EDIT: this is my exact error

Hi all!
I have a huge problem distinguish what number I receive SMS from, when I receiving it from a person with multiple phone numbers. I.e. if I receive a SMS from John Doe who has two mobile numbers, it will only show his name, and not what number it is from. This is a problem when I'll try and answer the message later, and then maybe he has switched phones (work/private phone). The solution can't be sending a message to both phones?
I also experience problems sending SMS to the second number, 'cause the main number is the only one listed as a number i can send SMS to, and not the work number...?
Is this a huge flaw, or is it only me?
TIA!
And how do you see this contact in your contact list?
1 contact - 2 numbers
2 contacts with the same name - different number
?
The contact is listed as 1 name with 2 numbers (mobile number, and work number).
So, is there any other solution to this than going back to the 90's, and make two entries for the contact?

lately when I text somoene, I will get an error message 439 telling me to use a 10 digit mobile number. problem is, I AM using a 10 digit mobile number. what do I do?
Wife just got a Captivate last night and went to sync her contacts with facebook. After doing this, my phone number shows up as xxx-xxxx rather than as a 10 digit number. I have erased my number and reput it in correctly. However, it doesn't matter. Now in her contacts page, my number shows up as a 10 digit but when i send a text, the text is received from a 7 digit number.
So she can't respond to my texts but has to start a new text conversation each time. Kind of irritating.
Any ideas?
If it is pulling the number from facebook you need to edit it there.
Also, she probably has multiple linked contacts for you, one of which could be causing the issue such as phone, sim, google.
We'll try unfriending on facebook and then refriending. I looked and didn't realize my number was on there at all. Glad you said something since I have students on my facebook friends list and so I got my number erased off there.
How can I make sure that all traces of me are completely gone before I readd myself to her contacts list? Apparently what I was doing wasn't working.
In her contact for you it will show if there are multiple that are joined. You can edit them individually though you may need to unlink them in order to do so.
We deleted me. We removed me from a facebook friend. On the magnifying glass, I don't show up under contacts.
Reput me back in and same result.
When I send her a text, my 7 digit number shows up. She can send me a message as I'm now in her contacts with a 10 digit number. But my texts to her show up with a 7 digit number and therefore can't message directly back.
Sounds like it still has the number saved as a linked contact and hasn't updated the correct one from facebook. I would go into the contacts on her phone and look and see if there are multiple numbers under your name.

Coming from TW and AOSP-Based ROMs on phones past I've never once encountered this issue. The short of it is as follows: some numbers in my inbox or call log wont link to their entries in my address book because the full number format doesn't match or something. It's a bit annoying because I'll send a message to someone using their 7 digit number, and when the message comes back it starts a separate thread with their contact entry as the number. Again, this never happened in other roms as 7 digit numbers could identify the contact if it was saved under either the 10 digit or the +11 digit number. Is there any possible way to change that behavior or should I just learn to use my address book to send messages? Thanks in advance
I occasionally get text messages from businesses with a 5 digit number. I would assign them to my contact so that their contact name would show up instead of the original 5 digit number in the app. At some point this stopped working because now, I just see the numbers again.
Anyone notice this?
