HT1688 2 ios6 contacts with 2 mobile numbers.

Have personal and business iPhone as does my better half. When we send an iMessage it just says the contact name no matter which mobile number you select so after a few messages you have no clue which you used. Can type the phone number but it will auto correct back to the contact name.
Any way to get the iPhone to show which number or append the mobile1, mobile2, work mobile or whatever identifier is shown on the contact details? Anything at all is better than two threads with same contact name. Ha.

Work around:
In Contact app,
First:  Full name here
Last: Work (something else for the second iPhone)

  • Contacts with multiple numbers under the same labe...

    i
    I have many contacts which have numbers saved under the same label.
    For example a contact like this:
    First name: A
    Mobile: 11
    Mobile: 22
    Telephone: 33
    Telephone: 44
    When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows:
    A
    Mobile: 11
    Telephone: 44
    Mobile (other): 22
    As you see it deleted one of "Telephone" labeled numbers. It also happened when I used PC suite.
    It is really annoying as if I save/sync the contact using Ovi, it causes loss of contacts data.
    BTW there is no problem using Backup/Restore function of Ovi/PC suite, nor "Copy to memory card" function of the phone itself.
    Ovi suit version : 2.1.1.1
    Nokia E51 v300.34.56
    Windows 7
    PS:
    tested another one with 6 different numbers under the same "Mobile" label
    the result in Ovi is:
    AA
    Mobile: 11
    Mobile (main): 33
    Mobile (other): 22
    the other 3 numbers were lost

    Ah, you have an interesting setup here.
    Could you answer a few clarifying questions regarding this.
    > When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows
    * Did you perform a sync? Or did you just connect the phone and look at the contact card in the phone view?
    I had performed sync before and realized that some contact data are missing in my phone, so I started investigating to see exactly which contacts are affected by creating some dummy contacts and editing them by clicking on my phones icon below the window of "Contacts" tab in ovi.
    * Did you check the contact in your phone (using the phone's UI)? Were all the details there - or are you saying that Ovi Suite lost some of the details?
    In fact both. Ovi fails to extract and show some numbers and thus fails to write them back to the phone correctly. The lost details are purged from the phone too.
    Just to confirm I've understood the scenario correctly
    1) you have contact card in phone with two mobile numbers  (same label) and two telephone numbers (same label)
    yep
    2) you sync with Ovi suite
    Either Sync or directly open and save contact.
    3) the mobile numbers have been re-labled  to Mobile and Mobile (other) but the numbers are preserved
    They are re-labled only when viewed in Ovi, but  written back to the phone with the same "Mobile" lable as created on the phone.
    4) one of the Telephone numbers is completely lost from Ovi Suite and phone.
    And this scenario happened with this setup:
    - Ovi suite version : 2.1.1.1
    - Nokia E51 v300.34.56
    - Windows 7
    I just want to be clear on the setup and scenario so we can investigate.
    thanks, Aki
    I also done another test
    This is the contact created in phone:
    BEGIN:VCARD
    VERSION:2.1
    N:;A
    TEL;CELL:11
    TEL;CELL:22
    TEL;CELL:33
    TEL;CELL:44
    TEL;CELL:55
    TEL;CELL:66
    TEL;VOICE:11
    TEL;VOICE:22
    TEL;VOICE:33
    TEL;VOICE;HOME:11
    TEL;VOICE;HOME:22
    TEL;VOICE;HOME:33
    TEL;VOICE;WORK:11
    TEL;VOICE;WORK:22
    TEL;VOICE;WORK:33
    X-CLASSrivate
    END:VCARD
    And this is what happens to contact when I just click edit and then save in Ovi.
    BEGIN:VCARD
    VERSION:2.1
    N:;A
    TEL;CELL;PREF:11
    TEL;CELL:33
    TEL;VOICE:33
    TEL;VOICE;HOME:33
    TEL;VOICE;WORK:33
    END:VCARD

  • Identifying which number a message is sent to for contacts with multiple numbers

    Hi there,
    Like many, I have a lot of contacts that have 2 or more mobile numbers stored against their name.
    I sent a message to a contact who has 3 numbers. A couple of days later I wanted to check to see to which number I sent the message but I couldn't see any way to display this from the message. The only information given is the contact name of the person I sent the message to, not the number.
    Surely there must be a way to do this by tapping on some part of the message. I tapped the message and got options "Copy/More" and "More" gives me the option to bin or forward. Tapping on Contact, gives me the contact name and phone/FT/info icons and tapping on the "i" icon displays the full contact details with the 3 numbers!
    The only way I got round this to find out which number it was, was to split the contact in to 3 different contacts as in Name 1, Name 2, and Name 3.This then allowed me to see the number because the message list updated depending on the number that was used. So really, the number is definitely there somewhere, but how to get it!
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Thanks,
    Maz

