Hello dmeehanjr,
Do you have Verizon Call Assistant associated with your account. This allows you to see your home phone contacts.

Regarding autofill, I deliberately have only my home phone in my contact info, yet autofill always puts my cell number in telephone space. How do I change this?

Why is my Z10 sending Text Messages to my Contact's Home phone numbers over their Mobile?

I send Text Messages as Chats (sent to multiple recipients which I can then later send subsequent messages to) because as far as I know there isn't a way to setup a Distribution Group with the Z10.
When I select Compose, and then select a Contact, it is selecting some Home phone numbers instead of their Mobile. WHY?
Any help would be appreciated!

Contact vs phone contacts; Google Android vs Motorola vs HTC vs Samsung

My Droid 2 contact came from several sources. Verizon downloaded by Motorola E815 phone contacts and my contact information from an old HTC XV6800. I downloaded other contacts from Outlook and from my HP Palmtop 200LX. All of this made for a pretty awful database since some of the databases only had a single name field. As I tried to correct many of the entries, I got a ton of "Forced closed" messages which was quite annoying, but I quickly learned that it was my contact database which was the culprit. The contact and phone databases have requirements for the type of characters that are allowed in the fields. If the import file has the wrong type of characters in the fields into which the data are imported, you get a "forced closed" error. After cleaning up all the fields, the "forced closed" problem went away.
In the process of cleaning up my contacts, I also noticed at the bottom of each listing there is an entry called 'Linked Profile' with a number in parenthesis following. The number 1 means that this is the only profile for this person. The number 2 would mean a second profile exists. This second profile could be within your contacts database or your phone contact data base. If you had a higher number there, there could be additional entries within the same database - say one entry of First Name, Last Name and another of Last Name, First Name. I had some with 7 entries and believed that these also contributed to my 'forced closed' messages. I decided to unlink each one and found that many of them had only names and phone numbers. These, I believe, came from the import of my old phone database that had been backed up to Verizon's Backup Assistant. There were a few entries which consisted of a name and email address or two. Some with just an email address.
After cleaning up the database and trying to learn about other features on the Droid 2, I decided to ensure my data was being backed up in my Gmail contacts as well as Verizon's Backup Assistant. When I logged into the latter site, I found over 500 deleted addresses. It seems that all those entries which contained only phone numbers that I deleted from my Droid2 were really phone contacts and were deleted from the Backup Assistant database (they were not totally deleted and I could undelete them if I wanted.) I would have thought though that the remaining entries in my contacts are much more complete with complete home and work addresses , phone numbers, email address, IM address, company names, titles, nicknames, Websites, ringtones and whether to send the call straight to voicemail. However, none of these contacts were backed up the Verizon Backup Assistant. They were backed up to my Gmail contacts. I have my Droid 2 scheduled to sync with Google's gmail, gmail contacts and calendar, as well as the Verizon Backup Assistant. My first question is why doesn't the Verizon Backup Assistant back up ALL contacts?
With the Droid 2, if you select the Dialer icon from the full list of programs, it brings up a keypad with a search bar above and 4 Icons on the top - Dialer, Recent calls, Contacts and Favorites. By the way, clicking on the Favorites icon allows you to select your favorites. After clicking the Contacts or Favorites icon, If you long press the menu icon on the bottom left, you then have the option searching your contacts, clearing the frequently called list or setting up your speed dial. It appears to be the only ways to set up the speed dial. Once set up, you can see the assigned speed dial numbers in the entries for those people in your Favorite list. To dial them just click the dialer icon and long press the speed dial number for the contact you want to call. If you remember the numbers by heart, just go right to the dialer and long press the correct number. My next question is at first I had no trouble in setting up the Favorites or the Speed dial, but lately, when I long press the menu icon, it brings up the electronic keyboard. The only way to bring up any options is to open the sliding keyboard, shifting the screen to landscape mode. Pressing the menu icon will then bring up the choices mentioned above. I noticed this occurring within other applications so I believe it is a software problem cause by interactions with other software or a recent update. It seems to be intermittant, corrected momentarily by opening the sliding keyboard, but after a couple of minutes reverts back to the problem mode.
Getting back to the contacts issue, if you select the Contact icon when the Dialer is opened, while many of the contacts that come up are from the Phone Contact database AND are not VIEWABLE when you select the Contact icon on the Home Page. In fact, I have two entries for myself, one with nickname and last name; the other full legal name (first middle and last). Only the one with the nickname shows up in viewing my contacts in the Verizon Backup Assistant. This entry is also found in my main Contacts database on the Droid 2. The entry with my full legal name is not in the Verizon Backup Assistant database. This entry is only viewable from my phone contacts on the Droid2. It does not show up as a Gmail contact and is not viewable on my main contact database. It is also not the first time that my own entry has disappeared. Can anyone explain this?
I have been reading the forum entries on various subjects regarding contacts with most folks focusing on Google's lack of design. However, my wife has an HTC Incredible which also runs Android 2.2. However, its contact system is totally different from Motorola's, as is LG's and Samsung. These systems have the ability to enter data into either the phone database or the contacts database starting from scratch. With Motorola's system the only way to enter a new entry into the phone database is start by keying in a phone number first. This is confusing to the average user who is typically shown by Verizon people how to add entries to the main contact database. All these systems allow for the entry to be displayed either the last name, first name mode or in the first name, last name mode. Take aim at Motorola, not Google. There may be some aspects of the contact system that are controlled by Android, but the sorting of the database and the ease of making entries is not an Android-specific problem.
Next question, with my Bluetooth earphone paired and connected, it takes almost 30 seconds between the pushing of the center button on the Bluetooth for the Droid2's voice command to say "Say a command", to which I respond, "Call Joe Smith mobile" or some other command. It was instantaneous with my old Motorola E815. This kind of delay is totally unacceptable. Does anyone have a clue about why it takes so long?

