Whenever I try using the dialer to find a persons phone number it shows a list of people with their numbers. When you click a number it shows you a list of all their numbers, but not the label (ie. Home, Work, Mobile, etc.) Is there a way to set this up?

How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?
Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?
(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)
Thanks for anwser
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.
When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.
Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).
EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).
At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.
Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.
thanks guys
Just a quick one... had to reset the phone, When I used to send text messages, In the 'to' if I started typing a name there would be an option along with the '97686789' that comes up in the green suggestion box of the contact name, Now I just get the numbers that correspond to the letters that are meaningless. Is there a setting to get that back that offers me the names in that drop down?
Also, when I receive a text from someone in my phone book, it just shows their number and not their name, depsite them being on the sim, but not the phone, Is that relevant? Does it only show contacts when on phone not sim, and when I transferred sim to phone and you have the option of 'if there are duplicates only show phone' it still showed all duplicated in people and phonebook. And the sim number decreased from 197 to 123, This phone is NUTS!
P.S. Anyone else not get the weather for their area but did when they first had the phone, and now it comes up 'no data available' with just the name of your location instead.
Will this impending update be automatic?
When I go to send a text message, aka starting to enter a number to text, too often it tries to make me text a home phone and I have to go out of my way to select the mobile phone.
How can this be resolved, whether by telling the message app to ignore home phones or at least prioritize mobile phones as #1?
I believe you can set the default number for each contact in the stock contacts app.
Just go to the details of a contact and long press the number you want as the default. It should be an option in the popup menu.
I have this small but very annoying problem with a stock contacts.
When I have the calling card phone numbers in a single contact that all starts with the same 1800 number and then after the pause (,) the actual number to call, the contacts app shows only the first one.
Example:
contact with
18000000000,0110000000001
18000000000,0110000000002
18000000000,0110000000003
Shows only the first entry for the phone available to dial.
Any solutions? I've tried a few third party apps but those that show the numbers correctly don't dial it. They basically skip the , in the dialer.
So I have tried about 10 apps so far that none seem to do what I am looking to accomplish. I am hoping that someone may have a suggestion.
I have a dial in phone system that allows me access to a dial tone. So if want to be able to select a number from my history, contacts or a clickable link and have it prompt which dialer I want to use. If I choose this app it should dial MY number and enter my access code THEN dial the number I was trying to call.
So for example I am trying to call 212-555-1212 and my number is 212-666-1212 it should dial:
212-666-1212[mynumber],,[pause]1234[accesscode],,[pause] 212-555-1212
I have found a few apps that seem to do this, however they have integrated them in such a way where it will only automatically enter into the "Calling card mode" based on dialing rules (Such as area code and country code) there is no way to manually select when to utilize the "calling card mode" and when not to,
I was thinking if there is a Alternative Dialer that supports calling cards, it will add the necessary hooks into the OS and then I can just manually select which app to use to make calls (Either the stock dialer or this new dialer)
Have never looked into this kind of issue, but this seems like it might have the options you are looking for...?
