The phone numbers from the SIM card memory locations will appear in the Tel field of the contact card.

If the number you have copied is a GSM number, be aware that you will need to edit the field label in the Contacts application from the communi- cator interface in order to send SMS messages to this contact. The SMS directory offers only those contacts with Tel(GSM) numbers as possible recipients to your SMS, and dims all other contacts.

Entering contact information

via the phone interface

Entering new or editing existing contact names and phone numbers via the phone interface will create a new contact card in the Contacts direc- tory (see Chapter 13 "Phone interface: Using memory - Storing information via the phone in- terface" on page 13-5).

When you store or copy phone numbers via the phone interface, the phone number will appear in the Contacts directory’s Tel field (not the Tel(GSM) field). In order to send SMS messages, the recipient’s GSM phone number must be stored in the Tel(GSM) field. You will need to edit this in- formation from the communicator interface.

Whenever you enter or edit numbers from the phone interface, check that the phone numbers are in the correct fields in the contact card.
