SMS and Outlook Phone Number Extenstion

I don't know if this is a N95 or a PC Suite problem.
I have used different computers, PC Suite versions and N95 firmware versions to test this.
I create a contact in Outlook and add a phone number.
For examle:
Country: Germany
Area Code: 123
Phone Number: 4567
Extension: 89
This is shown as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 in Outlook and
this is synced as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 to my N95.
I like the x so I can see the extension easily. But when I
try to write a SMS and select this contact and the phone
number, I always get "Invalid Contact details: ..."
Is this a problem with my N95 or with the PC Suite? I cannot
enter the "x" manually in my phone so I think this shouldn't
be synced. But it would be nice if I could enter it.

I pretty much agree. I have an N95 and also use Outlook 2003. I sync using PC Suite (6.85.14.1). I'm pretty sure I did not have this problem with my previous phone (6680) but if I use the formatting for the phone numbers as provided by Outlook 2003, then they get synced to the N95 as something like +44 (07801) 123456. The N95 will not work with that number so I have to edit them before I can use them - tedious.
In fact, it is only necessary to delete the nought at the beginning of the area code, so +44 (7801) 123456, will work.
It would be very helpful if the N95 software could spot the international code and then ignore a following nought. Maybe that doesn't apply to all countries, but I guess it would help a lot of us!
MAW.

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".   If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

  • Imessage using apple id and not phone number

    When using imessage it is being sent from my apple id and not from my phone number, when I go in to the message settings my phone number is greyed out. Then I went into the called id and my phone number is the one listed as the caller ID yet evertying is still being sent through my apple ID

    check in settings > messages > send & recieve and look for start new conversation from and you should be able to change it from there

  • HT4489 I am trying to import vcards, they are very simple - a name and contact phone number.  No pic, no ancillary information, but I get an error then directed to this completely unhelpful page.  The vcards are standard exports from another phone.

    Try creating the vCard with the app My Contacts Backup, email it to yourself, then open it on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts.

  • Can't send iMessages to contacts containing both an e-mail and a phone number. The phone wants to send SMS by default (iMessage is turned on)

    iPhone 3GS
    model: MC637C
    iOS version: 5.1 (9B176)
    This issue started with the last iOS update and has affected not only my phone, but my wife's and father in law's as well (we all have the exact same model)
    When I attempt to send a text message to my wife, my phone suddenly won't send imessages anymore. Only text. I have tried rebooting my phone, and my wife's phone. We have even tried wiping our phones and restoring them from backups. The problem still persists, wether we are at home connected to wifi or out of the house on 3G.
    The only way I have managed to send my wife an imessage was by creating a new contact with ONLY her e-mail address. That only worked once. since then, its trying to send everything as SMS again.
    This is unacceptable as we live in an area with very poor celular coverage and rely heavily on wifi connections, therefore we won't receive an SMS until our phones get access to the celular network. All other apps and phone functions are working correctly across all 3 phones mentioned.
    On both my phone, and my wife's, I have double checked to ensure that iMessage is still turned on. I suspect that this is a global software issue seeing as it only started once we updated our phones to the latest iOS. My question is this:
    Are we doing something wrong?
    Prior to the update, we were all able to send iMessages to eachother, regardless of where we were. The only time we'd have an issue is if someone's phone was turned off or not connected to either the celular 3G network or a wifi with internet access (which is natural).

    You may want to turn iMessage off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on on each of these phones (to re-register the phone numbers with the iMessage server).  Also confirm that you have the correct date, time and time zone on each of the phones (in case a recent change to DST resulted in incorrect setttings on your phones).  There are more troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755.

  • E51 Outlook phone number Field.

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with my E51, when using PC Suite to sync with Outlook.
    When a new contact is added via the phone, and then synced with PCSuite, the Phone Field entry in Outlook is set to Other, even though on the phone it's set to Telephone:
    Is there any way to change what field name is used?
    I have the latest firmware for my E51
    PC Suite is v7.0.7.0
    MS Outlook is 2007 SP1
    Thanks.

    Just to confirm I am having the same problem (sorry not much help!). The 'Telephone' field in the E51 maps to 'Other Telephone' in Outlook 2007 and then 'disappears' when synched with my Revo. I have had to cut and paste the 'Telephone' field to the 'Telephone (home)' field on all my phone contacts and that has kept it under control.
    If when adding a new contact in the E51, the default field was 'Telephone (home)' then I would be happy. It does not seem possible to change the entry default? At the moment it means having to remember to add this field every time I need to add a new contact's home phone number. The 'mobile' field works fine.

