Suppose i have multiple phone no.s in a contact with all of them having whatsapp. And if i send talk to that contact on whatsapp will the messages go to all numbers?
I had someone else's no. under my friends name in my contacts, that no. also has whatsapp, so when i was talking to my friend was the message going to that no. as well?
No. Although the multiple numbers may appear together in your phone's contacts, each number appears separately in whatsapp. Suppose if a contact has 2 numbers, his name would be listed twice in whatsapp contact list, each for a different number. Usually this is in the same order as it appears in your phone's contacts. If you send a message to one number, it goes to only that number and not to all numbers under the same name

Owh. Ok. I understand what you mean. It does open up the entire list of numbers for that contact but the messages are sent to only the first number listed there. Suppose, your friend Jack has two numbers +1 and +2, both with whatsapp. If you click on one number and it shows:
Jack
Mobile +1
Mobile +2
the message will be sent only to the +1 number. On the other hand if you click the other number, it will then show:
Jack
Mobile +2
Mobile +1
the message will be sent only to the +2 number.
They aren't sent to all the numbers. I'm sure of that

When it opens the contact details within whatsapp, a phone icon and whatsapp icon [latter depends on that number having whatsapp] are next to the numbers. If you tap the number or the phone icon, it will take you to the dialer screen or keypad of your phone, like you're calling him/her. If you click the whatsapp icon, it will take you to the chat within whatsapp.
Does that clear your doubt? If it doesn't, post a screenshot of the problem.

I have a contact number that can not be in list of select contact, even I changed phone number with a + sign, followed by the country code or not.
The other phone numbers is normal that shown in whatsapp select contact (automatically) except that number.
My number and that number are already installed whatsapp.
What can I do?

I don't know if this thread deserves a seperate space in this forum but I'd really like to disable the group of numbers when I dial or some incoming call comes in. Like when I enter any number first 3 number goes into a brick "(234)-234-234" and rest has also this grouping kinda thing, does anyone know how to disable this thing?
Also I have another problem. This one is funny. When u save number like 99111199 with some name then when I receive a sms message it comes like +(country code)99111199 and name appears if u saved it in the phonebook right? But my phone doesn't do that and i see just numbers....

set regional settings to australia
I set it to British and now its ok , but sms problem hasn't solved yet.
is it possible to send a text message as restricted?
Restricted to what? The sender? Who else would receive it except the sender you specified?
just the recipient. just like a restricted call. *67 blocks your number from caller id. is there a way to block your number from a text message so it shows up on the recipients phone as 'unknown' or 'restricted'?
go to a website that can send a txt message and dont put your number in?
Oh you mean, hidden sender.
There was an app to do that awhile back, but certainly not in the native SMS app on the phone.
I would just use www.vtext.com
J
word. cool i never new about vtext. thansk

heck yes i am. minus the fact that if i send a restricted text that means i cant put a call back number on it. the reason i first thought of it was because some kid was bothering my little sister, and i wanted to message the kid without him getting my number. but i ended up calling him anyways

Its in the manual...
But, find the contact in the People app and then press and hold the number for a list of options... one being, set as default number.

I was wondering is there any way to Assign a Name to Non-Contact Numbers ?
So, when someone who is not in my Contacts calls me it will display the name i choose
Like "Stranger" or "Do not answer" or "Unknown Caller" etc...

Isn't this usually connected to the fact if the caller sends the number or hides it? I assume even if one of your contacts calls and he hides his number you wouldn't see, but I might be wrong.

So, I'm not concerned about that
I'm asking is there any way to Assign a Single name to All NON-CONTACT numbers ?
Withou decompiling phone.apk etc I doubt it, but you can auto reject all unknown contacts
Hello Members
Does anyone know, or has noticed that even if I pick a contacts mobile number and make it the 'default' in the phones address/contacts book, if then go to type an SMS message entering the persons name in the 'To: ' it still won't pick the 'default' number in it's listings first, but choose the landline number of the contact as first number in the drop down.
It's important if you want to use an app for Sending SMS messages on the new Smartwatch 2, as doing so will send the message to the landline number.
Any ideas please.
Kind regards

A quick fix would be to split it and create 2 contacts one for the mobile and one for the landline. Not ideal but its a workaround.
