Hi,
I have tried to find a way to view/see the sender's phone number (a sender already in the adress book), but I cant find a way.

I have many contacts with each having as many as 5 numbers. I would want to somehow call the sender right from Conversations. Tap+hold does not give me the option to call the sender, clicking on the sender's photo/avatar gives me the address book entry, without knowing which the originating number is.

anyone?

merci

Not sure if you can... At least I havent found a way,

A not very practical workaround would be to have seperate address book entries.(ie "John smith 1" "john smith 2") for those people who you really need to know where the number came from...

I think that right now it's not possible. However, you can catch a glimpse of the sender's number on the top bar if you close the conversations app, open it again and open the sender's message.

It is possible if someone writes a small application for it. The database that stores all the text messages contains the number where the text came from (remote_uid column in Events table).

Writing a small script that reacts on every received SMS, and then updates the contact information, adding a new property (or modifying it if it already exists) "Last text from" and add the phone number in that.

What would happen for the user workflow is that after reading the text, the user could click on the avatar, and click on that property.

I'll put it on my to-do list. Can't promise any delivery dates though.

In PR1.2 (and in the leaked version too) you can see the number. When you tap the sender's icon to get the addressbook card, one number will be highlighted - that's the one from which the message was sent.

Great news - so let us hope PR1.2 will come soon.

anothing one more thing that important is how to put contact number in conversation without go to contact, then edit, then at the number copy and then paste at conversation...
