WHY assume cell number as primary contact phone number.

I just finished an upgrade of my FIos service, and was puzzled to have them keep contacting me on my cell phones. Since I retired, I am rarely using my cell phone and don't even have it on much of time. I was surprised to see when I reviewed my VERIZON account profile that the Cell number is assumed as the contact number. Only way i see to stop them from contacting me that way is to put up an alternate phone number(actually my FIOS Digital Voice numer) and list me cell number as NONE.
Very strange as I know it wasn't always this why.

Hey TNS. This a guess on my behalf. Most people prefer cell phone contact over home phone. I can say from personal experience no one calls me on my home phone, except telemarketers. Having a cell phone is like a home phone that is with you every where you go. Are you able to edit the phone number on the profile there?

Regarding autofill, I deliberately have only my home phone in my contact info, yet autofill always puts my cell number in telephone space. How do I change this?

Blackberry malfunction--why is my phone dialing itself (and it actually rings as if it is a caller calling in but my Cell number shows)

two weeks ago my Blackberry did something quite strange
without any person nearby or pushing any buttons the phone rang--I looked to see who it was, and it said my full name and it displayed my full cell number.
I did not answer it. It rang the full number of rings, then the phone stopped, there was no message left. I called my network Customer service and they could not explain this, except to ask me if I use Bluetooth. I do not and it is not enabled on my phone.
It happened again today, with no person nearby who could have pushed any buttons.
Do I have a virus? I have had Blackberry models for years, and never had this happen to any handset.
I do not download/upload anything except Blackberry updates.
I also never dial my own number to access voicemail, I jsut dial 123 for Vmail.
So can anyone explain this? Much appreciated.

The phone doesn't hav a virus, but that is strange.
Do a battery pull first.
Do you have yourself as a contact? if so, delete your info for a bit to see what happens if this call happens again.
if this happens again, I recommend you answer to see who is calling. That way its logged with the carrier so they can do some investigation, trace, etc.

Open contacts list, favourites should be at the top of list with stars by them, select the one you want to unfavourite, long hold and a pop up menu gives you the options to call-send message-Remove from favourites_send as contact card-Delete-or Mark. Chose the option to remove from favourites and they won't show on home screen any more !

Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?

I'm trying to reduce the number of apps that I need to run, and this one just boggles my mind.
Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?
The messages is to tightly coupled to the phone, that it doesn't make any sense for them to be separate.
The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
What's the story here?
Does it have something to do with the contacts also being part of email app?
Actually, that's my other biff... why are they entangled as such?
Phone contacts should have phone#, email contacts should have email addresses.
If you want a contact to have both phone# and email address, then the two apps (phone/email) should be combined.

The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
What's the story here?"
The forums would be full of people complaining that you had to go through an additional step ( opening the phone app) to get to contacts. I use the contacts app from the home screen far more often then I use it in relation to calling someone.
I like the way it is far more than the way you propose.

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

Why do you not have a support phone number in the UK?

Why do you not have a support phone number in the UK? This is unacceptable. You are almost imposible to contact when help is needed. This seems to be the only way! Please let me have a number I can contact you on

TS2755 When I iMessage, I type in my friends name, then select her cell number that is in my contacts. When I start the iMessage, her husband's name shows up as the default name for who I am messaging. How do I change it so that her name shows up?

When I iMessage, I type in my friend's name, then select her cell number from my contacts. When I start the iMessage, her husband's name automatically fills in as the default name. My friend is getting the iMessage, but this is confusing to me, the sender. I want her name to automatically be the default when I select her cell number. How do I change this?

Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message

Why can my daughter use my cell number on her iPad for FaceTime and I message

That's an account-level setting on the iPad. Presumably you use your cell number as your Facetime account credentials on your phone, and the iPad is linked to your account as well? You can go into the Facetime settings on the iPad and change what accounts can be reached on the iPad or used to make Facetime calls. Same goes for Messages.

Can two or more devices use the same Apple account with different cell phone numbers. I want to use FaceTime on a my 5s and my wife wants her own FaceTime on a new iPad Air with its own cell number but be linked with me with iCloud to share music

I have a 5s with an apple account and wife has a iPad air with its own cell number. Does the iPad need it's own apple account to use it's own phone number so her FaceTime calls are not sent to my phone. We want to be able to link each device to iCloud and share music, photos, ect. iPad iMessage and FaceTime have my cell number activated.

Did you remove your account information from the other person's iPhone?

HT204150 im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear later but not always. My phone lost 1000 or so contacts today alone!

Any suggestions?

Robert, to clarify, I have the contacts section of icloud switched off. This was done some weeks ago in an attempt to stop this phenomenon. Didn't work. At one stage yesterday I had 1400 contacts but now it has swelled to 4500. Strange!

Trying to get the contact phone number on Verizon site and it is not working

I am trying to call teh Customer Support number to discuss my Order, but when I go to the Contact Us page and click on the Call Us link, I get a pop-up asking for my zip code and then I am taken right back to the Contact US - no phone #'s given.   This feature worked when I used it last Friday during normal business hours.
I also tried the Live Chat link to see if I could engage a live person that way.   This time the link took me to a page that gave me the option of linking to the Support Knowledge base or accessing the automated customer support 'person' (which is just an FAQ interface).
Help - how can I talk to a live person.    If live help (via phone or chat) is limited to certain hours, that should be posted.   user should not be given the virtual version of the run-around.
Does anyone have the technical contact phone number for Maryland/DC region?

1-800-VERIZON
1-888-553-1555
Both numbers feel like they hit the same place, and I know verizon has been consolidating all their numbers to the main one - so stick with that.
