Do someone know how to put two mobile numbers in one contact.
It is very important, because it is very complicated to send SMS on the mobile number if it is stored under another type of number.
Some of my friend have two numbers and also if someone is writing me an SMS from a number that is not stored under mobile and I want answer, you can't just tap for replay, because the Diamond will use the default mobile number of the contact, not the from from which the SMS was send... it is really incredible. I realised it after some friends didn't recieved my SMS... also because you cannot check to which number you send it... there is just a name!!!
Do someone have a solution?!?!?
It is really annoying for me!!
Thnx!!

You should be able to solve it via editing the contact either on the PC with which you sync or directly on your device, going to contacts and editing the contact. Just enter the second number in another field, like home, work, main, primary, etc. The label does not really matter.

As the OP states the label absolutely does matter. For example, a telephone number in the 'Work' field will never be offered when typing a name into the To: field of an SMS message.

Correct, for SMS only Mobile will be offered as alternative but as for Caller ID it does not matter.
Not sure if it would help you or even work for your problem, but in Outlook there is a phone type of "car" that you could use. Like I said, not sure if that would help with the SMS issue, but it might.
MJNewton understood my problem...
My problem is to send an SMS to a number which is not under the label mobile.
Also the car label doesn't work. It offers you only the mobile number for sending SMS.
It is really very stupid not to add also a mobile2 label and to offer both numbers!
Would someone invent something for this?!? Do only we in Slovenia have sometimes two mobile numbers?!?!
Thnx!!

Same here, I have friends studying abroad, with one mobile phone in each country... Solved it using the "work" section, but it's not that good for the SMS... Perhaps if we find the template somewhere it could be changed ?
I would think the logical solution (workaround) would be to have two different contacts in your contact list.
I have this issue aswell.
What yoiu could try is use an app like Icontact or pocketcm.
I beleive you can pick the number were you want to sms to.
have not try'd it my self
i dont have this problem?
if i goto new text, then add contact the contacts list appears, then when i click the contact i have to choose which number i want (mobile, work, mobile2, home ect)
which method are you using to add contacts to the SMS?

The problem is if you go to your contacts, select one and then pick write sms.
you wont get an option.
or when you reply to an sms (al though i do think then when i reply it does sent it to the number you are replying to.
but it is annoying that you cant see which number it was)
When you use the SMS application and you press "To:" it will show your contacts list and when chosing a name you'll be presented with all the numbers you have for that contact wether mobile, home or work so I don't really see the problem.

...possible.....
I don't have too many friends walking around with two mobiles consistently on their person so I don't really considerthis an issue
but if I did (like for differnet countries) and I wanted this to work I would make an exact copy of the original Contact amd slightly change the name to represent the second mobile i.e.
Fred1 Smith xxxxxx
Fred2 Smith yyyyyy
....suppose that would work....
Two mobiles in one contact.
You can't do that on the phone although outlook could do it!
Do as I did in the past.
You have two numbers for John Smith?
contact1: JohnSmith1
contact2: JohnSmith2
TWO MOBILES!!
How far out can you fall with the same name?
I actually had each number on different name because I wanted to know straight way who phoned me.
So I had like DaveMob, DaveHm, DaveFax, etc.
Right so I know this question has been asked many times before, but none of the answers I find work for me.
Problem: is that in the messaging app (sms) there is no picture of "Me". Its just a grey rectangle with a white border.
Things I've tried:
Pressing the grey box to bring up menu: Pressing the box does nothing other the simply changing the border color from white to orange.
Clicking menu >> more >> add contact: no such option is available for me
Add myself as a contact in the phonebook: Done this with my number with and without country code and with email.
Add a picture to my profile in GTalk ('Talk'): I've had a picture there for ages, same one as was set on my google account online before I even got this phone. No luck here
I think that's all ive tried, but I may be forgeting something.
Possible explenations:

I have tested it, and that "unknown" is the cause of greyed out picture.
I have 2 sim cards, one is 3UK, and the other one is one2free from Hong Kong. The phone recognises the 3UK phone number but not the one2free (it shows up as unknown).
I have both numbers under the same contact with a avatar / picture.
Nexus one shows up profile pics correctly with my 3UK sim card plugged in, but it greyed out all those pictures when I've plugged in the one2free sim card.
FYI all those messages were sent and received on the one2free (hk) number.
I know (at least in Hong Kong) there are a lot of carriers who don't put the phone number in SIM cards. It wasn't a big problem until now. :/ I wonder if there will be a solution addressing this problem.

What burnduck is refering to is in 'Settings>>About Phone>>Status>>My phone number'. This slot just says 'Unknown', has been this way in 2.1 as well.
All in all that seems like a plausible answer untill Rusty commented the following:

For the record in 'Settings>>Location & security>>Set up SIM card lock' the option to 'Lock SIM card' on/off does not work for me either. I can change the sim pin, but not disable it entirely.
Im wondering if some1 has any clever suggestions or work-arounds I can try. Im using a stock n1 with froyo 2.2. Any help would be greatly apprechiated.
This has now been solved! The problem is that your phone number is not stored in your sim. You need to put your sim in a phone that allows you to alter you "personal phone number". Its usually a setting found under 'special numbers' then something like 'my phone number'. Many people have been using their old phones to do this, some have used iphone. But this has been confirmed to work! Good luck all!
I also have this issue. only 1 SIM card.
i added myself to my contacts. then goto contacts and click add to cantacts. didnt change how number was displayed and didnt add any name and it works fine.

long press the greyed out pic in sms app then add to contacts.
then it will cgo to contacts page at the top just click add to contacts. dont change name or add number.
once added go to contacts select the contact, your number, and add a photo.
I'm having the same issues as described by the OP. Tried everything but still no picture.
I've sent a mail to my provider asking whether it is possible to remotely update my simcard information.

