Is there an easy way to add a new contact from a txt? What I mean is, say you get a txt from someone not in your contacts. Instead of their name, their number shows up. Is there a way to make a new contact with them without have to write the number down and adding it manually?

don't think so...you have to copy it and then paste into the dialer and then save to contacts
When your in the txt message, press menu key and then you'll get the option add to person, and then make a new contact with that number. That is how it works with mine so it should work on yours to.
short press on the message from the number that isn't in your contacts, then select add contact.

Say a person that is not in my contact list calls me on my XDA, although I can see the number in the phone application, I cannot just copy it or easily create a new contact using the number unless I write it down on paper first, a bit of an oversight by MS or am I missing something?
you can do it by going into call history and pressing and holding with the stylus on the number you want to save.

And what to do if I want to add the number to an existing contact?
Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for the answer,

Think you are stuck unless there is some third party software that can do it.
Hi all,
@Urosh:
Just create a new contact the way junglejim discribed, open this new contact, mark the number, press and hold pen, copy the phone number to the other contact. Thats all. Without using a paper to write the number down.
Perhaps it is a long way to get there, but it works.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:
How about; press-and-hold, then select 'send sms', then copy from 'to' field into your existing contact.
Still a bit long, but getting there!
hi
I want to add a number from Call History to one of my existing contacts (i.e, add to home telephone of an existing contact)
However, when hold and tap number in Call History, it open a new contact instead of letting us choose an existing contact
Any program that can let us do that
My device is O2 XDA IIi
Thanks
Tuan
There isn't any way around this, though maybe there will be in WM2005 or through a third party program.
It's something that annoys me, too. The way round it is to get it up as a New contact, then copy the number and cancel saving the contact, go to the correct contact and add it that way.
Bit long winded, but other than writing it down by hand or remembering it I don't think there's any other way.
Cheers

Hey Guys..
Simple trick....
Tap and hold the number in the call history
Then select option "Send Text Message"
Then copy/cut that Number and paste in the contacts
Then cancel the message
I hope, this sounds OK
Hi all, when I receive a phone call from an unknown number, I can open the
context menu for this call in my call history and create a new contact with this
new number. But is it possible to add this new number to an already
stored contact, like it is possible with Symbian devices?
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
Select "Send text message" from context menu then copy the number at "To:" box. Open new contact then paste the number from clipboard.
no "out of the box" solution, without clipboard?
since i was using the SEP900, it was very easy for me to that, but now i have to do it like the mentioned way.
i couldn't find a dirct way to do it.
too bad, but thx anyway!
In my contacts I have a mobilephonenumber and want to enter a second mobile number.
I want if I create an new textmessage charge a in the field: having two mobilenumbers for selecting without having to lay out the contact twice.
Maybe, the second idea ist to allow a textmassage to a landlinenumber…..
Fact is....if I create a new massage, write into the field: TO...there is just showing the mobilenumber....and just ONE.....
Do you have any ideas…Thanks a lot.
Greetings

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.
