Multiple Text Number fields in contacts app

When entering multiple phone numbers for a contact (Work, Mobile, Home), the system automaticall generates 3 additional Text enteries for each phone number entered .... if work and home are land line .. might not be able to send txt messages to these ... gives us option to delete or only generate if its a mobile number .... no need to have extra entries of no use for them...
Anybody have a solution????

Hi Toby
I think the layout of the contacts list is allowing for a home and/or work number to be either a mobile or a land line (which is sometimes the case these days). I believe you're presented with this choice when texting in order to allow you to differentiate between the number you want to either text or dial.
Myself, if I can't tell the difference between the three numbers of a little used Contact I will ascribe a new (slightly varied) Contact entry for them which denotes the difference (for instance:  TonyOffice, TonyTruck, Tony-America etc..)
Searching for Tony wil bring all of these up
As for the fields themselves, I see no way to change how they are presented.

  • Note Field in Contact App

    Characters often not showing when I type them
    But if i mouse click anywhere in the note area the text appears
    It's just the note area that is a problem
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I already use Evernote, what I'm looking for is an app that doesn't require a network connection to sync - one that syncs in the same way as the Notes and Contacts apps that come with the iPhone OS.

  • Multiple address number fields on a table

    Hi.  I have a Z table which had an address field ADRNR data element AD_ADDRNUM.  When maintaining the table via SM30, there is a function button "Address" to maintain this field.  I have just added a second address field ZCRED_ADRNR data element AD_ADDRNUM.  Now every time I try to maintain these addresses via the function button in SM30, I get a message "Address for object ... not found.  Do you want to create a new address?"  If I choose to create a new address, the address number in ADRNR is changed (eg from 0700264579 to 0700264580) and the address number in ZCRED_ADRNR appears as @NEW000000 - even though I only got one "Edit Address" popup.  If I look on table ADRC there is a record for the old address from field ADRNR (0700264579) is there, plus the new one (0700264580) but there is no record for ZCRED_ADRNR (@NEW000000).
    Could anybody tell me what I've done wrong?

    Looks like somebody created some sort of check in your table maintenance via the predefined events for table maintenance. So try to find out in which event this check is triggered and why.

  • Multiple Text Boxes Populating a Single Field

    I need to create several select lists in a form that can each populate the same field in a table, but obviously need for the select lists in the form to be mutually exclusive so that the user can only enter data into one of them.
    There is also a field on the form displayed as a radiogroup, and I would like for the user's selection on this radiogroup to dictate which one of these multiple select lists they use to enter this data.
    Before I do any of this, however, I guess my first question is, how do I create multiple text entry fields on a form for just a single field in the table?

    hi brice--
    if you're coding your form page manually, you'd simply add your extra fields to your page definition and conditionally diplay and use the values you needed. i'm guessing you're asking about wizard generated forms.
    you can associate multiple fields with a single database column on your form by simply adding the extra ones you need and conditionally displaying/processing the ones you need. your other questions sound like javascript ones to me. if it were me, i'd take a look at our javascript how-to document at...
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/htmldb_javascript_howto2.html
    ...and find the specific javascript i needed from google.
    hope this helps,

  • Entering phone numbers with an extention in the contacts app?

    How to enter a phone number in the contacts app phone number section so that it will automaticly dial the extention or pause and then dial the extention?  i.e. (123) 123-4567 ext890
    Can this even be done?
    Thank You.

    When you manually dial on a land line or with other cell phones, does it matter if you omit the "(0)"?  Is it in EVERY number?  What happens if you manually dial the iPhone with the (0)? 
    I don't know the official "standard" dialing format where you are, but what was programed into the iOS doesn't appear to require those characters, and the phone can't recognize numbers with them as telephone numbers.
    In the US, land line carriers usually require a "1" added to the beginning of a long distance call to go through.  Most cell carriers don't need the 1, but the call goes through with or without it.

  • Regarding iMessage, when i want to send text to a person in my contacts app, i've been getting a message saying the number has not been registered with iMessage.  How can one fix this problem?

    Regarding iMessage, when i want to send text to a person in my contacts app, i've been getting a message saying the number has not been registered with iMessage.  How can one fix this problem?  It works on the iPhone.

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

    When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • Second phone number for a contact wont appear as an option for text messaging on iPhone 4/IOS6

    My iPhone 4 (IOS6) is a work phone and my number is blocked (I have to call a lot of people while out of the office who I don't want to have my cell number). Since I want my friends to know it is me when I call I save their phone number in my contact list with *82 in front of their number. However, I learned that text messaging doesn't seem to work with *82 in front of the number so I also have each contact saved as a second number without the *82 at the beginning for texting only. After "upgrading" to IOS6 I have found that my texting number won't show up when I type the contact name into the address bar in the text message app, just the *82 number that won't work. It used to list all numbers associated with that contact. I know I could just send them a message from the contact card one time and then just open the thread in the messaging app every time after that, but since I am often driving when I am out of the office I use Dragon dictation to compose my texts and then only have to type the contact name into the address line each time instead of typing an entire message. Long story short, I really need it to list all numbers for each contact and not only the one they randomly decide I might want. I have also checked my contacts and ensured that the non-*82 number is listed first in the contact card, that didn't change anything.

    There is an option in the Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Of course this means that your screen layout will be reset but maybe this will 'bump' those hidden apps out of the 'invisible 5th row'. It's worth a try I guess. Did you check to make sure the apps weren't pushed to like the very last screen instead?

  • Searching in Contacts app doesn't search all fields

    Specifically, I find that the Contacts app on the iPad won't search the notes field (or the phone number or email fields for that matter).
    Question: Is there a setting to enable this or a solution to cause the Contacts app search mechanism to include fields other than names?
    It seems reasonable to desire search results to include notes you've made on the contact, phone numbers, emails etc. Often I find myself trying to find a contact based on a note or other info without remembering their name.

    Interesting. Just tried this on my iPhone, and it is doing the same thing. So, not an iPad issue, an OS issue? I am betting there is not a way to enable this in the Apple supplied Contacts, there may be some other third paty app that maybe does this.
    I really need to keep those Feedback links handy for easy pasting... Can someone post that link? Thanks!

  • Web app Number field: How to format a number as currency in Business catalyst

    Not a coder. I have a Number field I have created in my web app, please how can I format this field to display the figures like this 999,999,999,999 (#120,000,000) random figure. Help will be appreciated.

    You can't. Number type field is there for storing integers. 999,999,999,999
    is not an integer. You need to use text string. Unless you're using the
    field inside the search form, in which case you need to use JavaScript to
    format the content of the field on the frontend.

  • Multiple text fields in Print Module

    Allow multiple text fields in Print Module with flexible editing.

    I'm with you on this. LR 3 has come along way on the print module but placing text anywhere on the page at any angle using any system font would go long way in making a great looking album page. If you are in the senior market you could add the customers name to a wallet sized image.

  • Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

    Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
    TextField1.rawValue
    After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
    DropDownList1.clearItems()
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
    And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
    DropDownList3.clearItems()
    DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
    DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
    Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.
