How to edit phone number in contact?

I'm using Skype 5.1.0.968 on latest Mac OS and cannot figure how to edit/change/delete a phone number that I have created in the contacts list. I've tried everything I can think of!!!

Snowcreative gives a perfect description of the problem that Mac users of Skype version 5.3.x are facing. Here's some additional detail. If you type in a number to place a Skype-Out call and then wish to add that number to your Skype Addresses, you right click the number that appears in the left column and select "Show Profile". The profile appears with a button in the upper right corner that says "Add Contact". If you click that button Skype automatically creates a contact and the default action is: the contact is created and given the phone number as its name (in the top section of the profile, weird, but can be edited by a click), and in the second section of the profile the same PHONE number appears and is automatically labeled "Skype". This number CANNOT BE EDITED. THIS IS THE PROBLEM!! If I right click the word "Skype" nothing happens. If I right click the phone number the option that appears is "Copy" which is not helpful for editing. If I right click the chat icon, nothing happens. If I click on "Add Number" which appears in blue under the telephone number that has been labeled "Skype" then I can add another number. This is no help though because I already have added the number I want!! P.S. I checked my Address Book and none of the numbers that I add in Skype appear in my address book - so that is NOT the way around this. Skype grabs numbers from the address book, but does not add anything in the opposite direction. That would be a real mess!

How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages

My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number. In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number. So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them. Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
Thanks.

I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

HT2486 How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensionsmuch more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

How do you capture an answered phone number in contacts ?

How do you capture an answered phone number in contacts ?

When you look at your call history in the phone app, you see the number that you want to add, and press on the small right arrow on the right. It will show you a new page where you can simply create a new contact or add it to an existing one.

How do I add an extension to the phone number in Contacts.

I want to add phone extensions to the main phone number in contacts. How do I do it?

From what I read, using a comma to separate the main number from the extension should work. It inserts a pause, with each additional comma increasing the length of the pause. So:
4155551234,,3710484
might be long enough for the automated system to pick up and reach the point where it'll accept the extension number. If not, add more commas.
Commas will also sync to your iPhone if you have one, and work as intended.

How do you remove old phone number for contact

How can I remove a contacts old phone number? I've edited with new number but when I go to text all previous numbers for that contact still show. Can't figure out how to make old numbers go away. Any help would be appreciated

Unfortunately, at the present time the only way to delete these autocomplete suggestions is to restore your phone as new, without using your backup, and start over.

E72 - How to format the phone number on contact

I can't figure out a easy for formatting my contact number to be like (xxx) xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx on e72 instead going to outlook make the changes and re-sync again. I find xxxxxxxxxx hard to read. I thought I found out how to add hypen "ctrl+(" but that basically long dash rather than short dash which you get an error if you try to send message with the phone number having the long dash. It is fine when you call. It is smart enough to strip out non-numerical value. But it is sms is not smart enough to remove it.

The sad thing is that there is an international standard for phone numbers (+xxx) xxx-xxxx which everyone ought to recognise and use. It allows localisation and shortened dialling, but Nokia just want a number string. It's just lazy on thepart of the programmers; since it's a standard, they should have developed the program code once and just inserted it into every phone they produce, and that's not hard.
A poor reflection on Nokia, I'm sad to say.
AFAIK the international standard for telephone numbers (E.164) does not say anything about using spaces, dashes, or brackets in a telephone number.
This may of course make it more "human readable", but claiming that what you want is a standard doesn't make it a standard, and I don't think Nokia (or any other phone manufacturer) should/could implement every single user-specific wish...

Since signing up and paying for PDF conversion I have never been able to get the document I download to look anything like the original form. How do I correct this and what is a phone number to contact someone at Adobe

What I scan into my computer and what Adobe converts look nothing alike. Many discrepancies How do I correct this and what is a phone number to speak with a human being at Adobe

Does it say it will convert into an exact copy of the PDF? If it does, marketing need to fix what they say. Just converting is miracle enough for me, knowing the difficulties.
If it isn't going to satisfy you, you need to contact Adobe for a refund. Use the CHAT link in support (be sure to make the right choices, or you don't get the link).

How do I add an extension to a phone number in Contacts 7.1?

Now that the perfectly servicable Address Book has been replaced by overly complicated Contacts 7.1 in OS 10.8.3, I cannot add an extention to a telephone number. A phone number with an extention ends up looking like "4155551234ext3710484". Creating a new field named "ext" doesn't help, as any number entered into this field that is longer than 3 digits is autoformated to a phone number. Some of my contacts now have 6 digit extensions!
Contacts Help is no help whatsoever. Very frustrating.

From what I read, using a comma to separate the main number from the extension should work. It inserts a pause, with each additional comma increasing the length of the pause. So:
4155551234,,3710484
might be long enough for the automated system to pick up and reach the point where it'll accept the extension number. If not, add more commas.
Commas will also sync to your iPhone if you have one, and work as intended.
