Problem when texting to someone in contact list: how do I choose a mobile #?

[Lord Vader]

Here's something that is annoying the heck out of me...

When I'm sending a text message to one of my contacts who has multiple numbers (home, mobile, work), in the "TO:" field I begin to type in my contact's name and all their contact numbers pop up. OK, that's nice, but one big problem: how do I know which number is the mobile number to which I want to send a text?

Several times already I've inadvertently chosen a home phone number and the text message obviously never went through.

On the BlackBerrys I've had, when I begin to enter a contact's name in the "TO:" field, the choices that appear have an indicator present telling me which number is the mobile one; consequently, I immediately know which number to choose.http://forums.crackberry.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=5687764

Why the double post? This was already answered in the other post you made last night.

When filling out the "To" field, it says whether it's a home, mobile or work number right next to it.

EDIT: And here's your other post in case you were too lazy to check the second page: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/40619-when-sending-sms-contacts-how-can-one-tell.html

Please do not double post. As mdorty said, check your other post about this same topic which multiple people have already weighed in on. This helps keep the community organized and less confusing for someone who may search for this same topic in the future.

Thanks for your cooperation.
