Is there a small utility that will allow me to copy numbers from the call history and add new numbers to exisitng contacts instead of only new contacts on my mda compact?
when i right click i often have to chose send txt msg then copy the number which takes forever
also, if you add to a new number and then delete it it enters the number in the history as either unnamed or unknown caller. if you add this number to an existing contact it doesn't update the list? is this normal or is it just my phone? is there a way to update the list from the existing contacts list?
many thanks in advance

I noticed that everytime I send a sms from my contacts their names are not shown and only their number. Is there anyway the names of contact appear instead of their number?
Thank You.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Come on u techies, let us mere mortals know if this can be done and if so how? or should that be how much? :wink:
Re: Bump
Search for Paragon Software sms_name.
The program sms_names will only show the names of contact when a sms is recieved. It does'nt help in showing the names of your receipient when sending the message to them. Their numbers are shown instead of there names.....
I have to double check if the number appearing matches to the name of the contact.
you can tab & hold on a contact then select "Send sms" ... this will display only the number ... but in an empty sms if you click the "To" field and type the first 3 letters and then select the name this will display the name as well ... weird but true!!
Thank you for that advice . It did work. One more question. How do you do it if you would like group sending?
Thank you.
unfort. there is no concept of groups in pOutlook ... one good trick would be selecting the required names then copy the "To" part and paste it into a text file for future usage
SMS Group
There is the way to send sms to group. I should
1. buy Pocket Informant
2. create groups
3. check numers belong to certain group
4. hold and click Extras-Send SMS
This procedure will open inbox with checking contacts.

Hi,
On my MDA, when I go to the contacts, I don't see the phone numbers but only the name of them and it's well (I have choosen to display them like this in the options)...
But when I want to send a SMS and I go to the contacts by this way, the name AND the phone number is displayed ?!?!
How can I only display the names in the sms application too ?
Thanks in advance...

You can't, as this view does not have any option to choose which number should be used. So it displays the contact one time for each attached number.
Hi,
I would like simply to copy a phone number from the history phopne list.
All there is now is the annoying option "Save to contacts". This option forces me to paste the number in a new phone contact etc.
Does anybody know how to tweak the system in order to copy directly from phone history list?
Well that "Save to contacts" is a good feature. Anyway, how else do you want it to be?
Don't want to "Save to contacts"!
I want to paste the phone number anywhere I want: Memo, Word, Exel etc.
The regular version forces me to copy/pase it from contacts. Also, I need to erase the new undesired contact each time I copy-paste a new phone number.
Same goes for SMS. No copy function there....very strange.
I have an O2 atom exec.When a missed call occurs, if that number belongs to an old contact, I do not know how I add that number to the old contact. if I want to add that number to the old contact, it seems there is no way to add, it only let me open an NEW contact but I do not want to save that number as a new contact, because it belongs to an old contact. Is there a way to add a missed call number ( that is shown in the call history ) to an old contact? Please help me...

hi,
I don't think there is any way to update a contact with the number in the phone history - this is a basic function on all other phones (nokia etc). Here's what i do...
Tap on the contact in the phone history and click on the "send text message" pop up. The contact number is now displayed on the sms screen in the TO column. From here, you can cut and paste anywhere!
I have another problem with my phone.
It doesn't show sms senders name. The sender IS in my contact list, but still, it doesn't show.
Some registry tweak or what?
I tried searching, but "name" and "no" are not included in the search
Some registry tweak or what?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
by default no, it works automatically, maybe you have the contacts list with spaces in the number ?!
related question:
I get an sms from a person not in my contacts list, i select to add it and set a name, but in Pocket Outlook i keep seeing just the number... is this correct? in my K800i once i add the contact in the address book i see name in sms list.
I have absolutely no spaces in numbers.

Still need help.