  • Phone doesn't accept SMS Code for phone number ver...

    I've tried to get a Skype support rep. to solve my problem with no positive results. I'm now turning to the skype Community for help.
    W want to have my phone number appear on the person's phone that I call. Skype says you can do this by setting up Called ID. They will send you a verrification code by SMS message. The problem is I have SMS messaging turned off on my phone, so it does not accept SMS messages, so I cannot receive the Verification Code.  Has anyone been able to get past this obsticle? Can they send me an email with the verification code?

    Sorry NMGuy,
    I cannot help, as I am in the same situation as you are, and am joining my voice to yours.
    I don't get SMS on my Iphone, so I cannot receive and enter the code for the caller ID option.
    Skype assumes that everybody uses SMS?, and it is very difficult to get in touch with their customer support!
    Anybody has a workaround?

  • Receiving sms to skype phone number

    Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to receive SMS texts to your skype phone number?  I have a phone number associated with my skype account and would like to send as well as receive to this number.

    This does not work for me. 
    I am on Skype 5.7.0.1130 for the Mac.
    In the Skypereferences . . . :Messaging windoid.
    I click on the "Set Number..." dropdown menu and type in my mobile phone number. I keep getting the message that "Error on sending code to mobile phone" etc.
    Now -- perhaps this is my issue, I have a brand new Skype mobile phone number for Germany. So new that I just got it two days ago. I was expecting to be able to send and receive text messages on this -- primarily from my bank and places like that which send you secret codes to your SMS when you are trying to log in. Does this work? Can it work? Why is it so hard to actually talk to a Skype Customer Support person??

  • OVi Suite is destroying OUTLOOK phone number form...

    I have formatted my Outlook phone numbers the standard way +49 (yyy)xxxx. With Ovi Suite sync of contacts, the brackets are now removed from the phone. Since you cannot specify the sync direction the reformatted phone numbers are soon or later ending up in Outlook. The issue: I don't know which part of the number is area code and what is the number.  I had to retype all my 250 numbers using a 10 year old printout. This is not acceptable.
    My OVI Suite is the current and called now Nokia Suite.
    Best is to remove that stupid filter or allow for synch direction in OVI Suite.
    Is there a solution that I have overlooked or do I have to install the old PC Suite in addition for syncing contacts?
    I cannot not live with this issue.
    Best regards
    Michael

    Hi Hunchback,
    why can't we just have a software switch or sync by directions as in PC Suite? As I said even when I do not touch my contacts in the phone I have all Outlook contact formatting removed . I have definitely not touched all contacts in the phone. I assume it happend when you reload backups on the notebook, reinstall Ovi Suite and then synch.
    All my phones E72, N82, E61I and N8 can live with formatting.
    Best regards
    Michael

  • SMS displays incorrect phone number to receiver

    Although I have Caller ID set and verified, SMS messages are being received with a different phone number (+xxxxxxxxxx  Receivers cannot reply to sent messages, and don't know who is sending.

    Same problem for me. It shows a UK number, completely different than the one I have indicated and verified. IOt worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. I didn't see any answers to previous problems, so I guess it's all screwed up,...

  • My iphone is sending messages from icloud and my phone number is not listed in the icloud settings now, just my e-mail address

    My icloud used to have my phone number as an option to send messages from but now it is gone and only my e-mail address is there.  This never happened prior to downloading the ios 7 update.

    if you turn imessage off then restart your phone turn imessage back on it worked for me

  • IMessage won't work and my phone number is grey and unalterable

    I am trying to use iMessage and my iPod touch receives iMessages but my iPhone wont. When I try to reset it my phone number is grey and unalterable. I have taken my email address off, switched off and on and toggled the on/off button. Nothing helps, can you?

    I have the same problem. After upgrading my iphone4 to ios 6.0.1 which is so called fix the bugs, i cannot activate imessage and facetime via my phone number, it is grey and inactive, not choosable. I can only use my apple id which is unreasonable, someone who wants to facetime with me has to use my mail address and cannot dial my number directly. I have been using this iphone4 for 1.5 years, and no problem till yesterday i upgraded to ios 6.0.1 from 6.0. Is this how Apple fixes bugs? Now find a solution for me Apple technicians. You make me upgrade, then i cannot use previous features. If your upgrade has problem, then dont publish it. Dont ask me to restore my iphone via itunes, i dont want to spend half a day to try to compensate Apple's fault. I am waiting for your solution.
