Show company name on incomming call - HD2 General

Hello,
Is it possible to show company name on incoming call on HD2. I want to have not only name, surname and telephone but also company name.

The only way i can think is to rename your phone book and put company name in "first name" and persons ful name in "last name" or vise versa. Hope this helps

Unknown caller ID problem

I have some contacts saved in my contact list, but when that person calls. It showed up unknown caller. I tried to deleted that number and save it again. But it still shows unknown caller. Some other contacts are fine. Anyone had this problem and has a solution? Is there anything to do with restore? I did a restore recently.
don't know if it helps, but try to save the numbers with the country prefix in the contact.
for example in France here, I save them as +33654321 instead of 0654321, cause I had the same problem some time ago
This doesn't have anything to do with the Wizard - if the Wizard shows "unknown caller" it means that the caller's phone doesn't send the number (the caller can change that, depending on the SIM card - and the caller can also tell the telecom provider of his home phone whether he wants his number to be sent when calling!)...
No way to change that for you, sorry!
I have tried adding the prefix, but still doesnt work!
The number from the caller is not hidden, because the number is displayed, but not the name in the contact list.
for example:
Incoming call
'Unknown Caller'
0709XXXXXX
I have tried to delete and save the contact again, but still the same!!
Oh, so I misunderstood...
Sorry, but then I don't have any idea...
Not sure if this helps. I had the same experience with my other phone (not Pocket PC type), which shows unknown caller even I'm very sure I had his number on my phone, I deleted the number and put it back again, same problem. AND, after all the stuggle, I've finally noticed the problem, which is the fact that I had his name entered twiced (e.g. two contacts, different name with same number). The phone probably got it confused and refused to display a name.
I would suggest, that you remove your problematic contact, try dialing his number on the keypad, and see if the name appears (e.g. the other possible contact that has the same number). If not, then it is not this problem, I guess.
Was about to say, I got this problem, turned out to be a duplicate contact - the phone can't decide who it is, so displays nothing. Pfff.
Be nice if it displayed a list of possible contacts, but...
Delete any duplicate contacts and it should go away.

Prioritizing Called ID display for Multiple Contacts with Same Phone Number

I'm running 6.1 MR1 and sync my contacts with an Exchange Server.
I have a number of contacts that have the same office phone number, and I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to specify which contact info is displayed by Called ID when there is more than one person/entity with that phone number in my contacts.
For example, say I have individual contacts for the ABC Company, John Doe and Jane Smith. All three have the same work telephone number. When I get a call from that phone number, it could be John Doe, Jane Smith or anyone else at the ABC Company calling. Let's say that in this situation, my caller ID display always shows the incoming caller as John Doe. Is there any way to tell Windows to display the caller as the ABC Company information when it receives a call from this number instead.
I've embarrassed myself too many times thinking one person was calling when in fact it was someone else!!!
Thanks!
I've love to be able to do this too.
My problem is that I have a shared address book with all workers at my business with home as well as work numbers. My name and number are obviously in there. In a different book I have my wife's name and our home number. Whenever she calls, my name, as it's alphabetically before here, shows up first. I've tried putting a period or space before her first name hoping that it would move her up on the list, but it moves her down to the last spot of people with the same last name, and I can't change my name in the shared book.
If you're working off personal address books, I'd see if you can fudge the names so that the one you want to appear shows up alphabetically first. Then I think that's the one that gets grabbed with Caller ID
the other option. if you can edit your contacts. Would be to remove the work phone number from the individual contacts. That way it only shows for 'ABC' Company.
Thanks, Nec . . . I've removed the work numbers for the individuals as a half-baked work around. The problem is that some of them are favorite contacts (Spb Shell), so if I want to call them at work, I have to go through the directory instead of just using the picture shortcut.

Multiple Cellular Numbers per Contact

Somebody Knows if can I add two or more cellular number to same contact ?
Maybe with registry edititing?
would be interested in that as well. but I think that's not supported, as there is no such field in MS Outlook (desktop) as well... If a contact has more than one cellular number, I always store it as "car number", but a "real" second cellular field would be helpful...

the name of the field is for me not as important as the functionality... E.g. when you open a contact, you have the "send sms" feature only for the mobile number, not for the car number... and when you get an sms it's not possible to find out from which number it came, if the contact person has a "cellular" and a "car number", as only the name without number is displayed in the sms header...
this wouldn't be solved by simply renaming the field...

I experienced the same problem, since "more than one" mobile numbers for a person is getting very popular nowadays, and it is expected to be even more popular in the future. The operating system (both in device and desktop Outlook) must notice this issue and resolve it

dialer problem, caller id

Hi.
I've got problem with displaing contacts from outlook during incoming call. I'm using contacts with "save as" option: NAME, SURNAME (COMPANY NAME) - somtimes it's quite long string . It is usefull when some times I don't remenber name of gay, but remenber name of his company. For some reason phone is displaying centerized part of NAME, SURNAME (COMPANY NAME) cutting start and end of contact - so I don't know who is calling
Is there any possibility to change it
Thanks in adwance

[Q] Better Dialer Screen

Hi Guys.
I have a sugession and request as well. There is something very important missing in Manila Dialer screen.
When call comes, in Tytn II, it shows Caller Name, Number, His Company name and Designation (if stored with name). But in manila, this is missing.
I request you, if it is possible to make something in that way. I have several contacts with the same name from different companies and when a call cames I never know what person is really calling. It would be great if we can have a dialer screen with Picture, Name, Company name and number.
I have searched and searched and I could not find what I need.
Thanks & Best Regards

I don't believe this has anything to do with manila but with the phone canvass or dialer.
Whether or not this can be added I don't know.
Thanks for your reply.
Any ideia how to change canvas or dialer? I think I can only change colors and fonts on the dialer.
Any possibility to change the fields that are displayed and add the company name too?
The incoming call screen in Phone Canvas displays whatever you have the name filed as in your contacts. Why not file it differently? You know, you can add a company name to a contacts information and have the company name display in parentheses right after their name. That way, it will display in that format in your calls too. Just a suggestion...
Thanks for your suggestion, but I use my phone mainly for business and I need to file name and company in diferent fields. I really need a company field on dialer screen so I can quicly identify who is calling me. I have 912 contacts and isn't easy to remember where each contact works.
