How do I add multiple phone numbers at once to a contact? Is there any software able to do this, which I can import to iCloud?

I have my email forwarded to my cell phone via message to [[email protected]].
I do this for the reason that having my emails fetched constantly is a heavy burden on the battery.
This works perfectly, except for the fact that the emails come from a different number every time.
The numbers change by 3 digits from 001-999. (1-210-100-###)
I can write these numbers easily using something like excel to write the consecutive numbers, and not have to write one by one, but I would like to import these easily to my contact under "Email" for several reasons.
1. SMS tone to be consistant
2. Easy identification
3. Easy deletion
4. Message grouping
There are probably more benefits, however I cannot think of any at this very moment.
I want to basically write them all in to the contact to make the identity seamless.
I've tried to do so with
-Gmail - one number entry at a time
-Editing the .abbu file using text editor - Cannot find the phone number location to copy and emulate
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Editing the contact using excel - I downloaded "Addressbook2CSV Exporter" and managed to get the contact information in an editable form.
I got the contact info which looks like
[,Other","","","1210100001 ::: 1210100002","","","","","","","","Generic","","","","","","","","","","",]
MEANING, if I can manage to merge the 999 numbers into one line of text, and add them to the numbers separated by "{space}:::{space}"
then I have my solution right there. This may have turned from an iCloud question to an excel question.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Fair enough.
I started doing this before unlimited data and emails on phones was a common commodity, on my Samsung Blackjack.
I then continued it due to its convenience. My only counter argument is this:
Even when emails are set to immediately push, I am always notified earlier by this forwarding message (sometimes by several minutes/hours due to the fact that it is not dependent on my being connected to 4G or wifi to receive it.
Also, to contradict snozdop's point that both methods use data and battery, I say this - when I use the forwarding method, the information comes in a pure text format and therefore uses considerably less information than an HTML and CSS rich email, with embedded images and such -also, unlimited text messages aids curve costs.
I will, however, give this method a go. In any case, a solution to my original question would still be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys.

  • How do I add multiple video clips at once to timeline

    I would like to add several short video clips to the iMovie (ios) timeline all at once.  Is there a way to accomplish this or do we have to select everything one clip at a time?
    Thanks

    or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

  • In Pages '09, OSX 10.8 how do I print multiple pages on one sheet of paper.  (I used to be able to do this in earlier versions via the "page setup" menu.

    Forget it.  The answer is that the multiple page per page setup comes up in the printing menu.  (When you do command-P)

    Click on the Show Details button in the Print dialog.
    Whenever options seem to disappear, have a look around and explore what is available. Particular when they have what appears to be relevent labels.

  • HT1212 my phone screen is broken and I bought a new phone but I want to get everything off my old phone. It will not sync to i tunes because it has a passlock on it. Is there any way to get passed this?

    My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?

    If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

  • How do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?

    how do I add multiple rows in Numbers for iPad?

    Hi James,
    On the iPod I can only insert what is on the clipboard but I can insert however many rows I have there. Is it working differently for you? Benjoon seemed to think that he could not do this in Numbers. He was ruling Numbers out because of it. He doesn't need to do that because of this issue.
    If I was needing to insert multiple blank rows often I might keep a table of blank rows or just some blank rows at the end of the working table that I could copy/paste. This is no different than Numbers on the Mac.

  • On a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed.  How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them.  this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.

    Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

  • Cant add multiple phone mumbers to one contact

    I accidently deleted the "phone" field when trying to add a contact and cannot find a way to replace it. I now have only 1 field for phone numbers and can only change the title. The "add a field" option does not have the option to adding an additional phone number field. (for multiple phone numbers) Nor do I see an option to restore a deleted field. How can I correct this?

    You'd have to do it in Outlook.

  • How do I add a phone number to Favorites?

    How do I add a phone number to Favorites?

    Here's How:  Tap the phone icon from the iPhone's the home screen. Tap the Favorites icon at the bottom left. Click the "plus" icon at the top right to add favorites. This will bring up your full contacts list. Scroll through it or jump to a letter to find the contact you want. When you've found the name, tap it. This will bring up the contact's information, including all their phone numbers. Tap the phone number you want to make a favorite. That name and phone number are now listed in your "Favorites" menu. Next to the person's name is a small note indicating whether the number is work, home, mobile, etc. To rearrange the order of your Favorites, go to the phone app and tap the "Edit" button in the top left. This will bring up a screen with red icons to the left of the favorites and an icon that looks like a small stack of three lines on the right. Tap the three-line icon and hold it. The Favorite you've selected will become active (when active, it appears to be slightly above the other Favorites). Drag the Favorite to the position in the list you want it to have and let it go. Click "done" in the top left and your favorites will be reordered.

  • How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

    How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
    I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

  • Can I attach multiple phone numbers to my iMessage account?

    So here's my predicament:
    Any time I go travelling somewhere, I like to buy a local SIM card so that I don't have to pay fees for roaming data. The problem is that whenever I insert a new SIM card, iMessage switches to using my new (temporary) number and disconnects from my old (permanent) number. So any new messages I send will either send from this foreign number, or from my email; either one is inconvenient because it tends to start new threads for others in group messages and such. And people who try to iMessage my permanent phone number end up having it fail and then send it as a text message (which I will not receive until I get home and switch my SIM card back).
    Is it possible to have multiple phone numbers connected to an iMessage account? (Without resorting to something drastic like buying more iPhones just to have more active numbers.) It seems like something that should be possible, but I can't figure out how to do it.

    No, it isn't possible.  But you can give Apple this suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
