This seemed to be a feature of the phone as stated in the user manual. But when I try to add a favorite contact, it asks me to choose one of their numbers, whereas according to the manual one should be able to see all the numbers from that person on screen.
When you do add the person to the favourites, whichever number you have chosen it will add the person along the right side of the screen and when you tap that person it will show all (most?) of their numbers including home, mobile and work, plus a button to send email and one for text (assuming that contact has all those numbers and email address). The selection of which number you choose just determines which number is the default number.
Well, yes, that's what it should be doing but it doesn't. It just shows two icons: a phone (this is for the primary number) and a write message button. Maybe there is an option in the config menu... I'll check.
More than one number in contacts
No problem here with stock rom:

Standard (mobile) phone number, work phone number, and home phone number next to write sms and write mail.
Done nothing special, was like this since i first added this contact.
I have it with all contacts with more than one number.
The number you choose is the default number, with this contact i choose mobile that's why there is a m: in front of the phone nummber.
This number will be choosen when you press the call hardware button.
Thanks. That's what I should get but I don't. I don't think there is an option to enable that so I just need to wait and see if anybody else gets the same problem. The phone is new, so I have WinMo 6.1.
I know where the problem lies: I have a contact with a mobile and a car number. It won't show the car number for some reason. But if I add other numbers, home number for instance, it will. Could you check if it will show the car number in your phone? Thanks

Same here, when i cut and paste the work number to car number it doesn't show up anymore on favorite contacts.
It show at least: mobile, work and home, use one of these for phonenumbers.
Who has a carphone these days? maybe Bill Gates is the onlyone!
It is not such a big problem, but I tend to use the car number when a person has 2 mobile numbers, so that i can leave work and home numbers free for their respective uses.

Here is some new dialer. I like it a lot. Especially in car.
http://www.mesoftware.co.nr
It's more comfortable than original one.
T9-like search of contacts from dialer itself. Dial any number from contacts with 4-5 finger taps max.
Quickly accessed picture dialing.
Changable skins.
Only things that lack are - quick access to call history and to new note.
But the developers promise to add soon.
Looks really nice. Good alternative to Finger Clix which I have already purchased.
Unfortunately, it can not map to the default green phone key - probably not possible at all unless you replace a system dll.
Regards
Michael
give this a try... MobiDial

Excellent program JaToAc but it is a bit slow to load once you press the green phone key. I am missing something or is not possible that when you enter a number directly to be able click somewhere to store the number as a new contact. So far I have not been able to do this with any of the dialers I have tried. Any info would be appreciated.
you cant do it with both dialers (adding a number from the dialer)
but phoneplus is the best dialer there is today.
mobidial is too slow and not using quick search for contacts, which is really dumb cause it does the same thung the default does (so why buy).
i bought the phoneplus and really enjoying every second, plus the writers of the program are intending on improving it a lot.
Silly question but what is T9 dialling?? I have seen it mentioned lots of times here but I have no clue what it is.
Thanks

Dialing with your contacts woth the keys of a normal phone, so for the b you press the 2 and for the a you press the 2 again, for the r you press the 7 and for the t the 8. Then you can call Bart...
Has anyone found another way around this? When you go to Messaging > New message...do you really have to put in a phone number or can you type a name instead?
Because If i type in a name, it just types in the numerical equivalent of the letters. for example: Ryan Smith comes out to "7926 76484"
Does Google actually think that people will memorize the phone numbers of the contacts they want to text message?
So the way around it for now is to go to Contacts and click on "Send Txt Message" but I've been spoiled with the Dash where I can just search for the contacts in the messaging client itself.
when I go to messaging>new message and I type in a name, it has a list to select from. The first is the numerical equivalent, but under that are all the matching names in my phone book. Is yours not like this?

