Public payphone number in my private contact list

This is very scarey. I have a public payphone number that has shown up in my contact list. I have my privacy settings all set so only people in my contact list can access me.
I did not request this nor did I receive a request.
Please help me.

Go to Settings -> Phone. Tap "My Number" and type your number. Then tap "Save.

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.

Limited number of labels in contact list?

Is there a limit to the number of labels which can be added to the contact list?

MAX_INLIST_VALUES = \[0-99]
Values : Integer: min-1, max depends on DB
Default : -1
Description : Allows you to set the maximum number of values you may enter in a condition when you use the IN LIST operator. 99 Specifies that you may enter up to 99 values when you create a condition using the IN LIST operator. The maximum authorized value you may enter depends on your database. The value of -1 means that there is no restriction on the number of values returned, except that imposed by the database.

Phone Number at top of Contacts list

I had the original iPhone and upgraded it to the 3G. This came with two problems:
My phone number no longer appears at the top of the contacts list. It used to and it does on every other iphone I've seen. It's not that big of a deal, but I'd like it there, because I'm constantly forgetting my number and it was a convenient way of remembering it. Plus I'd like to know why it's not there.
Visual Voicemail - the button didn't work. I solved this from a thread found here, basically call yourself (not using 1, call yourself), hit * and then create a new password. When you're done, it will ask for the password again, just enter it and you're fine.

I've just been searching for references on the number not appearing on the phone. On my wife's phone it doesn't show up at all and not on itunes either. One post said it had something to do with the sim card that's in the phone does not have your number listed in the "own number" field that's on the sim. It was recommended to take the sim out and put it into another gsm phone that will allow you to read the fields on the sim and manually put your number in. Then put that sim back into the iphone and it should appear, you might have to go to settings under mail, calendars, contacts and import from sim.
The other method mentioned was to restore the phone as a new phone and not from backup. I did this with my phone for another issue and it was a major pain setting everything back up so I won't be doing this again unless there were no other way. As for the sim method I might go to an AT&T store and have them pull the sim and enter the number. Since it's now my wife's phone maybe she'll go do it?!!

Why is No Caller Id showing from a landline despite the number being in my contact list.

As I am sure the majority of phone users do, I have my Home landline stored in my Contacts. Despite this, when my Home landline rings my iphone 5s it shows up as No Caller ID as an incoming call. Yet when I ring my home landline from my iphone 5s it shows an outgoing call to Home. My phone software is iOS 8.1.3. I have tried changing my local STD code to the International Code but this has no effect but in any case I have Dial Assist set to automatically detect the correct international code so I was not surprised this did not work. Anyone have a solution to this please?

My landline is not set to block caller ID and this problem has only happened since I got my iPhone 5s recently. I previously had an iPhone 3GS and it worked fine. I am still on the same network TMobile and visited an EE store for them to transfer everything across successfully except for this No Caller ID issue

Email and Phone number added to contact list without permission?

Just discovered an email and phone number added to my contact list under my name and its not mine! How did this happen? Can't call Apple because my 90 days has expired and they won't answer the question without me paying!! So frustrating!! Hoping someone has an answer for me??

What is the full message of the notification ? If your phone number and email address were added to, for example, the Messages app on another device then you will need to go to that other device to remove them from it

Hi al,
I just got my first bberry and I'm trying to figure out how to display "name" and "phone number" on the contact list. So far, I can only get "name" and "company". Is it possible to change?
Thanks,

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Well... you can't get the phone number to display in the contacts. You pull up a contact by name or company name, not the number.
So, when you pull John Doe, just click on that name, and your menu screen will give you the option to call or email or SMS that individual.
And the neat thing is, if the phone number is highlighted in the menu, then the Call John Doe option is defaulted.

