i keep checking to see if someones answered this yet!
as id like to change all the text on my phone to something more personal,
i think its a case of finding the source code, editing it, compiling it, then transferring the new executable file to the phone?
but not really that sure, and would'nt know how to do any of that anyway!

This has been discussed a few times in obscurely titled threads - problems with not easily knowing the originating number for contacts with multiple entries.

In short, it's not possible.

Conversations is a closed application : (

I disagree, Google Voice plugin creates a new label, i think it can be done, just not enough interest to make it happen.

i know this can be done (when pidgin can do this why can not we do),, only we need some xpert to make it possible.

Can you provide a screenshot where google voice or pidgin puts a
new label on the phone or mobile phone button.

Ok, but these are the fields for the im accounts. The original question was
how to add/or modify the phone buttons.
Without getting the source of the contacts-ui I don't know how to add
a phone button with a user defined label.

i mean if pidgin can ADD some new fields,so why can not we ADD some fields(with our own text on it)

for example a new field called "yahoo" or "QQ" can come in existence after installing pidgin,can not i do the same for some of my contact for their mobile no.

or if possible can we modify its text(i think it is not possible to edit text on the field)

I didn't say we can not add new fields. But those fields are related
to a protocol handler (aim, jabber, ...). I just don't know how the
phone buttons are handled.

Generally if you pull up the contact info from the place where youre seeing that name (e.g. when reading an SMS tap on the person's picture or choose Open Contact Card from the menu) and the relevant number is highlighted in blue.
Or in some cases only the relevant number is shown (recent calls list, tap an entry to see just the number that called) and you must tap on the picture (in the screen that appears when you tap an entry) to get the full contact card
