How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

Thanks again Chris.
I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
Thanks for your help,
Larry

  • How could I change my telephone number from iMessage ?

    How could I change my telephone number from iMessage ? I've try in my Apple ID and doesn't work.

    Hi,
    On your iPhone Add the Apple ID
    On the Mac then Accept the pop up(s) that appear saying the iPhone is using the ID and iPhone number.
    Untick the old number in the list for Receive At and Start Conversation From drop down if it is the listed item.
    For complete removal you have to delete a .plist or two.
    Open a Finder window
    Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key
    Select the Library that appears.
    Navigate to the Preferences
    Find com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist and drag them to the Trash.
    Restart the app on the Mac.
    It will ask for the Apple ID.
    It should get the pop ups about the iOS device.

  • HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text

    Z10 HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    Help Please. It should be so simple but in the maze of approaches to contacts from the phone or home screen which ever way you get there; how do I select a phone number, copy it and paste it into a text message to another contact so that I can send it on?
    The logic of the interface is totally baffling to me most of the time. Can't there just be one contacts interface so that when you enter it from anywhere it presents the same options to edit etc. Cannot the three blobs be called up to allow a proper edit menu - copy/cut/paste/delete.
    Can the favourites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    Any help on any of these - much appreciated.
    Solved!

    Hey jbee,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    How Do I copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    The only option would be to to select the edit option on the contact and hold your finger on the number and select the copy option on the left side panel.
    Can the favorites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    This feature is currently not available. 
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    This feature is currently not available.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks.

  • How can I change the default number for a contact when using Siri

    My husband has one mobile for work, one for home, both are in my favorites. When i'd ask Siri to dial his number, it would always ask me which one to use. Recently when calling him Siri asked if I would like to use his work number as the default and I mistakenly agreed. Now Siri never asks which number to dial and always dials the work number. How can I change that? I would like to make the default the home number.

    Thanks all for your responses.
    I tried to "order" Siri to change my husband's default number and whatever syntax I used for my request Siri responded with a web search on how to set favorites.
    So I ended up deleting the work number from my husband's contact information and I used Siri to call him a couple of times. After 24 hours (random time frame) I added his work mobile back to his contact information, but not in the favorites.
    SIri now dials his home number because it's the only one in the favorites.
    I'll add it to the favorites in due course.

  • I have just upgrade my Iphone 5 to IoS7.03 and one particular mobile number under my contact will not deliver when I send a text message.

    I can not send a text to a particular mobile number in my contact after the ioS7.03 update.
    I can receive text from this number and I can call but I can not send.
    I deleted the contact and all previous messages and reentered the mobile number in contact. Text messages are still undelivered.
    Any suggestions>

    I did solve the problem. I assumed because the message bubble was green that my friend had another type of phone. I was completely wrong! After I just made sure iMessage was on and restarted my phone it works just fine! So I guess iMessage was the problem ☺️

  • I used to have a IPhone3 about three years ago, unfortunately i do not have it anymore. My question is is there a way to obtain deleted text messages from my phone number from a short period of time before i got rid of my phone?

    About three years ago in 1012 I had an iphone3 sent and deleted text messages of course and as of now those text messages are needed for an upcoming court case i will be involved with. So is there any way to retrieve those text messages from three years ago. I am just in need of the text messages from February 2012 on. So its about 6 to 10 months of texts. what do I have to do to get them back if possible???

    As the others noted, if you don't have any older iTunes backups then the deleted messages would not be recoverable. The free trial of Decipher TextMessage will show you if there are any text messages in your older backups that can be recovered.

  • Nokia 7230 - How to insert a phone number from Con...

    I know this is an issue with some other models, but HOW do I insert a phone number from my contacts into a text message?
    -If I go to Phonebook and "copy" number, then I try to paste it into my message, I get an answer that there is nothing to paste.
    -I cannot open the phonebook while I am in the texting window, there is no option, in old models one had "insert telephone number", with 7230 I can only  insert a smile or special character.
    -I DO NOT WANT to send a MMS with visiting card, just plain sms with a number taken from my contacts.
    Thanks to whoever can help!
    Mod

    Hi modjadii,
    The compact UI style used in 7230 does not allow copying phone number to text message the same way as in some previous models but please try this as a solution.
    Write a text message and when you need to insert phone number from your contacts select Options - More - Exit editor (or just press End key to return to idle screen). The text you have already written stays at the text editor and is visible once the editor is opened again.
    Open your contacts by choosing Names and select Options - More - Business card - Via text message and search the contact whose number you want to copy. After selecting the contact you'll get the phone number to screen and you can select Options - Editing options - Copy all.
    Now the number is copied for pasting and you can open the text message editor again and select Options - More - Modify text - Paste.
    Hope this helps.

  • Wipe my phone number from Apple imessage server

    I need to wipe my phone number from the Apple iMessage server to when I receive messages from iPhone users the message isn't parsed into 5 or more separate messages.  I turned off FaceTime and iMessages on my old iPhone 4

    If you deactivated iMessage already successfully, then your contacts who use iPhones will need to erase any existing conversation with you and start a new one - that should fix the problem with fragmented messages.

    I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the account though as per instructiions from the phone carrier and is still not working...Any help?

    Hello jn_andrade,
    It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • My iMessage on my mac is sending from my email. How do i change it to send from my phone number?

  • How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

    Hi all
    I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
    I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
    receive it until i am back on wifi.
    What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
    My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
    On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
    One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    thanks, Andy

    Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
    You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

  • How do you add a phone number from recent history to an exisiting contact?

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded to a Razr M from a Droid X. When I'd get a call or make one to a new number that, for whatever reason, was not in my contacts, it was a simple matter to add. This seems to have the same buttons to add to an existing contact, but it simply refused to do so.
    Let me explain with an example. I had transferred via syncing the backup assistant, my contacts. However, the very first number I went to dial was not in my list at all, which was strange because he was not only in my list but on on favorites and on one of my home screens (so you'd think he'd transfer over). Regardless, after I dialed his number by looking him up off the old phone, I hung up and went to add him. He still wasn't showing in my list. So I went to the Facebook app, thinking maybe he'd pull over that way. Sure it enough it found him but no phone number (no big surprise but some people allow a number to be shown for friends). So now that I have his FB account, I went back to recent calls, pressed and held, and then selected add to existing. I found him in the list, pressed that contact, and hit save. But it refused to link the phone number to his contact info. No matter how many times I re-tried this and hit save (and looked for other buttons to press to no avail), I could not add him.
    I assume that if it will crew up for him, it will screw up for others.
    Please help. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I link a phone number I've dialed (or received) to one of my existing contacts?? Is there some step I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

        Don't worry Mark_and_Karla, you are not really doing the wrong steps, it just needs a few tweeks. What most likely is happening is that some of your contacts may have been synced with your gmail account set up on your old and new phone. This means that it would not show up in your backup assistant listing but rather your google contacts. If you go into your people app and then select the menu button (three vertical square boxes bottom right) you will select Contacts to display. You should see an option for your gmail account contacts. If you see the contact in their then that means it is saved under that form.
    Now you can choose to customize to show both your backup assistant contacts and gmail contacts while in the contacts to display screen. Now in regards to not being able to sync the number to the FB contact listing, it is not an option. All the contacts listed under FB contacts are non editable because they only show you information linked to their FB and that information can only be edited by that user. Now if you create a contact with the same name, the FB app should integrate the two into one contact eventually once it does an update. This is only if you chose to sync contacts with FB when you set up the FB app on your phone. You can delete and redownload the FB app to get this option again. Overall if you follow these steps, you should be able to find and or sync that and other contacts on your phone.
