In the text messaging screen, does the contacts phone number have to be displayed in every single line?
Is there anyway to display just the contact name?
Thanks in advance!

do you have the numbers stored w/ the area code? (ie 1-123-456-7890)?

Yes - they're stored with the area code. They kinda have to be. So many of my contacts are out of state.

Is there a way to add to add 2 mobile numbers for the same contact? I don't why, but people do have more than one mobile, and I just cannot figure out why there is only one Mobile number category in the Contacts option. If anyone knows how to do this, it would be really nice to know. Thanks in advance.

Put the other number at Car field and you will be able to call and send SMS to that number using our device.
Thanks but even after entering it in the Car field I don't get the number when I type a new SMS. (I can send the SMS selecting it manually) It just suggests the number in the Mobile field... so back to square one.
you can create a new text message click contact -> navigate to the caller -> high light the car using your dpad. click menu then click sent text message to

Inesoft Address Book 1.8 or 2.0 has that feature. Just replace one of the fields (say fax,car,etc.) to mobile and you'll have two mobile numbers for a single contact..
Good day, all

are you assigning them to contacts saved to your "phone" instead of your "sim"?

make sure that the numbers that are saved as contacts have the area code in front of the number. if the incoming call has an area code in front of it and your stored contact does not, then your phone may see them as two separate numbers.

Am facing a strange problem with my new Nexus, In Messaging when am trying to compose a message, In TO option it doesn,t show nay name and not even show any names from contacts, For Example, in my Contacts there is a nmae JOHN, but When in Messaging TO Option when i Type J it soesn,t show any contacts started from J, Everytime i have to add the Mobile Number there or Send SMS via Contacts.
Help me regarding this
Unless you memorized the person's area code + number, the name will not appear when you composed regular texts. I have found the fastest way to compose texts is to scroll through the contacts, click the name, and then select the green message smiley. Adds a few seconds of time onto the composition, but you get faster with it when you're used to scrolling through your contacts.

That's not true. I type the first letter of the name and they show up. I know what your problem is too.
You need to edit your contacts and add the number as "Mobile". I assume right now you have them set as "Home" which is the default. Your phone doesn't display "Home" numbers when you're texting.

It was my understanding you had to type two letters to get the auto-suggest to pop up, not just one. Try "JO"...

You can type one or two. His problem is that he has their phone numbers set to "Home" instead of "Mobile".

Seriously, I've always (had a G1 since launch as well) had to type two letters before the suggestions came up, I'm actually testing this right now. Going through each letter of the alphabet, and nothing comes up with just one letter inputted. If your phone does it with one, I'd like to know how!

Oh well I guess you're right. I guess I've never stopped at one letter =P
But either way I know what he's talking about. My wifes number got changed to "Home" a while ago and it would NOT display her name in the TO field. I went to edit her contact and found that it said "Home" so I changed it to "Mobile" and it fixed it.
Speak of the devil. It just did it again and I just fixed it lol.
Hi guys.
Whenever someone calls to me the number only appears instead of their contact name in the address book. Why is that? The only difference I know of is that all my numbers are stored with the international prefix for my country. But whenever someone calls to me, the number showing is without the prefix.
This worked on all previous HTC and Windows Mobile phones - is this something new on WP7?? Or are there any settings I can edit somewhere?
I feel totally lost!
I also have all my contacts numbers stored with the international prefix, but I don't seem to have the problem you describe.
My contacts sync through Exchange.
Maybe try storing a number without the international prefix, and see if it shows the number or the contact.
In Settings\Applications\Phone there is a setting "International assist" which automatically corrects mistakes while dialing internationally or while abroad. Maybe try turning it on or off.
This is really weird. I too sync my contacts through Exchange, but I don't think that matters.
The weird part is when people call me the incoming call is without international prefix, so when the contact in my address book is stored with the international prefix, it doesn't show who's calling!! If I remove the prefix, it works as it should.
As for the text (SMS) messages they go through the SMS center, which apparently uses the international prefix, so all SMS' I receive are with the prefix so all my contacts which I have stored the prefix on, it displays their names, all without displays with only the number!
Really frustrating!!!!
Any ideas?

Since this is a general WP7 thing, I just assumed you guys would look in the general WP7 forum
u can save the number with the number code as a home number..!or if u have already the number with the number code in ur "people", save the number without the number code as a home number..!
Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete
For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.
...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
