IPhone :: Receiving Sms Messages From A Contact With Multiple Phone Numbers?
Mar 12, 2012
I have many contacts that are couples and have a phone number for each individual. For example, if I had a contact for Jack & Jill, I would have a mobile number for Jill and a mobile number for Jack. In the Contacts I also custom label each mobile number as Jill's mobile and Jack's mobile.When I receive a text message from either of these phone numbers, in Messages I just see that the text is from Jack & Jill. I can't see if it is from Jack's mobile or Jill's mobile.Is there any way to see in Messages exactly which mobile is sending me the text? Or am I going to have to have a separate contact for each person, i.e. Jack & Jill will have to be split up as a contact for Jill and a contact for Jack?
I have a contact with two phones - for instance, John and Jane Doe. I want to text them each separately, and easily see who I'm texting. But in the Messages history, it displays "John and Jane Doe". And it's a hassle to click on the message, then "Contact", then "i" to see which is colored blue.Â
I've even added custom identifiers to each phone number in gmail contacts. Instead of "Mobile" or "Work" I used their names, "John" and "Jane". I'd like to see those custom identifiers in the Messages app.
I just bought the E73 and can not figure out how to add multiple phone numbers under one contact name also would like to add details for contacts like email,ext is this not possible with this phone?
I am facing a bit of an irritating problem on my samsung galaxy s6. When I go to phone -> 1-9 keyboard and use it for the letters (2=a,b,c; 3=d,e,f, etc.), I can easily find the number I need. The problem is that for most of my contacts, when I click them, a second window pops up, asking me exactly which number for this contact I'd like to dial. Now.... I don't have a second number for any of my contacts.
When I go and check them in the contacts menu, they only show one mobile number per contact. When the window thingy pops up, it always shows multiple options of the same exact number, or maybe the same number with some spacings added / removed between the digits. In the following link you can find a screenshot that I took, where I have a choice between three same numbers: [URL] ....
I am 99% sure that the problem is because of google contacts, viber, whatsapp, etc., but do not know how to fix it without removing the contact from the app.
I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number. Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number.
I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens), the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know who & where their calling from. It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time, but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time. My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone.
I was wondering if there is a way on the 9630 to make one phone number of multiple numbers under one contact be the priority?A lot of times I type in the first couple of letters to get the contact and hit send to call them and then I get asked always what number to call on that contact. Starting to get a little old.I would like to make the personal mobile number the priority instead of being asked all the time or at least put in on the top of the list.I also notice on the 8530 for text messaging they have different colored backgrounds for the incoming and outgoing texts. Is there a option on our phones so they can do that too?
what happens with text/sms messages when your blackberry is stolen but you keep the same number.So, for example, my blackberry was stolen last week and I am due to receive a new one this week that will have the same phone number. If people have texted/sms'd me on that number during the week I had no phone, will I receive the texts messages? I imagine not since it will be a different Sim Card.
I've synchronized Contacts from my PC and all appears OK except for when I select a particular contact with multiple phone numbers... I only see the first one? How would I dial someone at one of the "secondary" numbers? Curve 9330 w/OS v6.
My IPhone 4 connected to my mac today. Took a call, then looked through my phone and all the phone numbers have lost there contact name details. It seems that the problem is related to Sync as my contacts are located via microsoft outlook. But sync details are turned on and they are not syncing. Have backed up office 2011 and reinstalled fresh, and still not syncing is happening. So that would say that this is not an office related software issue. I'm lost to backup all and start from scratch.
My messages are being delivered to a specific contact, however an R is never displayed and none of their messages ever come through to my phone. They are receiving mine, although it doesn't show me they have read the messages, and none of their messages get to me at all. This is a problem for only 1 contact?!?
Does anybody know how you get the contacts picture to display when receiving a text message? I have all numbers prefixed with the national code so it isn't that causing the problem.
I synched my Blackberry Curve phone contacts with the Bluetooth connection in my Mini Countryman (2012), but now I don't know how to add new contact numbers as I add them to my phone.If I "transfer contacts" on my phone to the Mini, will it duplicate all the names/numbers already put in, or will it only add the new ones?
I have a new Bold 9900 and my messages window is only showing shone numbers and appears to be frozen as well.
I have tried to reset the settings to messages only to no avail. There really seems to be something wrong because new calls are not even showing up Unopened messages continue to show up on the home screen at the top
In my prior BlackBerry Bold the phone numbers in Text Messages were highlighted and could be called by pointing to them. My new Torch does not highlight them.
for some reason, I am receiving calls on multiple devices when they are in close proximity. For example, if my wife receives a call then my son's phone and my phone will also ring. All devices have been logged out of the Apple ID. As far as I know, this is not happening with iMessage.
When I send a message on my iPhone 6 to multiple people, how can I have their replies only sent to me and not seen by everyone on my original distribution?
I received the same message multiple times and the person that sends it only did it once. Also, I have trouble getting texts from non iPhone using friends.
From what it seems like, it seems app is not running in background properly. Power saving is off, app optimization for WhatsApp is on default setting (can't change it because it is a system app), and data is running properly. All other apps do push notifications just fine. Running 5.1.1 COI9 build.
I have many contacts which have numbers saved under the same label.For example a contact like this:
First name: AMobile: 11Mobile: 22Telephone: 33Telephone: 44 When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows:
AMobile: 11Telephone: 44Mobile (other): 22As you see it deleted one of "Telephone" labeled numbers. It also happened when I used PC suite.
It is really annoying as if I save/sync the contact using Ovi, it causes loss of contacts data.BTW there is no problem using Backup/Restore function of Ovi/PC suite, nor "Copy to memory card" function of the phone itself.
Ovi suit version : 2.1.1.1
Nokia E51 v300.34.56
Windows 7
tested another one with 6 different numbers under the same "Mobile" label the result in Ovi is:
AAMobile: 11Mobile (main): 33Mobile (other): 22the other 3 numbers were lost
