I am having an issue where for certain of my contacts their mobile number will not show up in the stock address book or text messaging apps.
I use Touchdown to synch with my corporate exchange.
Everything works fine and the contact shows a mobile number in Touchdown. And almost all of my other contacts also show all the correct info when accessed through the Contacts stock app (which can display all the touchdown contacts) and through the SMS app.
Bu for some reason for a very small number of my contacts, when I try to text them or when I open them through the Contacts app, I just cannot get the mobile number to appear.
Any ideas?

Hi, I just flashed 6.1.1 and I really rely on the fact that my Facebook Contacts can sync with my GMail to create one big list. In the contacts app I see both groups just as I need. However, if I download an app such as GO SMS which replaces the default sms client, the only contacts recognized are that of Gmail and on my SIM card. The facebook contacts will only appear as numbers. Now having over 500 facebook contacts I cannot just add them all thats ridiculous. But, if I go into the default SMS client then the contact appears with name and picture...
Any ideas as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.
How can I transfer the contacts from WM 6 to Windows Phone?
A quick search found the Outlook method, but I don't use Outlook and I don't have the app. Another way is copying each contact to SIM and then transfering but that is very time consuming.
Any other ways?
At least in Nokia there is a Contact Transfer application in the application menu. This works like a charm.
I don't think ActiveSync has that option.
You can transfer all your contacts to "cloud" from google: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299. On WP7 device add this account like exchange serwer and done. But you have to remember:
10. Check Contacts, Calendar, or Email, depending on which you'd like to sync. (Tasks is not supported and will lead to an error if checked.)

Here is what I did.
Saved contacts as cbf file to my PC and imported in my Google Mail account.
Now, I synced WP7 with the Gmail account. The contacts are there in the list with the numbers and I cannot call. There's no option or button for that.
EDIT: Now I checked the contacts in my Gmail account. The First, Middle and Last name are fine but the numbers are saved as notes, like
Mobile: **********
FileAs: First, Last name
I think, I got a fix for this.
If anyone any export any 1 or 2 contacts from their Gmail account which must have mobile tel, and preferrably work tel, home tel and email also and send the file to me.
You can replace the numbers by 00 or anything. Export in CSV file.
I just need the 'Fields' the gmail uses for numbers.
I am using imobiletool contacts.
It seems with the stock email app synching contacts from an Exchange server is an all or nothing ordeal.
Currently I'm working with the nothing option by having previously synched all my exchange contacts in, backed up to gmail contacts, broke the Exchange contact sync and pruned gmail contacts and resynchronized to gmail contacts.
The problem is as I add contacts in Outlook I have to add them manually to my phone as well since there are a lot of contacts in Exchange I do not want on my phone.
My coworker's Motorola Droid allowed for synching only Exchange contacts by category. That is, categories are assigned on Outlook and the list of categories is loaded onto the phone and from the phone a category can be checked or unchecked to be included or excluded for synching.
This seems to be an appropriate solution for being selective about which Exchange contacts actually end up in my phone contacts. Unfortunately I'm not seeing such an option in the stock app. Is there such an option and if not is there an Exchange capable email app that does [provide this functionality without sacrificing the otherwise useful functionality of the stock app?
Thanks for the help!

I'd love to see this too. It would make it so much easier with BT voice dialing.
I'd like to access all my contacts with a single app. For each contact, it lists known phone numbers, email addresses, IM usernames, etc., and when you tap one, it launches the relevant app for initiating communication through that method. E.g., tapping an email address opens Gmail, tapping a Facebook username opens Messenger, and tapping a phone number begins a phone call or SMS app.
Do any contacts programs connect to Hangouts? I'm currently using the People app that comes with Cyanogenmod, but it omits Skype and Hangouts associated with my contacts.
My mom just picked up Galaxy Tab 2, and I was over there all afternoon trying to sync her contacts. I exported all of her contacts from Windows Live Mail as a csv file. I imported them into her Gmail account, and they all show up on the Gmail site. I logged into her Gmail account on the Tab, and clicked on sync contacts. When I click on the Contacts icon, all of the contacts I imported, are in there. When she opens the Gmail app, and tries to send an email to someone in the contacts list, she begins typing their name, and the contact doesn't show up, like it does on my Galaxy S3. I tried the stock email app, and there is an address book where you would type the recipient. There are only 4 contacts in there, and they are the ones she manually entered. Shouldn't the imported contacts be showing up in the stock email app? What am I missing here?
