or other devices. But they are just marked for deletion and not shown in the file system of your iOS device. The actual data are still physically present on your iPhone. For iOS system, the only way to completely erase the data is to overwrite the original contents by using iPhone data eraser app. this is the guide on how to permanently delete contacts on iPhone.
      The same thing happens to me, but it doesn't require deleting a contact. When I delete/replace a contact's number, the Messages.app still autocompletes the number with the contact's name and references it as "other". 

  • HT1689 How do I return to where I left off in my contact list when texting multiple people on 5S?

    How do I return to where I left off in my contact list when texting multiple people on 5S?

    If you 6 menu buttons are pointing to Tracks then select the Track and in the property inpector you can set the Menu Remote Control options. Set Menu to the button on the menu you want to jump to.
    You can set this option individually for chapters in a Track also so,

  • MMS (setting a ringtone for text messages)

    Is there an option or way that allows you to set a ringtone for text messages. I previously had a Samsung Instict with another carrier and you could do that as well set ringtones for your contacts. Perhaps this will be in a new software update?? Thanks

    "Is there an option or way that allows you to set a ringtone for text messages."
    No.
    "Perhaps this will be in a new software update?? "
    No way to know.

  • Charges for text messages that cannot be received

    Looking at my Xoom usage online today I noticed that there were 5 text messages sent to the phone number of the line my Xoom is using.  But, as discussed in other posts here, the Xoom cannot receive or send text messages.  I called Verizon to turn off the text messaging feature on this line and the rep told me that the text messaging feature is requried for the Xoom line, and it cannot be turned off or blocked.  
    So watch your first bill very carefully, you will probably be charged $0.20 for each text message even though you could not receive it.

    If you are billed for text messages on the Xoom you can contact us and we will credit the charges.
    Thanks

  • I have a Galaxy SIII and I stopped receiving visual notification for text messages.  How do I correct it?

    I have a Galaxy SIII and recently stopped receiving visual notification for text messages.  How do I correct it?

        Hmmm that's strange TopDiver. Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you checked the notification settings on the device? To verify the notification setting on the device click on menu>settings>sound>notification sound, then test device notifications.
