How do i display phone numbers from Contacts in large type?

The phone numbers displayed in Contacts are difficult to read for old eyes.  How do I display them in a large font size so I can read them without glasses?  Is there a setting or an alternate app that can do that?

The only thing that I know of is Settings -> General ->Accessability -> Zoom
With that on, when you tap the screen twice using 3 fingers, the whole screen zooms.  I've tried the "Large Text" feature, but it does nothing to the phone numbers in contacts, just the text portions.

  • HT1349 just got a new iphone. How do you transfer phone numbers from an old iphone to a new one

    How do you transfer phone numbers from a 3gs to a 4s?

    PLug your 3gs into iTunes, in the left panel right click on your iPhone and create a backup. After the back up is complete plug your 4s into iTunes, right click on it in the left panel and select restore from backup, select the backup file from your 3gs and that should load everything from your 3gs to your new iphone

  • HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

    This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account.  First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point).  The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working.  However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear.  Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
    I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that?  Or any other ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

    Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup.  Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts.  (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.)  Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup.  If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
    Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
    Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
    Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
    When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

  • How to prevent exported phone numbers from converting into garbage?

    I'm trying to export a list of segment members into Excel. Whether I export them as .csv or .xls format, when I open them in Excel, the numbers display in "number" format - i.e. they've been converted to values like 3.58295E+11. If I try to convert the number format in Excel into "text," it doesn't change the number back to its original value. Is there a way to stop this conversion from happening in the first place?

    Not sure if this is the correct answer but I have a workaround. I load the segment into a campaign and choose add to shared list. If you do not have a blank list just create one to load the contacts into- run the campaign and you should have a properly formatted list without the number issue. I am guessing the list you exported has additional data appended that is making it format strange. Hope that helps- has worked for me in the past.

  • Messages display phone numbers not contact name

    After I updated my iPhone 4s last night my messages come in displaying the phone number not the contact name. I checked the number in the contact and they are the same. The number 1 is not in the contact or in the message display. I have readded a contact and it will work after that. I don't really want to redo my complete contact list. Anyone have any idea's?

    I figured it out.

  • Transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    How can I transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    I recently upgraded from 3GS to 4S
    I used mobile me for yers so i trustef this would work -
    Ensure that everything is uptodate on the 3GS
    sign in to icloud in the settings on the 3GS and ensure you are syncing contacts (calendars etc also but as you are only querying phone numbers you only seem interested in contacts)
    use the same Apple ID on the 4s when you initially turn it on to set it up (this is what i did, icloud downloaded everything including my settings and what apps were in which folders and where)
    If your 4s is already set up ensure the same apple id is used in the icloud settings.
    Or you could go back to the pc and sync the 3gs one last time, then when setting up the 4s and it asks whether you want to set it up as a new phone or from a back up choose backup from itunes and then plug it in and select the 3gs backup from itunes to install

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

    How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

    A better way might be
    Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
    There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

  • How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

    how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
    If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

    We are using Exchange 2010, but this forum posting site only lets me choose Exchange 2013.   Is Exchange 2010 still supported?

    I recevied a reply from the Script Center, telling me to post in the Exchange Developer forums.

    You need to understand that either you have to try to learn Exchange and scripting or you need to search for solutions.
    In most cases with EX2010 there are many utilities build into the EMS that can do almost anything you need however, you need to learn Exchange to be able to even know what to ask for,  This is not a free consulting forum.  It is a forum for
    professionals who use scripting in their work or who are currently learning how to use scripts.
    If you are basically versed in Exchange you wil know that the EX2010 home site has all of the resource links.  You should always start there.
    You need to either get a good book on Exchange administration or sign up for a class in Exchange.  It is not possible to guess at how to manage an Exchange installation.  Exchange is one of the most complex system Microsoft has ever created. 
    It may even be more complex that MSSQLServer.  You must be trained at some minimum level to work effectively with Exchange.
