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)

Hi,
i have all my contact numbers saved as they are locally ie. in the uk 07xxxxx i've recently went to egypt on holiday and found that i could not dial the numbers directly even though i changed my time zone to "visiting Egypt" under settings ( for some odd reason i assumed that my ppc would be smart enough and change the dialing code automatically) I have to change the number and add +44 to every number i dial. is there a better way of storing and dialing numbers other than going through my contacts adding country codes
thanks in advance
I think Paul from Modaco once wrote an app to update all contacts thuswise automatically; however, I haven't seen the program for a few years, you could try asking him for a copy if you get stuck.

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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...

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.
Treo 650, WM 6.1, ActiveSync with Exchange 2003.
Contacts pulled/queried from Exchange global address list contain a slash separating the area code and the rest of the phone number (e.g. 404/123-4444). When I attempt to call a number with a slash, the dialing sequence halts at the slash, but still tries to make the call (e.g. the phone dials 404 and activates "send").
Before someone states the obvious like try to import as many contacts as possible to my personal contacts and replace the slash, let me say this is not practical. Also, my company predominantly uses Blackberry for its handheld needs and this does not cause issues for those devices, so I cannot ask that the company go in and change the phone number formatting for 50K+ entries. Lastly, I have tried searching xda and the rest of the interweb to no avail - feel free to search-slap me with a valid search link (one that is properly formated url including search string) if you know of one that has relevance to my plight.
I've tried changing regional settings hoping another country setting would "interpret" the slash to no avail so far. Tried other contact software, hoping there would be a setting for controlling "special characters", but nothing yet.
xda-developers, you are my only hope
Thanks in advance!
i take my HTC Polaris abroad and use the sim card purchasing from the local operator, the problem is the SMS i sent to another local cell phone is unreadable in case of simple Chinese character in it, the the same SMS,only digit and engilish can be recognized.
In this cell phone, 'using unicode when necessary' had been selected,and i already check the regist table as following : _current_user->microsoft->inbox->SMSUnicode=1;
I'd changed wm6.1 and wm6.5(simple Chinese version) and tried send SMS to myselft,it still has the same problem.
it seems that unicode does not work when i send SMS with Chinese character,who can help me to solve it,many thanks.
