Re: iPhone field in contacts, was IPhone 3GS and iMessages
Hi, are you syncing your contacts through a cloud service like Google Contacts? If you are, then I don't believe the iPhone field will show up since Google doesn't support that. In the past for me it used to get switched to the field called Other. Since I don't use iMessages I don't bother with an iPHone field so the fact that it's not there for me either doesn't bother me. -- Raul A.

Re: iPhone field in contacts, was IPhone 3GS and iMessages
If I click on the mobile button to go through the additional labels iPhone is the first one in the list for me. First mobile is selected and then the first one after that is iPhone. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 9:22 AM Subject: iPhone field in contacts, was IPhone 3GS and iMessages Hello, I have heard people refer to this mysterious iPhone field before. Where is this supposed to be, I certainly don't seem to have it when I add or edit a contact. If I double tap let's say on the Mobile button next to the field where I put somebody's cell number I get a list with a Cancel button at the top left, then the heading Labels is at the top in the middle and after that I have the following 10 labels to choose from: Mobile (which would show as selected) Home Work Home Fax Work Fax Pager Assistant Car Company Mai Radio I really don't see the point of the iPhone field anyways because if somebody gives me their cell number I don't typically ask them whether they have an iPhone or not and I have never had issues with iMessages working, if I am sending a text and the recipient has iMessage enabled it will go as an iMessage, this is how it's supposed to work and I doubt Apple requires anybody to specifically indicate whether the number is an iPhone number or not. By the way, this is an iPhone 4S and iOS 5.1.1 for me. I seem to remember seeing the iPhone number field before, but it was a long time ago so could this maybe something on an iPhone 4?

Did this to all my iOS contacts and have been able to reliably send iMessages ever since.

Re: iPhone field in contacts, was IPhone 3GS and iMessages
Just want to throw in one quick thing: if you go down to the bottom of the screen and find the add field button, you will find a long list of fields that don't show up by default when entering contact information. Such things as assistant's name, assistant's tel, birthday, home fax, work fax, address, and perhaps even iPhone. I don't recall having to find this iPhone field in the Add Fields button screen, since I recall seeing it on the main add contact screen. Whatever the case, perhaps it slipped to the more fields area. I've used the field several times and it has come in handy if I know for a fact that someone has an iPhone.
