hey there,
Have you tried to check the settings of your phone under call settings?or the least thing i think the reason why you are not capable of outgoing calls is that your in line 2. In order for you to disable it just long press the pound key which is located at the buttom right keypad of your device.let me know then if that works and lets try another options.......

Can't Call From Contact List

When I pull up anyone from my contact list, tap the number to activate a call, I get the text message window. The only way I can make a call is through the keypad. Any ideas on how to correct this?
Thanks!

Igonre calls from contact list

Does anyone know how to set where in I can ignore calls from the people on my contact list. I get the screen to ignore when people not in my contact list call, however when some one from the list calls, I do not get that option. Any set up changes. ideas ????

Well, technically you can/could. It's a feature called 'Smart Limits'. However, AT&T no longer allows you to block incoming calls due to potential 911 call-back issues. If you had the feature when it first came out you can still use it but no new subscribers are able to add the feature. It will allow toy block up to 15 specific numbers. It is currently being tested until it has all of the issues sorted out.

N73 cant call from contacts

Dear Nokia Support Community
It seems that my N73 cannot make calls from within the address book. For example, I would highlight one of my contacts, and press the green button. Under normal circumstances, this should call the contact, however, nothing happens when I do so on my phone.
This symptom occurs after the following: I call a telephone number, I let it ring once, and I hang up without them picking up. Then when I try to call within contacts, the bug appears.
The bug disappears when I restart, however, it reoccurs when I do the above.
This does not seem to be an isolated case (I have read forums where other loyal Nokia users have had the same problem), is there anyone who knows anything about this? I have the latest firmware (V 3.0638.0.0.43) yet this is still occuring.
I sent it to be repaired, but all they did was give it a hard restart with a re installation of the firmware.
Nothing seems to help. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated,

same is the problem here... i cannot call contacts on my n73 by pressing the green button nd even can't on the speaker during the conversation.......!!!!
but after restarting the phone, it works fine form a day or two, but the problem persists....
PLZ NYONE CAN SOLVE DIS PROBLEM....????

N97 unable to make a call from contacts list

Hey, I was looking for some confirmation from others about this. I tried to make a call this morning by doing exactly what I would do on my E71 or N95 when a contact has multiple numbers:
1) Opened up my contacts.
2) Clicked a contact with multiple numbers, that already had a default one set.
3) The main contact screen pops up that shows you the picture of the person and gives you 4 options of things to do.
4) Because I wanted to call one of the other phone numbers, not the default one, I clicked the tab at the top that shows you all the contact information you have for said contact.
5) I then clicked the number I wanted and then clicked the call button.
6) Nothing happened. I kept clicking it thinking it didn't register and still nothing happened.
I tried this for 6 other contacts who have multiple numbers with defaults, and I even tried it with contacts who had only one number. I'm not allowed to make a call that way. The only way to make a phone call to a contact with multiple numbers is to not have any defaults set so when I go to step (3) above, I have to click "Voice call" and then select the number I want to call.
This **bleep** me off like nothing else after I discovered this. So before I go have a pleasant conversation with someone from Nokia I just wanted to know if this is the same for everybody else.
Thanks.

I really wish consumers in the US knew about the power of the Nseries and Eseries lines, instead of living in the carrier bubble that they do.

Hi there,
Similar issue can up with MMS/SMS'ing to non-default numbers (Clicky...)
You need to use the same process, ie...
Open Contacts >> Open the contact you wish to phone >> With Voice Call selected click "options" >> "Select other number" >> then just pick the number you want to call.
Slightly easier than SMS/MMS'ing as Voice Call is at the top of the list so selected by default
Hope this helps

Nokia C7 Dialing from contact list

I'm having problem dialing from contact list and recent calls. I can only makes calls when dialing the numbers. I can receive calls. Texting works fine from contact list and recent calls, but voice call can only be done by dialing the number .Phone has to reboot everytime it happens.

Hi Remembranze,
First of all, check via Nokia Suite and on the phone itself for any firmware updates that may be available. IF there is an update, please update to the latest version offered. If there is no update, then try re-installing your current firmware via Nokia Suite. Failing this, try Restoring your phone to factory settings, and if this doesn't work, then you try performing a three finger hard reset. Failing this, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

How to send a number by SMS from contact list on 2...

Guys, I cracked my brains to solve how to send a number from contact list by SMS in 2630.
Maybe there's no such option at all?
Please help!!!
Message Edited by berzerk on 16-Dec-2008 09:24 PM

I don't think there is such an option on a limited phone like the 2630.
On phones running S60 such as the Nseries and Eseries devices (and a few others) there is an option to copy a number from the contacts into the clipboard and you can subsequently paste it into a new message. Older S40 phones like the 2630 don't have a clipboard facility to do copy/paste actions.

Removing name from contact list

There is a group to which I send a general e mail a few times a month. I have these contacts listed under a group name, so when I type in the group name under "To" all the names appear. There is one person who no longer wants to receive the group notices, and I have completely removed her name and contact information from my address book, but when I type the group name in my "To" box her name still appears. She has a "hotmail" account, as do several other members of my group. Is there anything else I can do, short of trying to remember to delete her name every time I send an e mail to this group?

When you get hold of one of those first line reps on the phone, it depends very much on just who happened to answer the call. Some of them are very good. Others not so much. The only reason I found out about the memory for the To: line is that another poster had asked about it and I contacted Plaxo about it. There was an exchange of emails and they explained how the thing works.
Do you see "Forget" to the right of the first 3 o 4 names when that list comes up? I had no idea what that was for. It is the automated sorting software that the mail program uses to determine what addresses you use most often when typing in a given letter/word combination into the To: field. It then ranks them in that order. If you want it to change you click on Forget and it should remove it from the spot in the list. At least that's what was explained to me. But when I first asked them about it they tried to tell me it was something to do with my browser, which it is not. So I sent them a screen shot of it and then they said "oh wait----yeah------that thingy", and then gave me the correct information.
They don't all know all the features of the mail program or address book.

I try to dial from contact list, but phone wants to email.

This appears to have happened by itself, but it's my wife's iPhone.
She trys to dial from her contact list, but iphone wants to email even when a phone number is touched.

Try resetting the iPhone. Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try and see if it works. Also, can you dial a phone number and the call go through?

Skype contact dissapeared from contact list

I had a problem yesterday.I video called a friend and then suddenly he dissapeared from the contact list.I logged out and logged in again and everything seemed fine.Then,i called another friend and it happened again.I uninstalled and then reinstalled and now it seems to work fine.Any idea about the problem?
PS:The contact was not removed from my contact list , it just did not appear in the list,more like a graphic (?) problem.

I'm not sure you can in the phone applications..
Under the phone book / contacts application, after opening a contact card, you would tap the top of the screen to bring up the menu buttons and select edit
I'm not sure the phone app is open source..so it would be incredibly difficult to modify this action
