hi, i have an issue with displaying phone numbers, when someone calls me, and i have this number in my phonebook, on display i see contact name and telephone number group, home, work, main, etc. Same thing in call list. What i need to do to change displaying of groups on direct phone number, because i can`t remember what phone number recorded on what group.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3
i got more than 200 contacts and about 600 numbers, type them all in company area, it`s an insane.
i always make calls from recent calls, it`s more easier for me to find exact number what i need, if he call me not while ago of course. And i have a problem when i receive calls from one people with different numbers, and when i call back to him on wrong number, my mobile operator start taxing me.
here to better undersdand, here i must always find out on what number i will call
on android phones i always see what number called me, and i must not do anything else to find it out
can iphone look the same as on android devices, maybe some app?
If you want to see the phone number used with a contact that has multiple numbers, you need to go to the Recent call list and tap on the ℹ to the far right side. From there, it will display the contact's information, and the number they called from would be highlighted. I'm guessing that is what you are referring to?
There is no setting to display the phone number when the call is coming in if you have the individual listed in your contacts. The only way to display the number is if you remove the individual from your contact list.
Am I correct in believing that you are not wanting to answer the phone, just see the number calling? If you want to call the number, just tap on the call in Recents. I suppose you could always type the phone number again in the Company area of the contact, that would display it under the person's name. Otherwise, that is not how the Contacts app works on the iPhone when coupled with the Caller ID.
Now in this last response, you asking about what number you are dialing? You now have me confused. If you want to dial a number from a contact, you go to the Contacts app, look up the contact, and then tap on the number you want to dial. So what is it you are actually trying to do?

Okay, so you don't answer the phone, you just call people back. The method I explained earlier is how you determine what number they called you from, you tap on the number and the call goes through to that number.

No, it is not an Android device. It displays the way it is designed
so, instead of going to recent calls, and dial first correct number i see of this contact, i must go to phone book, find this contact typing his name, tap on it, and find what number i needed? can you see the difference in time? explain me for what recent calls are made for?
i know that iphone is not an android device, i`ve asked is there any app or settings, that make look recent calls on iphone device, same way as it look by default on any android device, where phone number of contact show me when i receive call or when i look for it in recent calls.
No, you go to recent calls, just like I said the first time, and then tap on the ℹ. It does not require you to go to contacts and search for the contact and then find it. You find it directly from Recents.
You asked if it could look like the Android device or if there was an app or setting, I said No. That no covered both questions.
no, i want to see the number when he call me on the main screen, and not to tap instantly i button when i want to understand on what number i want to call. I want to see contact numbers all the time
omg, maybe there is some app, that make look incoming call same as on android phones, when i always understand what number i dialing?
