Not all contact numbers are shown - Captivate General

I have multiple phone number like home, mobile, Work etc etc for a contact. When I click edit I see all of them but when I view to call a number I see only one number. How can I make to see all the phone numbers.
Thanks in advance!

change default number

Hi
how can I change default number for a contact?
for example tochflo only use mobile number to send sms and I want to use work number as default
tnx
no solution?
I do remember that when adding contacts to the 15 under People tab, you were able to select which number to display as the primary number. Maybe remove the contact, then re-add them?

this is just for people you add in the people tab
what about the others?
If you select a contact that is not in your contacts tab, it gives you all numbers to choose from. There is no default number.
I get it now. Start -> all programs -> contacts.
In there, it lists a number to go with the contact.
You wish to change this number yes?

I want to change the number that touchflo sms manager or whatever it is uses to send sms.
Not sure I fully understand the problem, BUT:
If you go to the Message tab, and start a new message, as you type in the Contact's name you can choose whichever number you have stored for them as the number to use. I just sent myself a test text, to my landline, using this method - it was pretty easy, and didn't require me to change any details about myself.
Hope this helps.

App to show contact name in SMS [Request]

Hi,
Anybody knows of an app to show the contact name in a text message instead of a mobile number? For example the 'Who Called' service from T-mobile (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/call-options/who-called/) will send you a text message of the phone number(s) that called while the phone was switched off.
I receive such messages with phone numbers and have to actually try to call the number to figure out the contact (if it exists).
Thanks,
-Gus

Are you saying your stock messaging app doesn't automatically link your contact name?
I've used both the stock messaging app and ChompSMS and both of them display the person's name that the number is associated with in my contacts list (and shows their picture if I have one set for them).

I think what he's saying is that the text message is being sent from T-Mobile in every case and the content of the message is a telephone number. Although he is sent the number of the person that called he does not know which contact the number is linked to and the only way to find out is to call that number and see what contact name shows up in the call log. It basically sounds like he wants a way to look up a contact by phone number.

That's the part I'm confused about. The SMS app already shows the name, and if you long click on them you can call that person directly or view their contact details...
So even if only a number showed up, he should be able to just long press on it and then get to the contact details and see who it is.
The OP mentions the phone being OFF.

Yes that is exactly it. Its not the name of the sender of the message. Its a number in a text message of someone (it can be more than one number) who called me while my phone was switched off for any reason.

I use Hullomail. It replaces your network voicemail service and it's 'free'. Also it will send you a email with the number or name of the caller but you would need to give the app service access to your Gmail contacts for that.
They also have an app in the market to access all your voicemails.
Features:
* Receive and play voice-emails directly in your inbox, mobile and the web
* Get notified of any missed call, even in areas with no mobile reception
* Take control of your voice-emails – it’s up to you, not the operator
* Share, delete and keep your voice-emails forever, within a click
* See who’s calling you instantly from your email contacts
* Access, view, and manage your voice-emails, all from one place
* Use the 'send a Hullo' feature, which allows you to record and send short messages to your friends for FREE *

STEP ONE:

Multiple Contact numbers

So im having an issue, when i type a contacts name in SMS, it brings up all their numbers, home, work, mobile
Is there a fix for this??
Cheers,
I don´t think so. A workaround is create a contact to each number. Like steve mobile, steve home, and so on.
Try setting the number you want as the person's default contact number. That might help. Otherwise, you can just type in the first few digits of the number and it'll figure out the rest for you.
Thanks,
I like to have all my contacts with their numbers consolidated, but it looks like a google bug (coming from a Desire HD) im pretty sure HTC sense never displayed home or work numbers :S
Ohwell i will deal with it.. for now..
cheers
Some SMS apps (such as Go SMS or HandCent) have a tick box option in the settings to 'show mobile numbers only'.

[Q] SMS with phonenumber instead of name in text

Hi all,
I often get SMS messages like "one missed call from +43650989898989", but I want to see the name instead of the number. Is there an app which can do that?
I use CM7, no special apps. My contacts are all stored with country code (+43bla).
At the moment I have to click on the number, the phone app opens and I have to call the number and then I get the contacts name displayed on the screen, which is really annoying.
Thanks!
David
