Entering phone numbers with an extention in the contacts app?

How to enter a phone number in the contacts app phone number section so that it will automaticly dial the extention or pause and then dial the extention? i.e. (123) 123-4567 ext890
Can this even be done?
Thank You.

When you manually dial on a land line or with other cell phones, does it matter if you omit the "(0)"? Is it in EVERY number? What happens if you manually dial the iPhone with the (0)?
I don't know the official "standard" dialing format where you are, but what was programed into the iOS doesn't appear to require those characters, and the phone can't recognize numbers with them as telephone numbers.
In the US, land line carriers usually require a "1" added to the beginning of a long distance call to go through. Most cell carriers don't need the 1, but the call goes through with or without it.

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.

We have 2 iphones both synched to 1 ipad how do we reovw phone numbers from only one of the phones

We have 2 iphones and they are both synched to an ipad, how do we reomve phone numbers from only one of the phones without hte numbers being removed from the other phone

one can't sync iPhones with ipads
best you can do is to sync all with iclouds
if you do so and wish to stop syncing contacts with one of the iPhones you have set it not to sync contacts in the settings of the iPhone

Why do phone numbers disappear in Address and IPhone Contacts?

I've noticed that my wife's phone numbers get cancelled out of the Address Book and IPhone Contacts after a sync. I have only noticed my wife's phone numbers missing. Don't know if others numbers are missing too. Her name and email address and notes stay. Only the phone numbers get deleted.

Check your address book on your computer to make sure everything is in order first, then go into iTunes and choose the box under the sync options for your iPhone that "Replaces" all the information on your iPhone with that of your PC in the category of the address book. See if that helps.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Why is the contact search different when accessed from the 'phone' app vs. the 'contact' app?

When I have the phone open and I want to select a new contact to call I have to use the search function, find the contact, find the number i wish to call, call.
before I could just scroll through to find the one i want, select the number and the call would be made. (as you do if you open the contacts app) can I change this back?

Perhaps you have 2 or more contacts with the same phone number? If you do anything that displays the name associated with a phone number will chose at random.

If i have 2 phone numbers under one name in my contact book and i send an sms, do i send this sms to both numbers?

if i have 2 phone numbers under one name in my contact book and i send an sms, do i send this sms to both numbers or only to one of them?

and if i don't select anything?
i open my sms, find the last one from the person i need and just type my answer...
will it be send to the both numbers i have under this name? how my Iphone know, i need exactly this one?

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

Help!!! My husband by accident synced his account under my account and has merged all of our contacts. In the process of fixing the mixup has deleted contacts on both phones. How do I restore the contact list from the original contact list.

I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

IPad won't display my Gmail contacts in the Contacts app that comes with the IPad.

I have never been able to get my Gmail contacts imported into the Contacts app that comes with the IPad.

If you can be more specific about what you have tried, someone might be able to offer other solutions.
I sync my contacts and calendar with Gmail too. I don't use iCloud for syncing contacts. I have set it up as an exchange account. That works on both my ipad and iphone. Any changes made to either is reflected on the other.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add new account>Microsoft Exchange. Leave out the domain name. The server when asked is m.google.com. Turn on contacts (and calendar or mail if you use them) and that's it.
If that does not work, perhaps you can describe what issue you are having.

Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive
