Multiple Mobile Phone Numbers in 1 Contact ?

I ran into an interesting thing witch now became problem when using windows mobile phone :
1 contact cant have more than 1 mobile phone !!! Many of my contacts have 2-3 mobile
phones witch they use for different areas or different types of calls, and i can only enter
1 mobile phone and others i have to use as Home, office etc. Now i dont know wether i am
noob who doesnt know to enter another mobile phone either in Contacts on the device itself
nor in Outlook Express on PC, or the Microsoft scre*ed up on such a simple issue, but even
if i enter the phone as Home or Office, i do not have some options to send SMS/MMS to them
and similliar stuff. Can anyone enlight me in this this way? Cheers.

Use iContact.. Problem Solved!

"Can't send message. Try again."

Since this morning, I can't send any more text messages on my htc HD7
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Totally my fault, problem has been fixed.

You are right.
I once encountered such can't sent message problem. It was because of poor signal. I cannot make phone calls at that time either.

My carrier made it impossible for me to send text messages. It was a mistake on their behalf and the problem got fixed.

I have the same problem, I have some clues but not the answer. I only can’t send a sms/text if I create / enter the mobile no from my Windows Live account!
In the below tests I am using the same mobile no
Test 1
I create a new contact on my Windows Live account (web browser) and enter a mobile no, I sync my phone with Hotmail and the new contact appears on the phone. When I send an sms I get the message "can't send message try again"
Delete that contact from all locations
Test 2
I create a new contact on my PC using Outlook, and enter a mobile no, (I have the Hotmail plugin) , I send/receive from outlook. I sync my phone with Hotmail and the new contact appears on the phone. When I send an sms it goes through fine.
Delete that contact from all locations
Test 3
I create a new contact on my phone and enter a mobile no. When I send an sms it goes through fine.
Delete that contact from all locations
Test 4
As no Test 1 Windows Live account, sync with phone When I send an sms I get the message "can't send message try again". Now edit phone and delete mobile no, re-enter mobile no on phone. When I send an sms I get the message "can't send message try again"
So conclusion
Its not the phone number format, but must be something in the contact information that Windows Live creates. Any ideas please.

In which software do we change settings - phone, Internet Explorer Outlook ?
Please explain
Re Dave

In the system settings, the main settings.
I think that sometimes having accentuated letters causes thaf issue. That was my case.p

[Q] Inc. SMS Name/Number inconsitency

Hi,
I have noticed that some (not all) incoming SMS display the sender's phone number instead of this name. The sender seems to be properly set up and I can not find any obvious difference.
Anyone got an idea how to always get the name on incoming SMS?
Another issue, some sender appear without their photo. In the contact list they show their photo correctly.
thx

On my device is name and number... Anyone know how to disable numbers in text messages?

Settings-power-fast boot (uncheck it)
Turn off your phone wait a few seconds and switch it on.
Boom! Working
Must be some sort of fast boot state save or something

I also found it on my DS yet, and try to solve with cleaning the data and cache of SMS in Settings->Application->Manage->SMS.
you should have a try as my recommendation

[Q] App whats app how to deactive a fake account

Hi,
One of my friend lost her smart phone she did everything to block the telephone and all that. Now, somebody is using fake id with her name and had been using Whatsapp with her name and using her contact number.
Is there any way to deactivate that account ?

When you lose a phone, first thing to do is inform all your contacts (via SMS from another phone) about the lost phone. If you do this, then all your associated contacts won't mind or ignores the messages or calls received from that number, as they'd be knowing its fake (I guess a Contacts Backup has been made into computer or synced with Gmail). And the next thing to do is, inform your Network/SIM operator and block the SIM. Anyways I'm still not sure, whether Whatspp will work on blocked SIM's or it just needs a working number at the time of its activation?! Have a look at these --> Whatspp FAQ, and see whether something mentioned on it helps.

well !! she tried contacting whatsapp support team through mail and the response is still awaited. The contacts have been informed about this but still using fake status and propagating wrong things about a person cannot be permitted.
I wonder if there is a way to deactivate the account using website or some software etc

I'm assuming you can't get a new simcard with the same number? And than have the old one in the lost phone blocked ofcourse. Cause than you could just reactivate whatsapp on a other phone which makes it unactivated on the lost phone.

Question Some Contacts not showing Names in Phone Application

Just got my hands on S22 Ultra Snapdragon. It appears I have the HK Variant? (SM-S9080/DS, CSC: S9080OZS2AVDC)
The issue appears to be that some contacts are showing numbers rather than the names. (Phone being used in the Middle East). The problem appears to be with the contacts with the international code but it is not the case for all of them. However, when I switch the application to "Phone" by google, it is all correctly displayed.
Any way I can fix the Samsung phone application? Thanks

As a guess, if Arabic characters are used maybe that's the issue with Samsung app? In any case, report it via Samsung Members app.

I've contact saved with +44 123456776 where +44 is the country code.
When I make call, it shows the correct name. However when I recevie a call, as the call is coming from 123456776 without country code, only number is displayed and contact does show up (As it was saved with a country code). Not sure if this make sense and I am struggling to understand why it would do it.
The mobile was purchased in HK so could it be something to do with the different region? Thanks

Found this which is my issue;
Contacts not recognized when receiving a call
I've just got my Galaxy s7 edge and everything seems to work fine apart from my contacts. I have an Exchange Server account connected for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts; and all my contacts have been synchronized with the phone. The problem is that...
forum.xda-developers.com
Appears to be a regional issue. Any idea which rom can I flash to fix this issue? The device is S9080 and the current CSC is BRI. Thanks
