Do you want to save this number? - Treo Forums

yes please, but is there a way to have it default to "mobile" rather than "work"?

it wasn't until recently i found out that in SMS/new/lookup it will only "lookup" numbers stored as "mobile". now that seems obvious reading it now but i'm sure there are others who have gone into SMS, knowing a mobile number was stored but unable to find it using lookup as it was under "work" or some other.

(sorry, for US "mobile" = "cell" i think)

OK, I'll try but I don't think I have a good answer for you.
I believe that the saved number category defaults to Work because the first phone number category for a new contact defaults to Work (i.e. the template goes: Work, then Home, Mobile, E-mail, Main, and AIM). If you can figure out how to change the new contact template order to list Mobile first, that will probably also occur when saving a new number. Unfortunately, I don't think the template can be changed.

thanks for trying.

must be possible tho for someone to figure out how the "change custom fields" option works and then apply over to the "save number" altering the default.

it's funny how we have a great system and keep seeing ways to improve it?

thanks for the reply tho.
