Hello Barbara and others, Mention of this "iPhone" label came up once or twice before and I find it very interesting since I don't have it. I just checked again by going into one of my contacts and double tapping on the "Mobile" label which is next to his mobile number. Here are all the labels I have in the list:
Mobile Home Work Work Fax Pager Assistant Car Company Main Radio I bought my iPhone directly from Apple as an unlocked 4S. This is of course not a big deal since I don't see a point in designating somebody's mobile number as "iPhone". As Barbara says, the Messages app knows whether to send a text message as iMessage if the other person has an iPhone and has iMessages enabled. What if a friend has an iPhone and I label his cell number as "iPhone", but down the road maybe he decides to switch to an Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry, I might not even know this just as I don't necessarily know who all in my contacts has an iPhone unless they are close friends or family. It must be another Apple mysterie *smile*.

The device recognizes the iMessage-compatible numbers, provided you're logged into wifi or mobile internet. Still, I prefer to mark the numbers as "iPhone" if I know that the crtain person is having one, because this way I immediately know which number to choose for iMessage without opening the Messages app first.

Yes it's possible to have two numbers; on some of my contacts, Ihave a Cell number and a home number. You put in both numbers; afterwards there's button for Iphone, Mobile and the like? OK those you double tap and they change labels: to get to these lables upon double tapping, swipe left/right and you'll Mobile, Iphone, Home etc. The different between Mobile and Iphone as Iunderstand, is when you label as Iphone, and your contact has an Iphone, you can send IMessage and use Facetime. Good luck! El 08/08/2013 05:09 p.m., Cliff Self escribió: Is it possible to have two numbers listed in a single contact? Specifically, I'd like to include a cell and home phone. As I swipe through the fields I see Mobile, then IPhone, the distinction escapes me, and later there's a home, but it is for emails. At one point I was prompted to add a label. any guidance would be appreciated. Cliff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
