Contacts and their numbers

Guys how do I view the contacts names with the number? on N73???
I went thru settings, but i could only view contacts by name and lastname any ideas how to view them by name and number thank you...

You can't 😊

You can store dozens of contact numbers and details against each contact so to have a display view that just shows one number is not really worthwhile.
It was on older phones when it was one contact=one number.

Why do you need to see a number against a name?
A press of the joystick gives you all the contact info.

HTH

This will make 2 presses of joystick, 1st accessing the contacts, 2nd press is viewing the number of the contact. 😉 Older ones were faster dont you think?

You know, you're right..
No wonder I've not got anything done all these years I've had a smartphone.. all those wasted seconds.

Sure S40 phones were quicker - but they did a helluva lot less.

Still can't see the need to have the no. on screen if you're calling the person!
If I want to dial Bob (and I've set his Default calling number from the three I have for him), I pick Bob - I don't worry what his number is!
