Star symbols adjacent to some phone numbers in Contacts

Hi
Anyone know what the little star symbol next to some telephone numbers in Contacts means? I can't seem to find anything that describes it.
Cheers

It means that the number is in your Favorites.

Contact your provider and see if they have a means to do this. It can be done for a cost with AT&T.

Max phone numbers per contact in the phonebook for...

Hi,
I have Nokia 5300 which is running s40. I also have a Nokia N70 which is running s60.
Nokia N70 can store more than 5 phone numbers per contact where as 5300 can only store 5 which i found out when i tried sending a business vCard. I was wondering whether this is a problem because of the s40 version on 5300 and whether there is a software update for this. If not, i would just like to know what is the reason (out of curiosity - is it the 5300 hardware and runs s40 or something else ...).
Thanks & Regards,
PS: I found out that Phonebook is part of the OS/firmware for the phone.

The S40 Nokia operating system - what the 5300 is based on - is in many ways simpler & more limited than S60/Symbian. (In some ways it is also more efficient and at least simpler/smaller.)

it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account. First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point). The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working. However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear. Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that? Or any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts. (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.) Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup. If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

How do i display phone numbers from Contacts in large type?

The phone numbers displayed in Contacts are difficult to read for old eyes. How do I display them in a large font size so I can read them without glasses? Is there a setting or an alternate app that can do that?

The only thing that I know of is Settings -> General ->Accessability -> Zoom
With that on, when you tap the screen twice using 3 fingers, the whole screen zooms. I've tried the "Large Text" feature, but it does nothing to the phone numbers in contacts, just the text portions.

UCCX Scripting: Blocking some phone numbers

Hi,
I am trying to make a script which would allow calls from only certain phone numbers.
Like e.g. some mobile phones have this option of blocking or not accepting any call from some specific numbers.
Any ideas on how this can be done.
Thanks and best regards,

Hi,

Of course, the above example does not work with MGCP.
CUCM: it's a bit tricky, but if you happen to have CUCM 8.x you can use the External Routing Rules (CURRI or what they call it now I don't know). Basically it's an XML telling CallManager who to allow.

I can't send messages to some phone numbers!

Are there some mobile numbers/Telephone Carriers that cannot receive iMessages? I have a friend who has recently changed carriers and now I cannot send him messages from my iPhone. Any help would be most appreciated!

What is preventing you from sending him a message?
Settings > Messages - Send as SMS to On, then if they are not iOS 5 device users (and they are registered with iMessage), it will send a standard SMS message.

How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages

My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number. In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number. So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them. Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
Thanks.

I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Problem seeing phone numbers in contacts

After transferring a contact list from a nokia to my new iphone 4 some contacts do not display phone numbers although the numbers are stored as it is possible to send sms messages. How can I solve this problem.?

SOrry i forgot to mentions the reason i said check for Dublicate numbers with one digit difference.
i have almost the same problem since 9300 Series. i figured out that i have too many cantacts number where their mobile fields consist of 10 digits each, the only difference between the numbers is in one digit only ( ex. 0505 XXXXXX and 0555 XXXXXXX ) if the Xs are the same I wont be albe to see the caller ID if I saved each on a different contact card . But, If i deleted the contact card of the number 0555 XXXXXXX all the outgoing calls and incoming call from this number will show the caller ID of 0505 XXXXXXX.
what i found it odd is when the one digit difference is at the end of the number it will show the caller ID for xxxxxxx1 or xxxxxxx2. Very Strange!
Hope the Helpdesk will provide me with a suggestion to resolve such little problem.

Switched from Blackberrry to iphone. I can't highlight phone numbers in contact notes and make calls from that number, how do I make a phone number "live" ?

How do I make email addresses and phone numbers in the notes section of contacts, "live"? I could run curser over number in Blackberry and could intiate call or email by clicking on it. I have some of those "live", but most are not. How can I change to "live"?

If I go to my notes app ( not a note in a contact) and I add a phone number and tap done the number becomes live. However if I then copy the live number from the notes app and try and paste it into the notes field in a contact it is no longer live. Weird huh

How to change the order of phone numbers in Contacts?

For the phone numbers for a specific contact on my iPhone, I may have: 1. work fax, 2. work, 3. home, 4. mobile. For the same contact synced on my Mac, I have, in Address Book: 1. home, 2. mobile, 3. work and 4. work fax. I obviously prefer to have Mobile first.
Is there a way to control and change the order of phone numbers for a contact on the iPhone?

Before you sync your iPhone the next time, activate the option "sync addressbook" and "replace all Contacts on iPhone". The next sync will replace your contact info on your phone. From that point on all contact infos will be the same on your mac and and your phone. And changes or new infos will also be seen on both systems.
Hope this helps

Phone numbers in contact list disappeared after last SW-Update

Hi,
everything worked fine until this week. My contacts were synchronized with outlook exchange. I got all contact phone & email details.
Now, I see only email addresses of my contacts. Forcing manual synchronization don't help. It seems that the synchronization works fine but there are still no phone numbers available. A mobile phone without stored phone number is a nightmare!
Can somebody help me?
