TS4062 new iphone lists wrong phone number when trying to sync with itunes

I received my new iphone 4s in the mail and when I try adding it to my itunes for syncing the wrong phone number shows up. The phone works and the number is correct but the one Itunes recognizes is a different number.

I received the phone by mail. I had ATT activate it with my old phone number I had on a blackberry. Everything works fine. The number under settings>phone> my number is the correct phone number.
It's when I try to add this phone to Itunes with a USB cable, itunes recognizes a different number. So i'm guessing the sim came with that number and when ATT activated the phone with my correct number, that this number is still in the phone memory somehow.
At ATT they say the phone is fine. My new number is recognized and works properly. It's just that when adding it to my itunes the new number is not recognized on the initial setup screen.
I'm not even sure this matters but itunes recognizes this phone with a different number than the one that works.

How do you capture an answered phone number in contacts ?

When you look at your call history in the phone app, you see the number that you want to add, and press on the small right arrow on the right. It will show you a new page where you can simply create a new contact or add it to an existing one.

All calls received come in as "unknown" with no phone number or contact name from my address book?

HT2486 How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensionsmuch more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

How do I add an extension to the phone number in Contacts.

I want to add phone extensions to the main phone number in contacts. How do I do it?

From what I read, using a comma to separate the main number from the extension should work. It inserts a pause, with each additional comma increasing the length of the pause. So:
4155551234,,3710484
might be long enough for the automated system to pick up and reach the point where it'll accept the extension number. If not, add more commas.
Commas will also sync to your iPhone if you have one, and work as intended.

Wrong mobile number not in my profile

My Husband has advised me that his mobile number is showing up against my contact in his Skype. It is showing up as 'call mobile 2'. I have gone over my profile and cannot find it. I removed my correct mobile number from my Skype profile but that only meant my correct number disappeared from my contact - my contact on my friends still has my husbands mobile number. How do I fix this?

@blah7:
No problem, glad I could help. I wouldn't recommend Doctoring your phone unless there is another problem that warrants that troubleshooting step. I just think that if you ever have to sign out of your profile through a partial erase or webOS Doctor, that likely your phone number would update at that point.
You're not having a problem right now, so "If it's not broke..."

How to edit phone number in contact?

I'm using Skype 5.1.0.968 on latest Mac OS and cannot figure how to edit/change/delete a phone number that I have created in the contacts list. I've tried everything I can think of!!!

Snowcreative gives a perfect description of the problem that Mac users of Skype version 5.3.x are facing. Here's some additional detail. If you type in a number to place a Skype-Out call and then wish to add that number to your Skype Addresses, you right click the number that appears in the left column and select "Show Profile". The profile appears with a button in the upper right corner that says "Add Contact". If you click that button Skype automatically creates a contact and the default action is: the contact is created and given the phone number as its name (in the top section of the profile, weird, but can be edited by a click), and in the second section of the profile the same PHONE number appears and is automatically labeled "Skype". This number CANNOT BE EDITED. THIS IS THE PROBLEM!! If I right click the word "Skype" nothing happens. If I right click the phone number the option that appears is "Copy" which is not helpful for editing. If I right click the chat icon, nothing happens. If I click on "Add Number" which appears in blue under the telephone number that has been labeled "Skype" then I can add another number. This is no help though because I already have added the number I want!! P.S. I checked my Address Book and none of the numbers that I add in Skype appear in my address book - so that is NOT the way around this. Skype grabs numbers from the address book, but does not add anything in the opposite direction. That would be a real mess!

E72 - How to format the phone number on contact

I can't figure out a easy for formatting my contact number to be like (xxx) xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx on e72 instead going to outlook make the changes and re-sync again. I find xxxxxxxxxx hard to read. I thought I found out how to add hypen "ctrl+(" but that basically long dash rather than short dash which you get an error if you try to send message with the phone number having the long dash. It is fine when you call. It is smart enough to strip out non-numerical value. But it is sms is not smart enough to remove it.

The sad thing is that there is an international standard for phone numbers (+xxx) xxx-xxxx which everyone ought to recognise and use. It allows localisation and shortened dialling, but Nokia just want a number string. It's just lazy on thepart of the programmers; since it's a standard, they should have developed the program code once and just inserted it into every phone they produce, and that's not hard.
A poor reflection on Nokia, I'm sad to say.
AFAIK the international standard for telephone numbers (E.164) does not say anything about using spaces, dashes, or brackets in a telephone number.
This may of course make it more "human readable", but claiming that what you want is a standard doesn't make it a standard, and I don't think Nokia (or any other phone manufacturer) should/could implement every single user-specific wish...

How do I add an extension to a phone number in Contacts 7.1?

Now that the perfectly servicable Address Book has been replaced by overly complicated Contacts 7.1 in OS 10.8.3, I cannot add an extention to a telephone number. A phone number with an extention ends up looking like "4155551234ext3710484". Creating a new field named "ext" doesn't help, as any number entered into this field that is longer than 3 digits is autoformated to a phone number. Some of my contacts now have 6 digit extensions!
Contacts Help is no help whatsoever. Very frustrating.

From what I read, using a comma to separate the main number from the extension should work. It inserts a pause, with each additional comma increasing the length of the pause. So:
4155551234,,3710484
might be long enough for the automated system to pick up and reach the point where it'll accept the extension number. If not, add more commas.
Commas will also sync to your iPhone if you have one, and work as intended.

My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
I have tried-
1. Turning it off and on again.
2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

Phone number, not contact name, appears for new iMessage notification

I am currently in Israel and using an Israeli SIM card with my iPhone 5C. I have unlimited data so I was told I was able to use iMessage. I am having an issue when talking to just one person. When I receive the banner or lock screen notification that I have a new message from him it just displays the phone number (area code and seven digits, no 1 or +1 or anything). Then when I swipe or tap to view the message it automatically brings me to a new message screen "To" his phone number (also the phone number is showing up green even though it is an iPhone). When I cancel the new message and am then in my Message app and viewing all my conversations, the new message is there under his contact name that is saved in my phone... And messages are blue etc. in our conversation. His number is saved with a +1 in my contacts as I am abroad and the contact name was appearing in my Messages. When I removed the +1 from his contact the phone is not recognizing him in my messages and just shows up as the number. This is very very frustrating. Please help! Thank you.

this issue corrected itself 2 days later, the power of prayer!
