Hello. Im delighted with my new Jolla phone. Thanks very much. One thing that is not as I'd like it however is the handling of contacts with multiple phone numbers.

(1) Importing contacts (from android phone ) via .vcf file loses custom labels for and the default number. I migrated from my samsung galaxy s2 .. expotred my contacts to a .vcf file Some of these had multiple tel numbers and each of these I was able to name arbitrarily (eg "mobile-old"), and one of which I was able to mark as default, so that if I call that contact or send a text message that number will be used preferentially. I really liked this feature and wish it was also available in Jolla. It seems such numbers were stored in the vcf as eg "TEL;X-Old:+4916316666767 TEL;CELL;PREF:+491575655421" Importing the vcf into my jolla lost all this "meta" data. It imported the multiple numbers for such contacts but not the custom name and not which number ws default (seems this is controlled by which number is listed first in jolla?) .

(2) I cannot assign a custom label for a contacts number. It would be really nice to have this feature (its available in eg samsung galaxy s2 ). eg "old phone", "sister's phone"

(3) I cant specify/change which number is the default for a contact with more than one number. It would be really nice to have this feature (its available in eg samsung galaxy s2 ) Is it always the first number listed which is default in jolla? It would be nice at least to be able to reorder numbers then (without having to delete and retype)

(4) In the "Messages" conversation log with a contact i cant see anywhere which of their multiple numbers I used ...all messages to/from that client get jumbled together in one conversation list without any way to check eg did I sent the text message to their mobile phone as I intended or did I mistakenly use their landline. Similarly in the phone call history.

It would be really nice if you could address these issues in the near future. Many thanks in advance. Declan

Closed this one as "not relevant", as the issues now have their own questions.