Keep in mind, each source that you are importing contact information from has its own platform and technology being used which can be different than the platform on the device. Based on the multiple topics that you bring up, and to ensure that I address your concerns fully, please send me a private message with your Verizon Wireless cell phone number, a callback number where I can reach you, and the best time to contact you. You will want to provide a call back number since you will need to be off of your device when we talk.

Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out.

HT4859 I shared itunes account with my daughter, had never synced my phone with computer, synced with computer and chose daughter's phone instead of create new phone, all phone contacts are now gone replaced with daughter's - is there no way to get contac

I shared itunes account with daughter's phone, never synced my phone with home computer through itunes, synced tonight with itunes but choose her iphone and it restored all her info on my phone, all my phone contacts, text messages and photos are gone - I had auto backup to icloud daily - is there any way to get phone numbers and texts back off icloud?

If you have been backing up to iCloud your camera roll photos, text messages and other data and setting should be contained in the backup. Restoring the backup to the phone should recover them.
To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

No home phone service for more than two months

I am sending this note on behalf of my mother. She has been waiting for technical services to her home phone for more than two months. She has received dates where a technician would come out to repair her services in which she has left work early or stayed home on weekends no avail. My mom is not in best health and has a child with disabilities living in the home and it is imperative that her services are working. It is frustrating to her to pay for a service she's not receiving. This is the worst customer service experience from Verizon.
I am asking for immediate resolve to this issue and to work with us to assure payment for time where phone has not worked Will not be charged to her account. Please contact me {edited for privacy}.

220v skype home phone?

I currently live in Europe and just ordered the 31591GE1 phone for my house. There was mixed data on if the voltage transformer/adaptor would operate on 220V. Now that I have received it, I can clearly read it is 110v only. Is there a Skype cordless home phone that is 220v ready and is comperable to the 31591GE1?

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

Phone contacts replaced by e-mail contacts

Hi there. I'm a new iPhone user. I bought an iPhone 4 (8GB) on Friday, October 14th. Verizon was able to sync my phone contacts from my old Chocolate 3 to the iPhone, no problem. The problem now, just a few days later, is that my Yahoo e-mail contacts have completely replaced my phone contacts. Even in my call log, entries are now listed by the actual telephone number instead of the name of the person I was talking to. I am not using iCloud, by the way. My syncing is done manually by plugging my iPhone into my iMac and using iTunes.
I suspect that I can go to a Verizon store (again) and have them transfer the contacts from my old phone (again). I'd rather not, though. Is there a way to fix this at home?
Of far more importance, how do I stop this from happening again?

I did go to a Verizon store and had them transfer my contacts again. I'd still like to know how they were erased before and how to prevent it from happening again. Oh, and both email and phone contacts are together now. That's not a real problem. Just FYI.

Different fields for mobile/home phone gone in 4.0

In the older version, when you added a contact, you had the option of selecting home phone, work phone, mobile, etc. In 4.0, that seems to be gone, and the only field is for mobile. Am I missing something? Do you have to add separate contacts for home and mobile?

You tap the word 'mobile' and a list of possible fields appears.
And, of course, you can add more fields for more numbers and do the same

Is my skype phone number the same and my home phon...

i do not know how to receive calls to me. Do I have a Skype number other than my home phone?

I was trying to call to my skype number and now I discovered its disappeared from my profile, without notice, contact or warning.

No home phone and no one can find my number

I came back from vacation only to find I had no phone service. i contacted Verizon's customer service who said I have no home phone with them. After further research i was told it was ported over to Cox but I didn't do it. They transferred me to tech support , who then transferred me to new account who said I needed customer service (again) that was experiencing waits of 10 mins (again). Finally hung up. Long story short, Verizon said it was ported over to Cox. Cox has no record. No one knows what happened to my number!

I purchased a home phone connect in April of this year with the big "Of course you can use your fax with the home phone connect" GOD I hate being lied to!! I thought my old fax machine was broken because it didn't work, purchased a new one, still didn't work. Customer support a fax does NOT with this system. Now I have 2 fax machines, both are useless for me now, and a 2 year contract for this piece of s***!! Am I upset!! Our phone contracts end soon,and we will not renew. LIE to me once you may get by, but not s second time, especially costing me so much money!!
Did you do ANY research at all about this product.
From the product description on the Verizon website:
"Device Incompatibilities
NOTE: Home Phone Connect is not compatible with home security systems, fax machines, DVR services, credit card machines, or medical alert services (e.g. Life Alert). HSI/DSL may or may not be available; please contact your service provider to determine if this product is available as a standalone offering."
I did not add the red highlighting, that is how it is displayed on the Verizon website! I have had Home Phone Connect for over a year now and have not had any problems. I kept a landline for use with my fax machine because with the minimal research I had done on the product, I was aware that fax machines were not compatible.
Edit: I also purchased the Home Phone Connect without a contract as I did not think paying a $175 ETF would be acceptable if I did not like the device when I was only receiving a $130 product in the first place. I just payed the $130 and will use this line to upgrade a smartphone where I get a ~$400 incentive if I need it. Then I would consider signing a contract.

The AT&T website will not recognize my home phone number, ID or password.

The AT&T website will not recognize my home phone number, ID or password. I was trying to find an e-mail or chat support and can not locate them. They sent me an e-mail alegidly with a PIN number but there is nothing identafied as such. This means that I can not use my cell phone number to check in.
