Multiple contacts with same phone number

I have multiple contacts with the same phone number.  Skype will not permit the creation of a second contact with the same phone number.

I have the same problem with my contacts.
I have one external phone number and then use extensions for their desks. I want to embed the extension number in the contact name and use the common phone number. 
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks

  • Multiple contacts with same number?

    Hello,
    I have multiple contacts in my address book with the same number, for instance "Mom" or "Grandma" or "Mrs. Smith."  Is there a way to ensure that my iPhone 4 chooses the assigned photo and name to each contact? 
    I have all three under "All Contacts" but also have only one under a sub-group that is my primary contact group.  Perhaps my problem is syncing via MobileMe? Doing that means I have All Contacts as well as my sub-group on the iPhone; that may be confusing it?
    Thanks for any help!

    If you have multiple contacts have the same number the iPhone makes a random choice. There is no way to force one over another.

  • N73phonebook contacts with same mobile number

    N73 is great phone so far but I have a problem.
    I have two different contacts who have the same number, just different three pre-numbers. For instance: Ben has number 031 123456 and Anna has 041 123456. So when Anna calls I can see her name that she is calling. But when Ben calls I don't see his name but only number. Anna was saved in phonebook first and Ben second. Why is that? Why N73 does not recognize between 031 and 041?
    If anybody knows this, please help me.
    Thanks

    The following note (courtesy of patc) might be useful as I think the problem you have with the second contact may not be related to the first contact at all.
    The most common causes of caller ID problems are:
    - duplicate entries in your contacts - you appear to have checked this, however I wonder if your check included searching for the same number in different formats? Try searching for a PART of the number as if for example you search for +44 123 456 7890, it won't find +441234567890, whereas if you search for 7890 it would.
    Having different formats is a problem for caller ID.
    - using your international dial code instead of "+", eg: using 00441234567890 (wrong) instead or +441234567890 (right).
    - spaces in numbers (some phones, some firware versions only), eg: +44 123 456 7890 (wrong) instead or +441234567890 (right).
    - MS Outlook putting "(0)" in number - if you define a country for a contact in MS Outlook it will automatically add a country code and insert a "(0)" in the number, eg: +441234567890 becomes +44 (0) 1234567890. You need to remove the "(0)"s
    - there has been one report of 9 and 10 digit numbers causing problems, one doesn't work with SMS the other with phone calls. I forget which way around it was ..

  • Can i have multiple iphones with the same phone number?

    If I upgrade to iPhone6 can I: a) keep my 4s operational with the same phone number; or b) must I get a new number for one of the two?

    I don't believe your cellular provider will provision 2 SIM cards with the same number. You can forward calls, if your carrier supports it, from one phone to the other depending on which one you have with you.

  • 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID. Just got iPad mini, want to use iMessage with my phone number, but iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to default to other number?

    Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

  • TS2755 Why do some of the imessages go in green, and some go in blue, when sending to the same phone number? Does it have anything to do with the cellular carrier?

    Can someone please tell me why when you are sending a message to the same phone number, and they also have a I-phone, that some of the messages go in blue and you can see that it has been delivered and read, and some messages go in green and you can't see if they got the messageor if they have read the message?

    SMS messages are shown in green, iMessages in blue. If the recipient is an iPhone user but doesn't have a data (WiFi or cellular) connection and you have Settings>Messages>Send as SMS enabled, that person will get your messages as SMSs until they have a data connection again.
    iMessages have delivered notification (and read notification if the recipient has that feature enabled). SMS does not.
    Best of luck.

  • How to set a contact's default phone number for Siri to call

    Currently using iOS 8.2:
    I really enjoy using Siri to make hands-free phone calls e.g. "Call Mom."  However, many of my contacts have multiple numbers. For most of my contacts, simply saying "Call Mom" will jump me straight into a phone call to their iPhone or cell phone number; but for a few of my contacts, I'll say "Call my wife" and Siri will reply with: "which phone number should I dial: iPhone, home, work?"  I have tried re-arranging and relabeling numbers in Contacts and I've tried adding specific numbers to my "Favorites" section in the Phone app, but no dice.
    Any help or ideas? There are many postings on this subject dating to 2009 indicating customer preference for a default option. Either it is too difficult for Apple to accomplish or there is some solution which I haven't learned.
    Set default phone number in address book

    Say "call my wife home number."

  • TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this?  i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

    How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory?  I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

    You would have to restore as new.

  • CS4 & CS5 Indy with same serial number

    Can CS4 & CS5 Indy with same serial number both be open on the same machine?
    Thanks!

    I'm wondering how you have two versions with the same serial number? Volume license maybe?
    In the world of single licenses an upgrade from CS4 to CS5 would get a new new number, at least in my experience. As far as installing multiple versions (but not differnt localizations, like US and ME, of the same version) no problem, and I often have multiple versions open at the same time for testing and answereing questions here on the forum.

  • Multiple accounts with same email

    I have multiple accounts with same email
    The one that has all my contacts is the one attached to FB but for some odd reason I can no longer access this specific account
    When I try to reset my password, it only keeps asking me to change my FB password
    Once I try logging in on Skype, it keeps asking my FB to connect to the other 2 Skype accounts, completely diffente usernames
    I am only interested in the one that originally connected to my FB as it has all my contacts
    As my other 2 accounts are my old Skype accounts and have my old contacts from years ago

    Actually this morning I was able to log on the account from an iPad with no fuss but the pc refuses to sign in^^^!???! "Skype couldn't connect" - What is going on???
    I also found out that I could sign in via a browser but not via skype program... So I uninstalled it and installed it again and it's working now...
    I have now changed the email so I don't have 3 accounts with the same primary email as Skype seems to not being able to handle multiple accounts with same email!!!

  • My iMessage will not activate with my phone number when I recieved a new apple ID.

    I made a new apple ID because my old one would not let me download any new apps from the app store.
    Everything works great with my new appleID EXCEPT it will not let me use imessage with my phone number.
    I have tried network resets, turning on/off the restrictions, everything.
    Plus... if and when i get iMessage to verify with my phone number.. How do I connect my Macbook, iPad, and iPhone to all sync with my NEW apple ID and get my iMessage working on all three of them with my phone number?

  • How do I fix my iMessage to work with my phone number?

    Two days ago, my iMessage randomly decided to stop working. I am abroad in Asia right now so I have been using iMessage to keep in touch with friends and family at home (US) when I am connected through wifi.
    My issue is that under the "Send and Recieve" in the iMessage settings, my phone number is not listed. Originally, it was greyed out and not selected but after going to an Apple store here and rebooting the settings, the phone number disappeared all together. I have turned off/on wifi, airplane mode, imessage, facetime, date/time, etc. I know the Apple ID is registered with my phone number because when I choose to sign out of my Apple ID and the sign back in under the iMessage settings, my phone number and email are selected to be used. But when I click Next, only my email is shown.
    I will be abroad at least a few more weeks and would really like for it to work here again. I'm afraid it won't work when I'm back in the US as well. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Correct, my cellular data is currently off. I don't think this will solve my problem because I was able to use iMessage before without my data and only on wifi. If nothing else works, I will try this. But I would like to try to find a solution that doesn't require me using data.

  • How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone?

    How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone? Thanks in advance.

    What do you mean share? 
    It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this.  Bump is one such app.
    There is no functionality in iOS to do this.  iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

  • Vendor Invoice with Same Reference Number in two fiscal years.

    Vendor Invoice entered in SAP.
    DocumentNum 1600000612  Reference "47026723WA" Vendor Number "637278" Year "2008"
    DocumentNum 1600000667  Reference "47026723WA" Vendor Number "637278" Year "2009"
    We are thinking SAP will not allow/generate invoice with same Reference number. How can we restrict from entering Vendor invoices with Same Reference Number from same Vendor.
