Change all phone# (Business/Home) to mobile to send SMS

[Markd892]

Hi,

I have synched in my contacts. I have Mobile#'s in the second phone spot in the Treo which Treo defaults to "Home" or in the first phone spot "Business".

When I go to send an SMS to someone, I can't because Treo is expecting the Mobile# to be in the 3rd phone spot not the second or first.

I know I can go manually and change each person so that the number is marked properly as Mobile, but ideally I would like a way to globally change all contacts so that Phone2 and Phone1 are shown as Mobile.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

If you have Palm Desktop installed you can export all your addresses to an Excel file, adjust the phone numbers there, and then import the Excel file. It's worth experimenting with one entry first.... You may have to delete your addresses in the Treo before hot-synching back to the Treo otherwise you'll probably get double entries.

You can export to a .CSV / .TXT, or you can right-click selected entries and Send To> MS Excel.
