Picking a phone entry with a contact that has multiple numbers
Here is a neat feature you can use with your Windows Mobile device if you have a contact that has multiple phone entries.
When you have a contact highlighted you can press the d-pad Left and Right keys to change communication methods for the person (work, home, mobile, txt, email etc). Watch really close when pressing Left/Right, and you'll see the tiny "w" turn to "m", "h", "e" etc.
This is a neat option when you want to call someone and the "default" number is not the one you want.

Hi, I don't know if you ever got an answer to this or if you just figured it out on your own. I have/had a Treo 700wx, too. The D-pad is the rocker-type button just above the keypad. The 'D' stands for direction because, if you press on one side, the screen moves that way. It is used in video games, a lot, to move a character around in different directions. Hope that helps, if you still want to know.

- It allows to change the default number too. When one scrolls through the numbers using the d-pad and stops to the selected entry (i.e. h, w etc.), WM "remembers" the choice next time you look for the same contact, so establishing a new default (normally is cellphone).
- is there anyway to do that from the "last call screen"?
Thank you!

- This concept sounds great. However, I am not familiar with the terminology. What is a "d-pad"? I am using a Treo 700W.

Alright! Thanks Help Line! Tradition.
- I've problem with .....multiple "mobile" numbers??.......quite annoying
as some of my friends have more than 1 mobile number.
What I can do is set 1 as mobile, another one as work home etc...
it sounds good that both numbers are in the list, but......
my mobile doesn't allow me to send a text message to a mobile number which is not in "mobile" blank.......
really annoying sometimes I need to memorise the number and fill it into "to:" ........
XeGnETo - XeGnEToI also have friends who have more than 1 mobile number. The work around I use is this:On the To: field instead of typing out a name which will find your contact but only allow sending to Mobile #. Tap To: then search for your contact then select which number you want to send to. You can also do this by hitting menu add recepient.It beats memorizing the number. HTH
