Is there a way to get WM6 to ask you if you want to save a number to contacts when you dial or receive a call from a number that isn't already in there?
I've had a bit of a search, but can't find any relevant info!
in the call history list, you can click to get the option to save the number into a contact (existing or new). but it's not a automatic prompt like you're requesting.
Thanks. I knew I could do that, it's just my old Sony Ericsson used to do this and I found it quite a useful feature. Does anyone know if there are any programmes that will do this?
Hello!
Anyone found any program that make this function?

Hi guys, my question might sound stupid as I'm new to windows mobile, but I can't seem to be able to find a way to insert more than 1 similar type of contact details under the same contact.
Say for eg I use 2 mobile numbers or 2 landline numbers, but when I try to save them under the same contact head I just get 1 option for each type of contact. Surprisingly I couldn't find any option to edit my own label as well. Any idea what could be done in this scenario???
Isn't there any solution to my question???
I face the same issue...
any suggestion?
Try put those numbers into other fields, such as "work2 tel", "home2 tel"... Some 3rd party softwares can do that but their fields are not compatible with MS Outlook on PC.
Well, thats not a solution, is it? Thats just ignoring an issue... I know I can save in other fields but if I try to transfer some contacts from my s60 where I have stored them properly then the 2nd entry gets deleted automatically, thats annoying & I dont even know how many of my contacts has already been messed up like that.... Pheww...!!!
Windows Mobile takes contacts as it is defined in MS Outlook. And by design Outlook takes only one contact Information. Theres no other solution.

Outlook supports 2 Business numbers, 2 Home numbers, 1 Mobile number plus a bunch of other numbers like Other and Company. Try adding your extra fields in Outlook and then sync to your phone, hopefully the extra numbers will appear in your contact record. Just use the drop-down selector in Outlook to pick the fields you want to view and fill them in.
Yeah that seems a good idea, will give that a try...
Is this possible? I'm new to Windows Mobile and I can't find any way of sending the same SMS message to more than one contact. I've done a search on the forum but haven't been able to find a solution frrom those old threads.
Any new and easy solutions you guys know of? Thanks!
Anyone?
I have a new number with my new WinMo phone and need to let all of my contacts know, of which there are around 100.
I like the following, GroupSMS. There are others as well.
Thanks for that.
The problem with I'm having using that app is that I can't sync my HTC Touch HD with Outlook, it just says "Outlook has not been configured". So I have no way of copying the contact from my phone to Outlook and hence am unable to create any groups in Outlook to sync back to my phone.
Help?
Hmm, Ok, I don't use Outlook so don't know how to help with that. May want to bring up those issues within the GroupSMS thread itself, see if others can help.
In WM6.1 the standard messaging client allows for SMS to a lot of people. Simply press the TO: button to add additional people. The format goes like this on mine when auto inserted from the contact list:
Xda Developers <8085551211>; Thresher <8083332222>; etc
When I am typing out multipl contacts in SMS i simply type the name, then hit enter, I then type another name, choose it and go from there.
It sounds like that is what you were asking but you got a lot of varied results. Perhaps groupsms is easier to use or something but I do not know. You only need what wm6.1 has to do multiple sms sending.
Is your Outlook (not Express) in fact setup and operational from your desktop?
i just start a new sms
click [to] text
add a contact click [to]
add another and so forth
I can't understand how it's not an easy thing for MS to implement, if I have a group set up called 'work', in the To: box, I put 'work' and it text's to everyone in the work group? Surely that wouldn't have been hard to implement?
Hi all,
I'm not sure whether I missed something, but I find that I can add a phone number to Contacts from wm6 call history. However, it don't have the category field in the add contact form. And therefore I have to run my Contact manager (PocketInformant) to assign the category for this contact again. This is quite clumsy to me. Is there hack (on registry)/ any plugins that can helps?
Many thanks!

I've searched XDA high and low (and the rest of the interweb) and can't find anything that seems to answer my question....
I'd like to tweak the information that Sense displays for contacts. When I am in a person's contact screen, I can see all their phone numbers, email addresses, groups, but I particularly would like to see their company name. There are a couple of contacts for which I only have first names, and the only way to tell the 2 "Tony"s apart is by company name. As it stands right now, I have to click "Edit contact" and scroll all the way down to see the company name.
It seems like it should be pretty straight forward to get this information on to the contact screen.... I'm sure other people would like to see birthdays, or mailing addresses, without having to hit "edit contact".
I'd rather not use a 3rd party contact manager (although I guess HTC Sense technically is 3rd party), I really do like HTC Sense contacts.
Is this in the wrong forum? If so, please move it, mods... Thanks!
I've been wondering this too.
I've been looking for the same information too. On my contact list, companies don't even show up. They are listed as <Unnamed> on the list and I have quite a few of them, but since I don't have a Contact name associated with them, I don't even know whose number is whose.
If you find any mods that address this, let me know. I'll let you know if I do. Or if anyone reads this and has found a solution, please let us know!
Don't know if this helps but- for Windows Mobile Users
I have the same question, and am searching for an answer as well, however, if you use the WINDOWS contact manager, which is seperate from the SENSE manager, you will see the company names as well. If you want to access the Windows version, use the start menu, and select contacts.
you can accomplish this by changing the "file as" setting under the winmo contacts and then it will show up in Sense the way you want it. You have to edit the contact in the "winmo contacts" and select the name as if you are going to edit it to get the "files as" option.
I also found a simple utility called "fileaschanger" but cannot find the thread so I'm attaching the cab. It allows you to change the "file as" setting for ALL your contacts in one step.
There is also this other utility but I have not tried it yet. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-contact-utilities-v1-0b.html
In addition to the company name, I would like to see the Notes field and fax numbers. I may be the only one but it annoys me that I have to hit "Edit Contact" to get more info. The should have just labeled this "More info"
Two questions really.
If I knew where to get a manual (can't find one anywhere) I'd not need to ask the first question:
OK, I've received an SMS which I want to forward to someone that isn't in my phonebook. I can hold-press the message and select 'forward', but instead of being able to put the number in to send it to, Hangouts pops up (which is the ****tiest text app I've ever seen, btw) and makes me select a contact. Because there is no contact for this number, I tried creating a new one (although I don't want a contact for this number) but when I put the number in, it won't let me save it; I've tried pressing enter but nothing happens. This is the single most frustrating thing I've found with KitKat so far.
In fact, I have another question:
Can anyone recommend a decent SMS app? Really, hangouts is truly awful.