    Hey Maz K,
    Thanks for the question. This can be done by viewing the contact info in Messages. Simply tap “Contact” in the top right corner, then tap the icon. This will bring up the contact card, and the number the message was sent to will be highlighted in blue.
    View someone’s contact info in Messages.
    To quickly view someone's contact info in Messages, tap Contact.
    - Tap to call that person or to use FaceTime
    - Tap to see the person’s complete contact info
    If they're not already a contact, you can tap Create New Contact to add them.

  • TS3398 I have lost my contacts that were entered into my iphone in addition to those that are synced from my exchange account. Iphone is only showing email addresses, no contacts with phone numbers.

    Two days ago my phone locked up and when I could access again, my contact list was only a few names and email addresses.  ALL phone numbers wiped from the phone.  I have been using google sync for three years to sync contact and calendar to gmail and then sync gmail to iphone, and it has been seemless.  I would think this was the problem, however the contacts and phone numbers that were added directly the phone are no longer on the phone either....which point to a phone problem.
    I went home, to update but ended up having to "restore" from backup, which I did.  The contacts were visible for less than 24 hours, but then disappeared again the next day.  I have tried forums for google sync as that would solve a large amount of the contacts, but I still can't seem to find a solution for the other contacts added directly to the phone.
    are there any new glitches/issues with the iOS 6 that cause this problem?
    phone is 3GS.
    thanks.

    Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
    Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
    I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
    Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

  • Looking for BPC user contacts with large numbers of dimension members

    I would like to make contact with other BPC users that have multiple dimensions with dimension members in excess of 10K.
    Thanks,

    Hi Helene,
    With 3,000 members you should not be experiencing these problems, if your report is designed properly.
    I'm running BPC 5.1 SP8 on SQL 2005, with a dimension containing 22,000 members. Client PC's are typical (XP, Excel 2007, 1 or 2 gig RAM).
    Using EVDRE and this dimension expanding on the rows, most reports & input schedules can expand & refresh in the range of 10 to 30 seconds.
    The faster times are when I use a row expansion memberset using dimension properties, such as Active="X". The slower times are when the memberset is hierarchy-based, such as BAS.
    If you're using a dynamic template (one using EVEXP for the expansion) then you should start over using EVDRE. It will be much faster, particularly if you optimize your row expansion.
    It's often a good idea to add dimension properties specifically for the purpose of optimizing the report expansion, if the dimension has thousands of members. I sometimes go as far as to add properties which mimic the hierarchy (MyLevel2, MyLevel3, etc) just for this purpose.

  • Are phone contacts with phone numbers automatically backed up

    Are phone contacts including phone numbers automatically backed up in icloud?

    Yes, but restoring them from a backup can be difficult and isn't officially supported by Apple.  To make sure you have them backed up, use an app like My Contacts Backup on your phone to back them up as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself an save the attachment.  If you ever need to restore them you can email the attachment back to your phone and tap the attachment to restore them to your phone.

  • Bug? N85-contacts with multiple numbers not indexe...

    on my n85, if i have a contact A w/ multiple numbers: mobile:123, work: 456, etc, only one of those numbers will show up when i search for contact A. also, that number is the only one searchable as well, so if '123' showed up when i searched for 'A', and then i searched for '456, my N85 wouldn't return any values..

  • Does Outlook also backup all contacts with just phone numbers?

    Obviously not every contact is going to have an email, but for some reason in outlook I can only pull up the ones with emails.
    Doesnt outlook also backup the contacts with just numbers, address etc?

    Maybe that is the case? How can I tell if I'm only syncing the address book?
    What is available with your Outlook address book? Does your Outlook address book have a group that includes email addresses only for the contacts you've placed in the group?
    What is available and what do you have selected below Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    I didnt do anything special, whatever was default may still be in place?
    There is no setting that provides for this - not on the iPhone, and not under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    But how can I backup/sync ALL contacts from my iphone to outlook or something else?
    Contacts on your iPhone are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process. There is no other backup function available for iPhone contacts.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • When looking at recent calls on my iPhone running iOS 7, how can I tell which number called me when a contact has multiple numbers listed?

    I have an iPhone 5s and I am coming from an Android phone. On the Android phone, when looking at recent calls both the contact name and the number is displayed. On my iPhone I only see the contact name, in the case of contacts with multiple numbers attached how do I see which number the call came from?

