What is a "star" after phone number in a contact

Using iPhone 4S with IOS 5.1. On some contacts there is a  "*" ("star") after one of the phone numbers. What is the meaning? Have not found any explanation in the User's Guide for IOS 5.1.

The star indicates the number is associated with a "favorite" phone number.  Favorites can be seen at the bottom left of the Phone app.  It makes for quicker dialing versus looking through the entire contact list.

  • How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

    How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

    Thanks again Chris.
    I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
    Thanks for your help,
    Larry

  • Second phone number for a contact wont appear as an option for text messaging on iPhone 4/IOS6

    My iPhone 4 (IOS6) is a work phone and my number is blocked (I have to call a lot of people while out of the office who I don't want to have my cell number). Since I want my friends to know it is me when I call I save their phone number in my contact list with *82 in front of their number. However, I learned that text messaging doesn't seem to work with *82 in front of the number so I also have each contact saved as a second number without the *82 at the beginning for texting only. After "upgrading" to IOS6 I have found that my texting number won't show up when I type the contact name into the address bar in the text message app, just the *82 number that won't work. It used to list all numbers associated with that contact. I know I could just send them a message from the contact card one time and then just open the thread in the messaging app every time after that, but since I am often driving when I am out of the office I use Dragon dictation to compose my texts and then only have to type the contact name into the address line each time instead of typing an entire message. Long story short, I really need it to list all numbers for each contact and not only the one they randomly decide I might want. I have also checked my contacts and ensured that the non-*82 number is listed first in the contact card, that didn't change anything.

    There is an option in the Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Of course this means that your screen layout will be reset but maybe this will 'bump' those hidden apps out of the 'invisible 5th row'. It's worth a try I guess. Did you check to make sure the apps weren't pushed to like the very last screen 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" 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.

  • HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text

    Z10 HowDoI copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    Help Please. It should be so simple but in the maze of approaches to contacts from the phone or home screen which ever way you get there; how do I select a phone number, copy it and paste it into a text message to another contact so that I can send it on?
    The logic of the interface is totally baffling to me most of the time. Can't there just be one contacts interface so that when you enter it from anywhere it presents the same options to edit etc. Cannot the three blobs be called up to allow a proper edit menu - copy/cut/paste/delete.
    Can the favourites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    Any help on any of these - much appreciated.
    Solved!

    Hey jbee,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    How Do I copy a phone number from a contact and paste it into a text message?
    The only option would be to to select the edit option on the contact and hold your finger on the number and select the copy option on the left side panel.
    Can the favorites be held permanently in screen at the top with the rest of the contacts scrolling below them?
    This feature is currently not available. 
    Can it be set up so that contact pictures do not show to save screen space?
    This feature is currently not available.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks.

  • How would i put a Australian cell phone number into my contacts such as 899-8930

    How would i put a Australian cell phone number into my contacts such as 899-8930

    Check the country of the contact, then use the international prefix number and iOS will sort out the display of the number.
    In addition to iCloud: Change the format of addresses and phone numbers

  • What happens if i enter phone number while erssing ios device from icloud?

    I want to remove my iphone4 device from find my iphone over the cloud. Because i forgot the passcode of my iphone. Now i want to restore it from a backup.
    itunes wouldn't let me do it because "find my iphone" is enabled in iphone settings. Moreover i was able to remove device from icloud. But itunes still asking me to turn off "find my iphone" from iphone settings. What i am missing here? is it because I entered phone number while erasing ios device from icloud or something else?

    If you force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 you'll be able to restore it.

  • What is iTunes billing/accounts phone number?

    Bought a song, which (later found) is only downloadable via iCloud.  The (Windows XP) PC cannot support iCloud downloads. Attempts to contact iTunes online (for refund) resulted in an endless loop to nowhere.  What is the iTunes phone number where an actual human in the billing/accounts department can be reached?

    What do you mean it's only 'downloadable via iCloud' and 'PC cannot support iCloud downloads' ? You can download music and other iTunes purchases in iTunes on a computer that is running XP.
    If you've purchased a song on your computer's iTunes then it should have downloaded into the Music part of your iTunes library, if it hasn't downloaded into there then try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option to see if that downloads it, or does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for downloading ?

  • How do you ensure that what I typed in the Phone number must be an 8 digit number?

    Hi all,
    I am now creating a text box that allows a person to type in an 8 digit phone number according to my country's specifications. If a person types in a single digit, how do I have a validation check to ensure that he has to type in 8 digits? Under Validation Pattern, I typed in 99999999 but the person can still type in a single digit and still pass through! It will only validate when a person types in more than 8 digits.
    What gives?
    Thanks for reading!

    Again, I use code to check the string against a regular expression. My expressiong validates that a string contains valid US phone pattern. Ex. (999) 999-9999 or (999)999-9999 or 1234567890
    Here's my function that I put in a script object called scoAllScripts:
    function validateUSPhone(strValue) {
    DESCRIPTION: Validates that a string contains valid
    US phone pattern.
    Ex. (999) 999-9999 or (999)999-9999 or 1234567890
    PARAMETERS:
    strValue - String to be tested for validity
    RETURNS:
    True if valid, otherwise false.
    var objRegExp = /(^\d{10}$)|(^\([1-9]\d{2}\)\s?\d{3}\-\d{4}$)/;
    //check for valid us phone with or without space between
    //area code
    return objRegExp.test(strValue);
    Here is the code that I put in the Exit event of my phone number field:
    if (!this.rawValue == "") {
    if(!xfa.form.FSOrder.PAGE1.variables.scoAllScripts.validateUSPhone(this.formattedValue)) {
    xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a telephone number including area code in the format '1234567890' or '(999) 999-9999'");
    Hope that helps.
    If you need more help with field validation (i.e, more regular expressions), you can easily find RegExpr pages using a Google search.

  • What if I keyed my phone number wrong in iOS8 security set up?

    I accidentally fat fingered my phone number during initial start up of the new iPhone OS, iOS8.  The data entry screen had something to do with security.  I'm not sure how it is supposed to work but I can't find anywhere to change this.   Can someone help me out or give me some advice?  Is there a way I can change it?

    Are you referring to a passcode? If you forget your passcode and your device is then locked, then you'll permanently lose access to any and all of the data stored on your device that isn't synchronised with iCloud! I therefore strongly recommend you immediately create a backup of your device's data and then attempt to recall the passcode.
