'other' phone numbers not synchronised from outloo...

when synchronising contacts in outlook, phone numbers that appear under the category 'others' as oppose to business, or mobile are not synchronised. they show up in outlook, but not on the phone!
is it possible to either:
a) synchronise these
b) automaticaly change the number type to another,
c) solve this problem in another way?
the contacts were all synchronised from an earlier phone, where they show up as normal....

I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
(Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
Hope i helped someone
1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

  • Outlook contact "other" phone numbers not syncing.

    It seems when I have multiple phone numbers in an Outlook contact other than work, home, mobile, and other; these phone numbers aren't syncing to the iphone.  These are numbers that, in Outlook, you have to click on the field to select and see the other number. 
    For instance, say I have a contact with a work, home, mobile, and other phone number.  In Outlook, I want to add a Home 2 phone number.  So I click next to the home field in Outlook and select "Home 2" and then enter a number.  Now I have both numbers stored in Outlook, Home and Home 2, albiet I have to toggle between the two to see them.
    These are Exchange activesync accounts and I have replicated this with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010.  Outlook 2010 is the other side of the equation. 
    Home 2 doesn't come over to the iPhone. And it not just "Home 2", that was used as an example.  It's essentially, it seems, any numbers that you add beyond the four fields available in the Outlook contact.  I would really be surprised if it wasn't capable of syncing this.  Am I missing something?  Anyone else having the issue or successfully dealing with it?  TIA.

  • Phone numbers not recognised (sms & incoming)

    After a momunmental mobile me sync disaster (it somehow trippled every contact), I had to wipe mobile me (and subsequently all conatcs on my phone) and restore it from a back up. Activating one device at a time and replacing info on device with new data on mobile me.
    When I did this with the iPhone, the contacts were restored, but all messages recieved from my contacts appear as phone numbers not names, so I have no idea who sent them. Also, half of incoming calls have the same problem, not using contact info - just the number. Have backed up & resotred my phone (from said backup) and issue continues.
    Any idaes on how to resolve?

    I already have most recent update 4.3.3

  • Can I send photos to other phone numbers? or take video??

    I'm not sure if this just isn't capable, or I just cant figure it out?? Help? Thank you. I don't know how to take videos, or send photos to other phone numbers, or forward text messages...??

    The iPhone does not include a video recorder, and does not support forwarding SMS - at the present time anyway.
    The iPhone also does not include an MMS client, but you can do the same via email.
    Ask the sender of an MMS to address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with the iPhone's mail client. The sender of the MMS will enter your email address in the To: field for the MMS instead of your cell phone number with area code. The MMS will be received by you as an email with the photo as an email attachment. If you also access the email account with an email client on your computer, you will have access to the received message and photo attachment on your computer - and the same if you access the email account via webmail using a browser.
    This will give you the sender's cell phone MMS email address - included in the From field for the received message. Add this email address to the contact's info in your iPhone's address book. Select a photo to be sent as an email and when addressing the email to this email address, the email with the photo attached will be received by the recipient as an MMS on their cell phone.

  • Spaces in contact numbers when syncing from outloo...

    When entering numbers in Outlook in international format and syncing with S60 phones you get spaces in the numbers which prevents the phone recognising callers.
    Does anyone know how to prevent outlook from adding the spaces or getting the mail for exchange synchronisation to remove them.
    Or does anyone have another solution to allow the phone to recognise callers whilst synchronising with outlook/exchange?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for your help.
    I have just resolved the problem by setting my phone and modem options in control panel so my location is incorrect.
    Outlook adds a space in numbers for your own country.
    i.e. for the uk which has the country code 44
    You get:
    +44 1234567899
    For all other countries no space in inserted.
    +311234567890
    Every other phone I have had ignores spaces in the number but with my E61 I have to set my pc to the incorrect local.
    Problem solved.
    Hopefully Nokia will fix or at least not repeat this bug in phones. Anyone know where you can log issues with Nokia? I don;t need them to fix this now but as a programmer I know that without customer feedback it's hard to test and discover bugs like this.
    Thanks for you help.

  • Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

    I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging.  Is ther a way to prevent that from happening? 

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • Phone numbers not appearing correctly in Messages

    I love the new feature that allows you to reply to anyone in Messages, not just users with iOS devices. 
    However it doesn't seem to be bringing up my saved contacts correctly.  On my iPhone I will receive the message with their name as it is saved in my contacts, where as on my Mac it comes up as just their number.  One year ago I moved from the UK to the US, and although I bought my Mac in the US, when I go to reply to the number on my Mac, it is adding +44 in front of it, so obviously these messages are not going through (or if they are they're going to the wrong person!)
    Is there a way around this?  To set my Messages up to be default to +1, so therefore the numbers come up correctly as they do on my iPhone??
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Names, addresses and phone numbers have dissappeared from my list, favorites and tx mess

    Suddenly I went to favorites and realize most of my phones have no names only phone numbers.  I went to all contacts and they are not there. I lost names addresses and all info.  I need to know if is still there? in the memory? or I need to do it all over again.

    Try importing your contact list from Verizon Backup Assist.
    If you do not have that, then upload them from your saved contacts in your computer.
    If you do not have that, then try to restore your backed up phone data from a previous backup on itunes.
    If you still have none of those, then yeah.  You're SOL and will have to manually insert everything.  I recommend afterwards getting the backup assist app and backing everything up so you don't have to do that ever again.
    Hope this helps!

  • If I delete phone numbers and contacts from my phone, and I go synch up and back up my phone to computer, will I get the contacts and phone numbers put back on my phone again

    If I delet contact/phone numbers from my iPhone and then go to back up my iPhone in iTunes, will it put them back in my phone>  if so, how do I get rid of those contacs.number out of the stored info on the computer?
    Kris

    it depends on whether or not the contacts are in a contacts program on your computer and where they are on your phone. if they're on your phone in icloud, then no. if they're on your phone from an email account, then no. if they're on your phone in a group called 'from my pc' or 'outlook' or something like that, then yes, by default, they'll most likely come back to your phone from your computer

  • Phone numbers not properly formatted

    I just upgraded to the 4S and most of my phone numbers can't be dialed by SIRI because they are not properly formatted. The numbers that can be dialed are of the form +1-617-nnn-nnnn.  The numbers that cannot be dialed are of the form nnnnnnnnnn.  I have hundreds of numbers in this format.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried Settings > General > International to make sure your phone is not set to some incorrect region which might give it trouble interpreting the numbers?

  • Can other phone brands receive mms from an iPhone?

    Are other phones able to receive a picture from an iPhone? If I send a picture, am I sending a 5mp photo in the message?

    The size of the picture you send is set in the MMS Settings (Settings...General...Network...Cellular Data Network...MMS Max Message Size.
    On iOS4 it defaults to 2MB but the recipient may not be able to receive and image as big as this. Depends on their phone model and their network provider