    Click the "i" in the circle to the right of the contact name.
    The phone number the call came from is listed in blue.

  • IMessage issues on contacts associated with two different mobile numbers

    Hello together,
    currently i am facing the following issue:
    I have a contact "Max Mustermann" associated with to different mobile numbers. Number 1 is a number belonging to his business mobile phone which is an iPhone. Number 2 belongs to his private Android device.
    Since I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my iPhones sends every message (new message, answers) to the iPhone, regadless if he sends me a text message from his Android device.  During my throubleshooting I tried to delete his business number from contacts, deleted every mail adress associated with his contact, recreate the contact with the same name and just the private number. As for now I completely deleted his contact on my iPhone and tried to send the text message directly to the mobile number of his Android device. But still the same: Message is send as iMessage to his business mobile phone...
    Anybody faced this issue before and can me help with his?
    Regards,
    Tim

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • Contacts with multiple mobile numbers

    Hello all,
    This is my first post here, so please be patient with me.  I searched through previous threads, but did not find an sufficient answer to the problem I am having.  To set the stage, I will give you what I am working with
    g-mail account with close to 500 contacts
    iPhone 5, latest version 6.1.3
    MacBook Air, latest version 10.8.3
    I have my g-mail account linked to my iPhone as an Exchange connection so that I can view the contacts.  I have my computer contacts program connected with Google as well.  The problem I am having is that most of these 500 contacts have multiple mobile phone numbers.  I am able to create this contact easily in g-mail and can relabel the phone types to match what they are.  Let's say for instance:
    Name:  John Smith
    Home: 111-111-1111
    Mobile:  222-222-2222
    Mobile:333-333-3333
    etc.
    I have done quite a bit of testing and found that the computer contacts matches up perfectly with whatever I put in there, including multiple mobile numbers.  My iPhone on the other hand, does not show the second Mobile number.  It will recognize multiple home, work, and pager numbers, but not multiple mobiles (it only shows the first one on the list).  Why would it allow multiple numbers of the other types and not mobile numbers?
    Is there something I am doing incorrectly, or has Apple overlooked a simple, important function?  The things I do not want to do are:
    create custom phone labels for my contacts as in mobile1, mobile2 - there are too many and this is an inefficient solution.
    change all of the cell numbers to be work numbers - same as above, and what if someone else is updating g-mail contacts and does not follow the rule?
    unlink the Google tie I have on the computer - this seems to be the only one of the two that works, and I do not want to have to constantly remember to download an updated contact list.  The list changes constantly, and I know I would eventually forget ( I am looking for a poka-yoke here).
    Any ideas about solutions?
    Thank you for the help

    I have no prblem syncing multiple mobile numbers so I don't think it's a universal issue with iOS. The only difference I see is I am using CardDav instead of using the Exchange option. Have you tried it that way? You can urn off contacts in the Exchange account and add the CardDav account separately.

  • Iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook

    as title says: iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook.
    when i have a contact in iphone and i add more mobile numbers than just one, they do not pass through to outlook 2007. i realize this is because there is no room in outlook for more than 2 (if i remember correct) mobile numbers,but is there a workaround?

    I've got the same problem but with a "4 number" limit. Many of my outlook contacts have more than 4 numbers associated with them but the iPhone contacts app only shows/syncs 4 numbers. Any way to increase this limit on the iphone?

  • TS4079 Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new numb

    Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new number.Help
    I`ve tried restarting, rebooting, nothing works.
    The interesting thing is that SIRI can call to previous mobile numbers (without the new digit) obviously not connecting , and, can call to any other numbers as an office or home number. So the problem is the new digit in the mobile number

    Ecuador has added an extra digit to mobile phone numbers but apple wont accept 10 digit phone numbers so we cant use facetime or apple IM or verify our new phone numbers. ( and Siri won't work either!) I have contacted apple support online but can't request a call back as the apple system says our new phone numbers are invalid. I am going to phone them tomorrow and you should complain too at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.  . The more people that bring this to their attention the faster it will get fixed

  • Help with multiple contacts with multiple phone numbers

    I'm fairly new to the iPhone so thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
    I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
    At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number.  Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number. 
    I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens),  the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know  who & where their calling from.  It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time,  but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
    This is a real pain!, having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time.  My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone.  Am I missing something here?  I am new to the iPhone so if there’s a solution to this that I’ve missed I'd very much appreciate the assistance.
    Thanks in advance.
