I have assigned a primary number to a contact and I want to remove that without anything another primary number. I can only find a way to assign another number as primary. Is this possible?

Yes its possible, but if you have option "contact with phone number" on then you will not see that contact in you address book

Where is the "contact with phone number" option? Also, how do I remove the primary number setting from an individual contact?

Ok I think you are misunderstanding my question or maybe I wasn't clear. I do not want to remove the number from the contact. I just do not want a number set as a "primary" number. This contact has 2 numbers. When I click on the Person shortcut on my home screen, I want it to ask me which number to dial instead of dialing the "primary" number. If I view the contact details, I can clearly see that one of those numbers is set as the "primary". I just need to remove that "primary" setting from that number. How do I do that?
I have the same question for the exact same reason. Have you gotten an answer or figured this out yet?
Thanks,
John

found the following on the google code site and it worked like a charm. Kind of obvious. Wish I thought of it.
If you would like no default number, follow rg94941 instructions above but first add a new number (to be deleted). Edit contact, add new number, enter any number (to be deleted), set default to this new number (see rg94941), then delete the new number. The shortcut will revert back to the multiple number option.

i had problem inserting contact to message (short message service). i just can send contact as message, but how can i insert contact number to message?
thank you
Just go to your sms message center, create a new message.
This is the part you care about, Click on MENU. and add recipient.
This takes you to your contacts, scroll to the contact name and press the left soft key(OK). This will add the recipient's phone number to the Header of your sms and you can begin typing away. Also you can type away 1st, then add recipient, if you want.

This becomes....
I can JUST (or ONLY) SEND contact as a message, how can I insert the contact's number to the message.
I think he's saying he can send the contact's number to a person as a message, but he cannot add the contact's number to the message.
Maybe not, it's kinda hard with this hazy post.

try http://freewareppc.com/ search for insert contact...ive seen it before
is there a way to have the contact list drop down when just typing in their name. I've seen another 6.1 rom on a tmo dash that inserts the name (or gives you the names of you contact list) as you type the first few letters of that name. hope im being clear.. example when i type VI in the recipient TO: line, it would show all contacts who's name has VI in it, such as VINCE, or VIVIAN, etc. it should also work when typing in the first few numbers in a phone number. Thanks. Bill.

Does anyone know how i can enable this?
Ricky's remake doesn't have this option enabled.
Thanks
could someone please tell me how to enable it for this rom?
The program they mentioned is not what i'm looking for.
the thing, im looking for is like smart dailer, for txt message.
thanks
I understand what the guy is saying because I had a similar question a while back. Sometimes I want to insert a phone number and contact name IN the text message. The only way on the Dash to do this is to add the number in the recipient header and then typing it on your own but there is no direct way of doing it. Its weird because on my old RAZR and SLVR I could and here on a WM device I can't. And yes, I also would like to know where I can get the drop down menu list when typing a name in the recipient header. I saw it in a ROM I think it was Ricky and Stylez but Kavana's doesn't have it.
Thanks
when I recieve a text or call it doesn't register with my contacts, just shows numbers no info.
and yes i put my contatcs back on the phone.
nobody has any ideas on how to fix this ?

Well, normally this happens when your contacts are being pulled from the SIM card. Try going into your contact list, and tap Menu > View > Contacts. This should exclude your SIM contacts from the list. Future messages should now be tagged with the name of the contact instead of the number. Keep in mind that this will have no effect of messages already on the phone, only future ones.

The only other thing I can think of then, is to make certain that the number that is being displayed is exactly the same as the one in your contact list. This includes the +1areacode. I.e. If the number for your contact is 555-5555, and the incoming text number is +15555555555, just change the contact number to match the incoming. This would, again, only resolve the future contacts.
How can you do it? I can change it, but not unset it.

I'd like to know that as well. Somehow my wife's contact got set to her office number and I can no longer call her cell from the quick contact thing - it just dials her office automatically. Really annoying, and so far, I've found no way to change this, other than setting her cell as the default. It used to have NO default and would give me the option each time. I'd really like to have that back.
Unset Default Number for Contact
Go to your contact list. Long press on the contact. Cselect "Set default action" and choose the phone number you want to set as default.

We don't want to change the default number, we want NO default number set.
I just checked comparing this on Sense and CM7. In Sense, I click to call a contact and it automatically dials the default number. On CM7 if I do the same thing, I get a list of that person's various numbers and can choose which one I want to call.
This is really useful when you have, for example, someone's home, cell and work number in their contact. I don't want ANY number to be the default if I might be calling them at any time of the day and not only when they're likely to be reachable by one particular number.
Maybe Sense was never able to do this, I've switched back and forth between Sense and AOSP so many times I don't recall but I thought it could.

Just a thought- you might could clear defaults under contacts or contact storage in settings>applications>manage applications>contacts/contact storage>clear default

Follow this instead of choosing a number choose view contact. That way when you click the contact on the widget, it will bring up their contact card with all points of contact instead of just number. That's the way in Sense anyway. The Sense widget has to set something for each contact.
Hello,
I been searching to figure out how to add a pause between phone number and conference ID/extension. I've tried adding a comma (,), "p", and period (.) without success. Tried by adding this to a contact's phone number - such as 555-555-1234pp123456# or 555-555-1234,,123456#, etc.
Does anyone know of a solution? Is this a limitation in Windows Phone in general or is this OEM specific?
Thanks for your help.
Add the contact using Windows Live, Outlook, or however else you can add commas and still have it sync, then it works.
ie:
mobile phone
(800) 555-8355 ,2548
Add more commas if needed.

Before you do this, read the Last Paragraph.
1. Go into your settings and then Phone Settings and write down your Voicemail number. Be sure to copy it exactly, including spaces.
2. Open Office on your phone and start a new Word Document. Type your Voicemail number exactly as you saw it.
3. Add a p after the number and then type your password. Now, highlight and copy this new number.
4. Go back to your phone settings and paste this new number including the p and password.
5. Back out and see if that worked. If you have any trouble, put the old number back into phone settings.
I'll change numbers so you don't have mine, but here's an example:
+1 (415) 497-1234p1234
This works on ATT. We also have an option to bypass password completely within the Voicemail settings menu after calling voicemail. On ATT it's option 2, then passwords, then turn off password.
Hey what i did was just type the number in a text editor and pasted to contact detail.. it worked
My phone forgets "default" number setting for contact. This is very annoying. I suspect it happens when it syncs with Google contacts, which do not have notion of "default" number. Correct me if I am wrong.
I guess the best option would be to find alernative dialer app, which stores default number setting (at least for quick-dial contacts) in a way it is not lost during sync with Google. Any suggestions?

If contact has multiple phone numbers you can long press on one of them and in popup menu chose "set as default".
When in dialer app you swipe right on this contact it will call this number. If none set as default it will call first one.