I originally tested going into the messaging app then into an existing conversation between me and some1 else on my contact list. Long pressing the grey pic then did nothing.
Now I just deleted myself and then sent an sms to myself. In this conversation with myself I now have 'Me' and 'my number(in numbers of course)'. I can't do anything with Me, but I can add 'my number' to my contact list as myself with my number and email. But still wont do anything to 'Me'.
Confusing but hopefully u understand.

yes just add you number to contacts. it wont show in contacts as ME.
I'm having the same issue and my number is showing as unknown. I'm on Telecom in New Zealand.

I know it wont show in contacts as 'Me'. Buts its not showing as 'Me' in the messaging app. In the conversation between me and me, me will be grey and the contact I saved will be the name I save it as. Get the difference?

yeah and im glad u did, thx for the effort. I think it has something to do with the sim card, as everything else should be the same i presume. I have sent an email to my provider, hopefully they will have some insight to come with tomorrow.
yeah, same here, think it has to do with the sim card. which is weird,why dont it just use the google pic instead of using something connected to the sim. weird.

Yeah, I agree. Really strange. I mean the fact that you have to manually add yourself and your number in your own phone book is just kind of funky in my opinion.

Well I wouldn't say its too funky, adding myself to the phonebook is something I've been doing, so that I can trade contact with others, but I think google could have gone with an easier option which is to use the picture of the google accounts. After all, its associated with the phone isn't it?

Yeah, exactly the point I was trying to make.
i added my phone number to my google voice contact number, then i dragged a photo of myself onto the sd card, then edited my contact picture to use that photo. a long drawn out work around, but now it isn't blank at least.
i agree, it's a little stupid that it doesn't just grab your photo from either google or facebook, seeing as how it's totally synced up with those.
Picture of " me" at messages etc
Does anyone know how to get rid of that grey square? why can I not customise myself?
a google search gave me a strange solution but it should be easier
Thx

It's taking the picture from your Google account. So you can either change it there or create a new contact with your info (phone, email, etc) and assign whatever photo you want to it.
I have a google picture but that doesn't show. I also tried creating a me contact but that does not work

The answer was already posted.
Create a new contact for your self with your phone number in it. Set your picture.
Once youve made a contact with your number and picture, it doesnt automatically create a picture for you in 'me'.
What I had to do was press on the grey 'me' icon in messaging, and then press on the contact info. Then press menu and edit contact, then press menu again and 'join' with the contact with your name and photo.
If the phone number reported by your SIM matches a contact for yourself with a picture, that should mean your picture ends up in the grey square.
Only problem is, if you have an oddball provider like Mobilicity Canada who doesn't program their SIM cards properly, you may have "unknown" as the phone number reported by your SIM, and any attempt to change that number on the SIM will fail.
Well I don't know what you guys are doing but I can't create a picture. I tried making a contact with my name and with the name me it all doesn't work foot me.
Oh well happy new year

You need to put your sim card in an "old" phone and save your number manually in the simcard, then put it back in nexus, and make a contact.

The OP should specify which provider they are using. Some providers write-protect their SIM cards so that you can't save your number on it.
The old phone method is what I found on google. It sound retarded and I don't have an old phone
But what's funny is that one says old phone and the other says I can just add a contact.
The latter doesn't work for me. I wonder how it does for them.

Just check-out the phone number in settings/status and create contact with that number. Android will recognize it.
For example: In settings i have "My phone number"
+82-109-xxx-xxxx
So i created contact with number (Didnt add "+82" because its a country code) 109-xxx-xxxx, give it my name and my photo and it worked.

It doesn't work because you need to do BOTH. You need to add your number to the sim card and add yourself as a contact.
Can someone please tell me how to set this phone to send certain contacts straight to voicemail? I can't find that option to click in the contact editnscreen???

This isn't built into the stock ROM. You can, however, download apps from the Play Store to blacklist contacts.
Actually I found out how. Click on the icon photo of someone in the contacts list. That pops up a small box with that persons info. I. The box middle right side is a person logo icon thing. Click that and you get a bigger screen of that contacts info. The. Click the menu hard button and the option to send to voicemail comes up I. A box to check.

The feature of the HTC One consolidating all messages to under the same person with different phone numbers is annoying for me.
many people i know have a personal and work mobile phone, so 2 numbers.
but the messaging app consolidates and puts it under the same name, so everytime i want to text i have to go to the menu and select which to send to
is there a way to remove this feature, or the only way is to create 2 contacts for the same person in the phonebook?
TIA
I think you could go to edit contact and unlink the numbers. Not positive but I think it could work.
