Nokia C7 contact default phone number

I have a Nokia C7-00 and are using Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290. As soon as I have edited a contact with several phone numbers, one of the numbers is marked as default number. After synchronizing, there is only the default number visible for voice call. How do I get rid of the default markup for phone numbers?
I have seen suggestion to some kind of setup in the phone like "contacts / options / default nr", but I can't find something like that in my Nokia C7.

I have a similar problem with a C7-00. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in Ovi Suite 3.1.1.75
For contacts with a landline and a mobile, the following behaviour is preferred:
- Call: no default
- Message: default to mobile
This is preferred because usually you want a choice of where to call, but only ever SMS mobiles. You'd think Nokia would realise this and make it the default for every contact.
Anyway, I manually set this up for some contacts (on the C7). After synchronisation, Ovi Suite sets the "default" number in its database to be the mobile (it was selected as "default" for messages--not calls).
When the phone is next synchronised with Ovi Suite, the default number is copied across to the phone. This overwrites the previous defaults and results in the following:
- Call: default to mobile
- Message: no default
Which of course is really annoying, as it is the opposite to what you would want.

  • 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.

  • E71 how to search contact by phone number

    Hi All,
    any idea for E71 how to search contact by phone number? sometimes it will be useful if  i can just type in the phone number and it show me the contact name
    Thanks

    There is no way to do that directly from Home Screen, however you can always get in the "Search: Internet and My Content" application, choose contacts and start to type phone number. You will get what you want.
    Enjoy!

  • Set default Phone Number

    Please advise if its is possible to set a default phone number for a contact with multiple contact numbers

    I'm going to clarify this situation by explaining the problem experienced and outlining a possible missing feature which may be missing for the right reasons.
    1. When you click on a contact from the CONTACTS tab, you are presented with the 'Info' page for that person so that you can Call, Text, Share or Add them to favorites.
    2. When you click on the 'left' part of a contact from the RECENTS page, it will call them back on the number that they rang you from for that perticular call.
    However, if you want to call them back on another number, you click on the 'right' part of their contact from the RECENTS page where you are taken to their 'Info' page.
    3. FAVORITES, i found this very confusing at first. You need to understand that this is just a link to 1 number type of that contact (e.g. iPhone, work, etc) and not to the entire contact. If you link it to 'iPhone' and change their 'iPhone' number, it will change. But if you add a new number for them, e.g. 'home' and then delete 'iPhone' it will not update. You need to change your favorites if it no longer represents their main number.
    You could consider a main defaul number, so that when it comes to returning calls, it regards the number they rang from and will call your chosen main number for them but this will only complicate things for most people, and this is just as easily resolved by just clicking on the 'right' part of the recents tab where you can select a number to call them from.
    I hope this clarifys things.

  • How do you set a contact's default phone number

    I have contacts that have multiple numbers.  I would like to such one from mobile to iphone and was wondering how it is done.

    I think you mean "switch" instead of "such" - you're trying to have the phone number show up as an iPhone in contacts instead of a mobile phone.
    If so, open the contact, click "Edit" in the upper right, click "mobile" and change it to "iPhone".

  • Iphone contact's phone number not synced with Outlook

    Hi,
    I have a contact with 4 phone numbers. That contact syncs with outlook in most cases (e. g. a change in a "note" is transfered both ways correctly).
    But: The "private" phone number never shows up in Outlook.
    I already reset the sync history.
    Any other ideas are warmly appreciated!
    Ulrich
    PS. Itunes syncs with Outlook 2007

    Well, I fixed it myself. In Outlook, I checked each appointment for a bad reminder time. My default time is 30 minutes. ONE entry showed 0 minutes. I changed it to 30, synced, and lo and behold, I have my calendar back! I can't believe that is all it took.

  • Searching contacts by phone number

    When I search my contacts list by phone number (and when I use the general search feature), I get zero results returned even when I enter a number that I know is in my contacts list. For example, say my dad's phone number is 202-555-1212. If I enter the full number, or any part of the number, his contact information doesn't show up. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

    Phone numbers are not searchable on the iPhone.

  • "add to contacts" from phone number link doesn't work, iOS 8.1

    When you click on a phone number, e.g. in a Facebook messenger chat, you get the option to call the number or "add to contacts". If you click "add to contacts", the contact screen appears for a moment and closes again. I have tried a few times but it's not possible to use this feature. Seems to be a bug.
    iOS 8.1, iPhone 4S

    Hey Kalii, I also have the same problem here. I'm in Hong-Kong with 3 network and iOs 8.1.1
    Was working all fine when I bought the Iphone 6 about 2 weeks ago. Go to Thailand over the weekend and when I get back impossible to reconnect to the network.
    Tried to force restart, tried to loose wifi and reconnect, tried to restore network and tried the airplane mode on-off..... nothing works!
    Not sure if changing the sim will do anything, I'm sure it's the Iphone 6 antenna or software itself that got a problem!

  • Set default phone number in address book

    Most clients have multiple numbers. When I am driving and say to Siri "Call Linda Johnson" I would like to have a default number chosen. IPhone does not offer a default option.
    If I make the first number in my contact's listing the "default" can Siri be set to use that number? Or if I call it "iPhone" will that make a number a default?  I have far too many numbers to use "favorites" and they may not be accessible by Siri." My car selects numbers from my phone but when I tell it to call it does not always take the first number from the list.
    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. help or Ideas?

    This is not a developer question and would be better posted in the Using iPhone forum.
    However, that being said, why not set a few of your contacts as you suggest and see if Siri uses that number when you tell her to call that contact?

  • Can I change the default phone number format?

    I a new BB user and have so much to learn!  I got a Storm (bad choice) 6 weeks ago and thought BBs were ridiculous.  Then I got the Tour and am pobably converted for life.
    In my contacts, most of my phone numbers show up as 4395551234 which is hard to read.  I have some others that show (439) 555-1234.  I have added dashes to some numbers to make them easier to see.  Is there anyway to change the option so numbers are automatically displayed in a certain format?  And why would some be different than others? I can't figure out a reason some are changed.  
    BTW, I am a devoted Mac user and love the new Desktop Software.

    It is one of the great mysteries of BBdom why users must look at a long string of 10 digits on an incoming call notification instead of having them broken down into more readable form.  Truly bizarre.
