Afternoon all,
If you enter a telephone number in Outlook 2003 as per its little interface, ie select the country, enter the area code then the local number, it stores it as:
+44 (01234) 567890
That all well and good.
If you then sync your PDA the number look like that in the contacts.
The only probem with this is that you then can't use the numbers for sending a text or making a call!
Anyone else found this?
Tom
try with +44 (1234) 567890

Summiter and others, would you consider altering the new 8125 ROM to allow SMS Messaging to send a SMS to an email address that is placed in the TO: field? Most PDA and cell phones allow you to send an email via SMS by simply entering the email address; this allows the contact email to be autopopulated from the address book. Currently, the 8125 only populates from telephone numbers, not email addresses, requiring you to place 36245 in the TO: field then manually enter the email address on the first line of the message body...cumbersome if you dont recall the email address.
I've searched and searched and cant find a fix. Other people are looking for the same solution.
If you want to use your 8125 as a pager replacement, this is critically important.
This is not something that can be "fixed" in the ROM. You need a 3rd party program that can do this.
As the title says, when I sync my S730 with Activesync 4.5 not all filled fields on my outlook 2003 contact lists are getting to the phone. Is there a way to fix this, where do I map additional fields?

Are the fields available on the phone? I actually had this problem too, but I forget with which fields... one of the crazy phone number fields available in Outlook.
As the first I would use Outlook 2007 and after that I would use only datas (columns) which content S730.
the field that is not getting to the phone is OTHER, I usually use it for people with a lot of contact number when I basically run out of the usual fields.

Am currently with T-Mobile and have the HTC Kaiser(or vario 3 as they call it).
As I have an unlimited internet usage on the phone, I just wondered if there was an easy way I can route a text to a mobile abroad via the web(and therefore text would be free).
I don't want to have to go to a website on the phone and do it, I'd prefer to be able to send like a normal text but to send it differently so it goes via web to the mobile.
What I wanted to do is replicate what you can do from a pc, which is send a normal style text from a website to a mobile. On the recieving mobile, it appears the same as any other text, so wouldn't need it's own internet connection.
Is this possible? How easy is it?
You can't do that
but you can do what I do
Setup your email account to send/receive to ur MS outlook mobile/ w/e ur email application is...and u can send texts by typing persons' number at watever..like
for at/ t [email protected] . ...tmobile [email protected]
verizon [email protected]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
these ppl will get the text and can reply to it...and when u get the reply in ur email inbox...it'll see the contacts name...not like blah blah @ tmomail.net
i do it..i.t works greatt
I'd do that, but for some reason when I send an email from my phone, it sends out two copies... I would hate to send two texts everytime!
Edit: I just looked into this some more since I have 'the time' and I realized that it's just my gmail account that is seeing the double emails since it's saving a 'sent' copy on the phone and then doubles it up in the gmail.com app. (so this will work! Now I'll have to go through and setup everyone's texting email and another gmail account just to have the responses go through it)
Been txting my friend this morning and suddenly I started getting txt from a number not in my phone book. Turns out it was my mate who I had just been texting all morning. I then had a look through my phone book and I have lost loads of numbers!!! quickly checked my hotmail address book online and for all the contacts, their facebook details are there but outlook/hotmail details which include phone numbers have gone!!!!!
Any ideas?
i'm having the same problem. i used the transfer my data app to transfer my contacts from my iphone 4s to my lumia 920. now all my contacts are gone. i can still see the name and numbers of people that i have called or called me. but when i tap on my phone book to see who is in it no one is there. it's asking me to set up an account. i'm really starting to get pissed off with windows phone. maybe i should return my windows phone and give my money to apple. their **** just seems to work with no problem. how the hell can i have windows contacts on my computer but it won't sync to my windows phone without first transferring to outlook? i don't use outlook. i hate outlook. maybe this is why ms is so far behind ios and android. it sucks!!
You havent associated your contacts with your MS Live/Outlook/Hotmail account?

I have the same problem several days ago: the numbers of many persons I intended to call suddenly disappeared, on all of my lumia 920, desktop outlook, and People on web. The losses seemed to happen when I was editing one contact on Outlook. When I just saved the changed contact, it disappeared. Later, I start finding lots of contacts lost. This really bothers me now.
Guys I have the same ****** problem now...DID u guys find a solution for it?Plz help

I switched my sim card from my lumia 520 to new android today.Then,I tried syncing my hotmail on android but there were no contacts.I took my lumia and saw that the contacts were missing in that too...I tried checking the connected accounts:1 hotmail and 2 Google accounts.The hotmail account is showing synced but the Google accounts are still showing 'syncing'.I tried everything but still continues..My suspect was mayb the contacts were being synced to the Google accounts but got interrupted.so the contacts are neither on my phone nor hotmail nor the Google accounts.help me out guys...PLZ...I hav very important contacts and need them
go to https://people.live.com/
and if contacts there, export to CSV file...
go to Google https://www.google.com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=0#contacts and import contacts there...
also if contacts on phone use official Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/contacts-message-backup/9nblgggz57gm to export contacts to SD card
After i updated to Sense 6 the other day, I suddenly can't save contact.
When i get a new number, i write the name etc in the contact and save the contact.
But after rebooting nothing is saved, and i'm back to only having the number, no name etc.
It seems to work when i save on SIM but not when i save on exchange, where the rest of my contact are.
It seems i can't sync from HTC -> exchange or from exchange ->HTC
I try to setup a new contact in outlook and sync on my htc, but its not showing up on my mobil.

It will sync my mail and calendar, BUT not my contacts.
I have noticed that my sync is sat to OFF, and don't really know how to set it to ON.?