Me too....
it's weird cuz i do. since there is no program that takes screenshots of the g1 yet, i took a picture:

i tried typing in Cheryl Addeco (don't worry, it's not a real name haha) and it never displayed the phone number I inputed 14089994433. Instead, it just did the "numerical equivalent" of 243795 233326
weird... it should show below it did on mine... I will get screen shots tomorrow of what I do.
i get a list of my contacts as well not sure why this is happenning to some and not others.
yeah i,ve had that problem with i first got the phone.
I didn't use Gmail for contacts much.
I exported my contacts from outlook using CSV
and then imported them into gmail when i got my G1.
I was having the same exact problem as the OP.
I've noticed a pattern with it though.
It only happened with some contacts.
Other contacts it would show up when i started typing their name.
I tried to find something in common with the ones that showed up.
I realized that when i had a POS nokia 6131, when i added contacts it saved their number as "Other"
When i added contacts with my iphone, i had a chance to select it as "Mobile".
The contacts that show, have (Mobile) next to the names.
So i went into my Gmail, and edited all the numbers to be Mobile as opposed to Other.
After i finished that everything was fine!
All of them are Mobile...if they're supposed to be in Mobile. Interestingly enough, I tried playing around with changing them from Mobile to Home and when I click on save, it doesn't save the changes and leaves it to whatever it was.
The ONLY number that shows up is the one I added. I noticed though when I looked in GMail contacts that for the person that shows up, it says "mobile" and the rest of my contacts say "Mobile"

So just to verify, there is no cost involved in using "spoofapp" Right?
I use a spoof calling card (spoofcard.com). It's a great tool, but I'd love to have an app on my phone (it's inconvenient calling an 800#, entering my calling card number, entering my destination number, entering my desired caller id number, etc....). Do you know if I can enter my card details on this app, or do I have to buy their service?
EDIT: haha, awesome, it works with the spoofcard!

bluffmycall working
ok people it is up and running, at least on tmobile tp2 with stocked rom. it allows u to make a free two min. calls to any phone number and allows you to put a fake number on the caller id, home or land line will show the name too.
the program is on my sd card. the app itself isn't flashy, it is just a plain white screen, with places to put the numbers. the only problem is it say that the free version doesn't not allow recording or voice change which kinda sucks. but this one is free. spoof app allow voice changeing and recording, but cost $5 for 25credits. but when you sign up you get 6 free credits, then after those are going if you want to use it you must by credits
when I try it it says it is placing the call and to press ok if it's correct and cancel if it's wrong. Regardless of what I press it just goes back to the 'make call' screen.
for which one are you talking about? spoof app or bluff my calls?
i tried the bluff.cab program but its telling me that i must insert a calling code (011) or + or something similar to that...is there an easier way to use this or can someone help me figure out how to use this...thanks in advance

Yepp! You gotta search for apps, bro
Call Firewall + SMS Blocker - DOWNLOAD
Call Firewall basically rejects unwanted call , it acts a call and SMS filter program and based on the rules set by the used it can reject incoming calls and sms . It can also enable call barring. Imagine you have this really annoying friend and don’t wanna attend his/her call , then you set that persons number in Black list and as soon as they call you the call disconnects. It also lets you reject a call with a predefined SMS , which is sent to the caller.

All info from 1800PocketPC, the best WinMo app site ever!
I was searching for a Thread, that has all the toggles posted at one spot, so I am starting this Thread.
Here You can Post all the toggles requests and as well the actual file/links.
Thanks
My First Request: Anyone has a toggle to turn the caller's ID on/off, or be able to assign it to a number key on a dial pad? e.g. Long Press 8 and your caller ID for your next call is blocked, or Press 8 again or an other key to have your caller ID shown.
There are times that you want to keep your caller ID hidden, for whatever reason, but for the next call you want to show it. However it takes for ever to go to menu from the dial pad to options>Services>Caller ID hit the get settings, and select Provide my caller ID to Everyone, No One or Only to contacts.
I was thinking if there was a toggle, that would be nice, I mean about five or six years ago, I had this small seaman phone, which had this option.
My 2nd Request. A phone card toggle, I used to have this sonyerickson, the first PDA type of phone. Where if supposed I needed to make an international call, I would buy a normal phone card, and input the 1800 number, and the PIN code, and when I wanted to make an international call, by selecting that area code which I had pre-stored in that application, It would use my phone card's minute hence not charging my phone for international calls, I stilled used my minute but that was only for that 1800 call number.
Here were the advantages of that system:
1. It didn't use my phone plan to call international, and only used my calling card for the international calls.
2. I didn't have to dial the PIN code each time I wanted to make an international call, imagine doing that while driving. Hence made my life more easy, and more safe.
3. I didn't have to memorize all that many numbers, once I bought the card I would input the 1800 number, and the PIN, and that it, all I just had to worry is dialing a regular phone number.
Anything like this for the window mobile?

another option is MagiCall by Mobiion, I use it and on top of the feature you are looking for, it provides a full suite of call and SMS management.
