Hello Cheryl, Thanks for your input. All of the phone numbers in my contacts are correctly identified. In every single situation where a contact has more than one phone number listed, this problem occurs. In instances where a contact only has one number listed, i.e. the cell phone number, things work fine.
This problem occurs no matter whether or not I use the bluetooth keyboard. I have also checked to be sure that cell phone numbers are properly labelled as such. This issue makes life very complicated, since many people with whom I need to stay in touch will only respond if they are sent text messages.
