How can you add more mobile numbers in your contact? Because you have only one space for a mobile number for each contact. This makes it difficult to send a text message to another mobile number from the same contact.
I think it would require some kind of outlook editor. I don't think its possible to see more than one mobile number per contact, so if you want to use the automatic number fill-in function (or whatever it's called) you probably have to make another entry in your phone book. Not ideal but I don't have that many contact with two mobile phone (and using them). Cheers
Even if you do manage to add more mobile numbers for the same contact, the second one won't sync with outlook on your PC and you won't be able to keep backups. Create a second listing for the same contact and differentiate it with a number or some other way, i.e. John Smith - John Smith 2.

Hi,
Everytime I get a new number from the recent calls window it save the number as a business number.
How do I change it so that it will save as a mobile number by default ?
Im sure there must be some sort of registry tweek in outlook for that
Thanks
I have installed wm6.1 on my Wizard. Even though this is a general question but i don't know where to post this so i m putting it up over here.
The threaded sms view only aggregates your conversation with one number of the contact. i.e. if i have a number saved in my mobile like
Contact 1
Mob: xxxxxxx
Car: xxxxxx
as the standard format can't cater 2 mobile numbers so i am using the car field for the 2nd number. but it shows 2 conversations (a conversation per number).
is there any way to aggregate it per contact instead of per number?
I believe nowadays, some people have more than 2 mobile numbers,may be more. Like myself, one for personal, and the other for work.
So just say you want to add me as your contact, how can you add both my mobile number into contacts? Where it only allow 1, what a flaw by the way.
You guys must have friends with more than 1 mobile numbers, and how you manage? I mean, is there a way to hack a new field into the contacts?
My Sprint PPC-6800 has several extra categories, so I just pick one of those. Car tel:, Radio tel:, or Home2 tel: look like good prospects.
And then how does someone send a sms to your 'Car tel'? What you have offered is not an adequate solution.
They're just labels. I can send an SMS to a home landline if I want. It won't be received obviously, but if I put a mobile number in the Home tel: field, it would work. Same thing with the rest of the available labels. You just have to remember that Car tel, in your example, is the guy's second mobile phone.
Hmmmm, on my Tytn II if I try to send an sms to a contact it will only list numbers in the 'mobile number' fields for that contact.

It sounds like that's the difference. On my Sprint Mogul running WM 6.1, when I want to send a new text message, I click on the "To:" field, and the contact manager pops up. I type in the contact name, and can select any phone number or email address for any contact.
Inesoft Address Book has this function,to add as many fields as you want to a contact...

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...
Some of my contacts have multiple mobile phone numbers, say one for Spain, one for France and one for Germany (also multiple SMS numbers). I have a hard time to get all these numbers into the WM-Outlook in one contact, as there's only one mobile-phone field. Can't I somehow get more custom fields like mobileFr, mobileSp, mobileDe, homeFr, homeSp etc..?
thanks for any tips on this
In short, no. outlook is limited to only one mobile number.
hm..is there a way to add info to the phone number, eg doesn't seem to work: 0123 456 789 (mobile Spain)