Importing contacts into Public Folder email contact list under the folder

I am able to create a public folder and add a blank contacts list
1. How to do I import external contacts into the public folders contact list?
* I imported all external contacts via CSV into the GAL and then manually added all of them to my contacts list. I then moved them form my contacts to the public folders contact list.
There has to be a easier way.
2. How come I can't show the public folders contact list in Favorites? I can see the public folder but not the contacts list in that public folder even after I add it to my favorites.

Hi,
You may export the contacts from the Personal contact folder and then import it to the Public folder.
The following article for your reference:
Export contacts
You can export contacts to a file that can then be imported into other applications, such as Web mail clients, Excel spreadsheets, or database applications.The most common export file format is a comma separated value (CSV) file.
Import contacts
Contacts can be imported into Outlook from other applications or from exported Outlook contacts. These instructions assume that you have already exported the contacts from the other application, such as a Web client, Excel spreadsheet, or database application.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Problem with Facebook status blocking phone numbers in contact list

Unlike a lot of users, I don't mind that my Facebook contacts merge with my other contacts. However, I am having a problem with viewing all the information in some of the individual profiles. It seems that whenever someone updates their FB status, the status posts where the phone number usually is. The only way to view the phone info for these contacts is to "edit" the entry, then you can see the phone info. Does anyone know if there is any way to eliminate the status update from the contact information?

I don't mind seeing their updates, I don't even mind seeing the update on the individual contacts page. I mind not being able to see the phone number field in my contacts list. I have a friend that has the original Droid and he stated that the update is at the bottom of the screen, not the top covering the phone number. Why is it that on a phone with so much "ability" that it has to put the Facebook status field over the phone number?

02 3G pay as you go not displaying number at top of contacts

Hi I have changed the number on my I phone using the PAC code - I now recieves calls as my new number. Hoever the contacts list does not diaply any number at the top (used to display the phones original number) and my iTunes Summary page still displays the old number. I have:
Switched the phone on and off
Gone into 02 shop where i bought it and asked what to do:
Removed and put the card in another phone then put it back - (as per suggestion by O2 shop)
Restored and resynced using itunes (as per suggestion by O2 shop)
Does any one know what to do?
Thanks

You will need to set your new number in the fields for own number in the SIM itself. While the iPhone does not offer any way to do this, you might be able to do it using the other phone that you mention. Absolutely no need for resetting the iPhone as far as I know, but I defer to the gurus here.
Hope this helps!

Contact list

Does anyone have a problem with dialing a number from you contact list. I have a number saved in my contact list and when i go in there to select dial it does not ring but automatically disconnects me. Everyone other number works but just the particular one only.

I've dialed this number before from my contact list as well as punching in the number on the keypad and have had no problems calling it before; it just started happening today. I called the contact number from my work phone and it went through fine. I also tried deleting the number and putting it back in but same problem. I even tried putting in a 1 and then the area code in front of the number but still did not go through. Would the other problem be that the the other person may have my cell # blocked.

Why do I keep loosing contacts from my contact list?

Why do I keep loosing contacts from my contact list?!

I dont know how this has been going on, but have realised it in the past 2 weeks, i save a couple of contacts or even one, there after a couple of hours or a day the contact disapears. I realized this because i get alot of text messages from unknown numbers in which i save after requesting who the contact is, after saving & a few hours have gone by, when my check my messages the contact is only displayed by a number, going to my contact list its missing. I have realized i have lost alot of contacts this way & this is very disturbing, if im loosing contacts how can i hold up my business & social life? (& mind you same thing happens with email)

Contact list protection ? why do apps have free access?

applications have the ability to harvest private contact lists on iPhone/iPod and Android devices. There's no protection, no prompt, nothing. You get prompts for geo-localization, push notification, but nothing for the private contact list.

is there any technical issue to protect the contact list from applications... ie related to the syncing with related email accounts contact lists? just wondering... I don't want to rely on the integrity of application makers. I want a native lock on the device, a prompt to allow or deny access. Why isn't it there?
I want to rely on iPhone/iPod security, is that possible?
thanks.

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
