Default caller name for a given phone number

If you have multiple contacts that have a phone number in common, is it possible to decide which of those contacts is the default display name for that number?
For example, I have an entry for my wife. I also have an entry for "ICE" (In Case of Emergency). They're essentially the same. When my wife calls or texts me, the display says "ICE." I want it to say "Wife."
Is this possible?

Nope.
BTW, I am curious, do you have a passcode lock on your phone? If so, doesn't that pretty much make any ICE contact pointless since they cannot access the phone?
Understand your desire to have it there though. Also, there are apps out there (think called ICE) that can let you put a icon on your screen that says ICE and then link that to a number.

  • How do I determine who is calling me.  An unknown phone number is calling me late at night?  I want to find out who it is.

    How do I determine who is calling me.  An unknown phone number is calling me late at night?  I want to find out who it is.

    Yes, yes, yes. I am well aware about your line of Verizon is "THE Phone Company". Unfortunately, everyone was not subscribed  to "THE Phone Company" back before "THE Phone Company" was broken up. Some people have lines which were not in existence and have never been subscribers to "THE Phone Company". There are new area codes and numbers since "THE Phone Company" was broken up. I was unaware Straight Talk, T-Mobile, Sprint, Time Warner Cable, MagicJack, etc... automatically provide ALL of the private information of their subscribers to "THE Phone Company" simply so these other companies can exist. I was unaware "THE Phone Company" required each and every phone provider in the US to gather information for the USER of a phone when that USER was not the account owner. I don't remember giving my 15 year old daughter's information to "THE Phone Company" when I opened up her line 5 years ago. Obviously I did, since "THE Phone Company" has it as you would lead us to believe. I wasn't aware "THE Phone Company" required someone opening an account with 10 lines to provide the private user information for each and every one of those lines. When I opened up my 4 line account, I only remember giving out MY information. I don't remember validating everyone on the account was related to me. I don't remember giving out the names/DOB/SS #/etc... for everyone using the phones on my account. That information must have simply slipped my mind.
    For what it is worth, I never said they didn't have information on "every single number coming and going" thru their system. That is not the information being requested, though. The OP wants to know the name of the person making the call. If Verizon, aka "THE Phone Company" does not gather information on all users of a 10 line More Everything account from the account owner, where exactly are they getting this information. Furthermore, if they don't even gather this information of their own subscribers, why would you expect they have this information on the subscribers to other phone providers? It is not required to open a 10 line account. They do not run credit checks on all the users. They do not require SS#s on all of the users. They only require this information on the account owner. Are they staking out the account owner and following him/her to determine who is using the phones on his/her account? I guess I am simply too trusting.
    You speak of "back in the way old days". Well these are no longer the "way old days". Lines on an account can be scattered all over the US. The users of these phones aren't necessarily and more often every day not even related. "THE Phone Company" doesn't necessarily and is UNLIKELY to know the identity of the majority of people using phones on an account. The account owner, yes. Everyone else, NO. People making a call are just as likely using an area code/phone number of a location they don't even physically reside. "Back in the way old days" this was much less commonplace.
    Yes, they MAY be able to get the name of a caller, but it would take time and COULD take a considerable amount of time depending on the cooperation of the account owner.

  • Any BAPI to retreive sales area for the given BP Number in CRM

    HI, I am looking for a BAPI which can retreive sales area for the given BP number.
    I appreciate for the quick response and points are awarded.
    Thanks,
    Kumar.
    Edited by: Kumar on Jun 5, 2008 6:40 PM

    Hi Kumar,
    This is not exactly a Bapi but you can use the following 2 functions.
    The function below will get a list of sales areas assigned to the BP.
    call function 'CRM_BUPA_FRG0010_GET_LIST'
        exporting
          iv_partner_guid = lv_partner_guid
        importing
          et_sales_areas  = lt_areas.
    You can then use CRM_BUPA_FRG0030_GET_DETAIL to get the detail of the sales area.
    Hope it helps.

  • Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

    Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

    Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

    This is apparently a known issue, there are a few other threads on here. But I had a chat on here with a Verizon rep who said that they personally had numbers blocked on their iPhone4 and that it had to be done through Customer Care, which if you log on to MyVerizon, the number is under Support --> Contact Us. Who knows if it actually works.

  • "Untitled" as default document name for new documents

    I have one installation of Adobe Illustrator CS2 in a Mac with which I have the following problem:
    Whenever I go to File->New, to create a new document, the default document name is blank, and it should be "untitled".
    Is there a way (without reinstalling) to correct this? (turn the default blank document name to "untitled" default document name, for new documents)
    Thank you.
    Juan Poniachik

    On what Mac? If it's on a new Mac with Snow Leopard, I would guess it is one of those compatibility issues of new OS vs. legacy software. If so, you can't change any of that. Other than that I can only think of trying to edit the document templates...

  • My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
    Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

    Dan is right to be cautious, i've seen this cause problems.
    It's not very difficult to make the chnages in BCS, and if you have a lot of them/frequent changes, you can always use create an upload method
