How do I get iMessage and phone to ID proper contact card when caller's appears on multiple cards?

I'm trying to set up the "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Contact Card on my iPhone. (As recommended by Emergency Personnel, as it is the card they will look for on your phone in the event you are in an accident.)
After inserting my Brother's and my Son's numbers as the contact numbers, whenever i receive a Text or Phone call from either one of them, the call or text is identified as being from ICE. So all photos, ringtones etc don't show up, and i don't know initially if the call is from my brother or my son.
I'm assuming that is happening because the iPhone finds the first instance of the number while searching alpabetically through the contact list. Since ICE occurs alphabetically before the contact cards for my son and my brother, the texts and calls get id'ed as being from ICE.
Is there a way to set the individual cards for my son and for my brother as the default cards to be used when identifying incoming texts and calls? 
Since the use of the ICE card is recommended by emergency personnel, perhaps Apple might come up with a solution for an ICE card for those of us with surnames occuring after "I" in the alphabet.
Any help is appreciatied.
Thanks,
Ian

  • How do I get internet and phone to cabin in garden...

    I have built a cabin about 90' away from my house in the garden. How can I get an internet connection and phone line
    to the cabin? I have a router in the house but it gives a weak signal down that far. Can one run a phone line down and use this for the internet? What kind of wire? Etc!
    Replies much appreciated!

    The simplest solution if you don't mind running cables is to run a long phone extension, and a long ethernet cable for the broadband.  If the cables will be exposed to the elements, make sure you get exterior grade cables.
    Phone line would just be the normal twisted pair phone cable.  Ethernet would be Cat5e or Cat6.

  • How can I PREVENT imessages and phone records from being deleted? Its good to be able to block things, but I need to know that no content is being deleted either.

    Restrictions allow the requirement of pass code to deletion of Apps, but not of actual phone content. That is only half the solution - if someone wants to communicate with another person badly enough, they will find a way to create a different user account, phone number, etc.regardless of whether or not the number/person is blocked. I need to see ALL communication and ensure nothing can be deleted without a pass code.

    There is no way to do that. If some one is creating new accounts to communicate with you after you've asked them not to, you have a bigger problem. You may want to talk to your local law enforcement about stalking.

  • How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

    How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email? I've signed out and signed backed in on all devices but it still doesn't work. Phone number shows up on my iPhone only. Apple support article does not help, the screen don't even match mine.

    Hi believer924,
    Happy Holidays!  What version of Mac OS are you working with?  The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage.  On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
    This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
    On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
    In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
    OS X:
    Phone number missing on OS X
    If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
    If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

  • I turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn back on and asks for mobile data or wifi to be on but my mobile data works fine! How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

    I Turned my iMessages off and now it won't turn on again without saying that wifi or mobile data must be turned on, however my mobile data works fine. How do I get iMessages to turn on again?

    I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged.  My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons.  It worked......would be worth a shot.

  • My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    My imessage wont activate and work, and i dont receive messages from people useing imessage? how do i get imessage to work?

    I recently moved back to Australia for school from Canada and signed up for the new iphone 6 plus. After using icloud to save and backup from my previous iphone 4s, all of the apps eventually worked....except for whatsapp. After looking through my phone and numerous chat forums, it appears that my imessage and facetime are stuck in, "waiting for activation".....is anyone else having problems with this?
    I am curious as I am unable to receive the whatsapp code to re-activate my application. This brings me to my second question, is this an iphone/apple problem or a whatsapp third party problem?
    I've had friends send imessages to me and they appear to coming through. I have already rebooted and restarted my phone numerous time. A strong connection to wifi and data stream have all come in loud and clear.
    I have tried all of the directions that were posted and still have no whatsapp and imessage still inconsistent.
    Thank you

    Copy the iTunes folder from the disk to the Mac, and the iPhone backup to the right place on the Mac (Google for "iphone backup location"). Then when you restore you can reload the last backup.

    The main thing is to update your Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and you will have an option to use the app Messages. Just add the account there and yo are good to go.

  • How do I get Imessages?

    How do I get Imessages on my Ipod touch 4G? when I looked it up on apple's website it said that Imessages came as a built in app... but its not there? I have been unsuccessful in downloading the latest ipod software... do i need to download it to get imessages?? And if i do... I have tried downloading the software 35 times and every single time it fails at exactly half way through the download, how do i get it to download completely? I have a strong internet connection i have nothing else running on my computer at the time of the download and it still cuts out.... Please please please help me!!

    You need iOS 5 for Messages (not iMessages). It sounds like you are getting a network timeout error.  If so, disable the computer's security software during the download and update.
