New Contacts Not Showing

2 replies · 1,724 views · Started 19 September 2005

Folks,

Minor quibble, wonder if I'm doing anything wrong.

I added a new contact, put in name, phone numner, pic etc, and stored this. It shows up fine in my Contacts list.

BUT the same contact is missing when I try to send them an SMS message. I go to Creat SMS, click on 'To' and in the list of names, the new contact that has just been created does not show up.

Any ideas?

Did you select the right category for the phone number (mobile)? If not, the number / contact is not listed when you try to sms.

Aha ! Thx very much PeteASJP, the mobile no WAS in the wrong category, and so when I tried to send the person an SMS , of course, their name & number wasn't listed in the contacts list.

Pretty obvious now that I think about it.....
