On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Some incoming calls and messages display the phone number instead of name

I recently upgraded from a Blackberry to an iPhone 4s. When I receive a call or SMS on the 4s it often displays only the phone number instead of the name at the top of the screen even though I the correct name and phone number are entered the correct fields in the iPhone address book. I assume there was some kind of conflict when I imported the names from the blackberry (or from my Google contacts list - I can't remember which now). Have any of you experienced this problem? How did you get it resolved?

Umm,
I cannot replicate this.
If I deliberately send to my iPhone Number and reply to that (My iPhone is set to use the iPhone Number) after I have moved Messages behind another app the Notification show my Name and not the number.
I am using iCloud to sync the Contacts apps.

Symbian can be rather stupid and annoying. If you have a contact with multiple numbers in it. Symbian will not show you which number you're calling or receiving, you would have to dig into the details submenus to find out. This is real annoying as a friend called me with his office number the other day. So when I tried to call back later in the evening by selecting his name from the call records, no one answered because I didn't know that he used his office number to call. The little graphic icon next to the caller's name is also pretty much useless and erratic because it will resort to always display the mobile phone icon (in the call history) regardless of the type of number I saved it in the phone book. Also I don't have any caller ID software installed right now so this is pretty annoying.

Agree - the Log screen really should be Green-button-enabled... Still, it does show the number, though the graphic number always tends to be for the Home phone...

How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

I can't fix the signature. I have 2 logos or twice the phone number.

I can't fix the signature. I have 2 logos or twice the phone number. I can go into the signature and fix it there, but it still shows up.
I also cannot fix the font on my prewritten texts.
It worked for 2 years, but at one point it got completely screwed up.
As an example; I have a pre-written text and this text switches the font size three times. I took text out, put it in text editor and back in: same problem.
Another example is: I have my signature show up normal, but then below the phone number repeats in a bigger version.

Are you talking about the print dialog box in Windows XP?
If so, then it is not a Report 6i issue but rather your OS.

The caller ID on this and all other Verizon phones (Android and other types) occasionally displays a "1" before the phone number. This causes the tenth digit to not appear in the caller ID. How can the "1" be prevented from appearing?

Verizon's caller ID delivery system occasionally inserts a 1 before the phone number of the incoming call. The caller ID feature appears to be poorly planned and executed by Verizon. The caller ID feature should display more numerals so the call can be returned. Can the iPhone 6 and all other phone-types on Verizon be configured to omit the 1? This looks like it could be issued as firmware update.

Update - I called the number I was given for "ordering", and got the same phone tree I had the first time I called the number on Verizon's web site. At no point was there an option of "ordering". So I navigated back to FIOS tech support. The guy there said he called "ordering" and confirmed that the right name was in the Verizon directory. I asked him to push the directory entry, and he said he did that. I haven't had a chance to call people and see what shows up on their Caller ID.
I told the support person about the bill collectors calling for {edited for privacy}. He was full of nonsense. He said maybe {edited for privacy}gave out the wrong number. I pointed out it would be pretty hard for {edited for privacy} to put their name in Verizon's Caller ID directory, and maybe {edited for privacy} had my phone number before me. He looked that up and confirmed that my number previously belonged to {edited for privacy}.
I asked the support person if they provide their Caller ID directory to bill collectors, and if I was getting these calls because they have been selling a database that says {edited for privacy} still has my number, which has been my number for nearly two years. The customer support representative WOULD NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. All he would say was there is no way for Verizon to control who calls my number. That's not what I asked him.
I am very unhappy with Verizon, and I suspect until I called yesterday, they had my number associated with {edited for privacy} and they have been providing this erroneous information to bill collectors. I understand that each phone provider maintains their own Caller ID database, but I don't think it is credible that some other phone company's caller ID database would be two years out of date without some screw up by Verizon.
No Kudos. I see Google Voice in my future.

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, whne my phone rings or I receive a text, the phone does not show the name of the contact person only the phone number. I have checked every setting I can think of ?

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, when my phone rings or I receive a message. The phone does not show the name of the caller. It only shows the phone number that is calling. I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of. Any suggestions??

If you are a Verizon user try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.

Is there a way to change the phone number in Messages and FaceTime?

I have scoured these forums and cannot find a straight answer to this.
Here is the scoop. I switched networks with my iPhone 5, so I bought a SIM for it. I then had my old number switched to it. However, in FaceTime and Messages it still displays the original number for the SiM. Is there any way to change this number to the correct one?
Also, I have two Apple ID's to two different email addresses. One for business and one for personal. Is there a way to use them both for Messages and FaceTime? I try to add the address and it shows a 'sent verification email' but I never receive it.
Thanks for your help

Hi, Steve.
Regarding the iMessage phone number, when you connect your iPhone to iTunes, which number is displayed? Have you tried disabling and re-enabling both iMessage and FaceTime?
About your two iCloud accounts, do you have both configured on your phone as two separate accounts?
Cheers.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

How do I change the phone number on imessage?

I just updated to ios 6 and the update for mountain lion. What i cant seem to do is change the phone number on imessage from my wifes to mine on my personal mac pro. How do i do that?

Hi,
In the first Instance Messages allows you to Call from the Contacts list.
On the second hand iCloud will sync your Contacts to the iPhone.
If your My Card in the Contacts (Head and Shoulders iCon) then you will not be calling your own iPhone or it will not be listed as the phone number in the iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 update changes.

Why does iCal insist on formatting a phone number as a hyperlink? How can I prevent this, and prevent iCal from launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number in the event box?

I just want to enter a phone number into an event in iCal. I do not want to launch FaceTime. How can I just put a phone number in an iCal event, without OSX 10.10 insisting on launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number? I use a Macbook Pro.

Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7, it has basically become a brick. It constantly freezes, and the home button becomes completely inoperable. People have suggested a number of fixes for the home button problem ("calibrating", tightening screws, etc.) but none of the fixes solved the problem. Through trial and error, I've come to realize that the problem is that the phone doesn't have enough computing power and that too much of its RAM gets used up by background processes, causing the phone to freeze.
I have found an app that stops unnecessary background processes currently running, frees up RAM, and lets the phone function properly (Free RAM 1.3). Once I've run this app, the phone functions perfectly.
However, this clean up only happens each time the app is launched (ie: it does not continuously free up RAM). So, I constantly have to run it (and sometimes am not able to because the phone is frozen and the home button won't work).
When it is running, the app displays the background processes that are running. Looking at the list, there are many processes for which I have no need, such as processes related to automatic checking for app updates, processes related to iCloud (which I do not use), etc. Preventing these processes from running in the first place would go a long way in making my phone more useable (being able to return to a previous iOS would be a better option, but Apple won't allow this).
Here is my question: is there a way to prevent unnecessary background processes from running at all?
Which app is this?

Sorry if this seems negative but you really should post such a question in the iPhone section of Apple Communities. You are much more likely to get expert help there immediately.
Just re-post with the same detail.
