How do I enter more than one mobile phone number for a contact in Outlook 2003?
 

I have a colleague who has two mobile phone numbers. One is a chinese
number, the other is a hong kong mobile number. I can reach him at one
during the week days and the other during the weekend.

However, Outlook only seems to allow you to enter one mobile number for
any one contact. I'd like to enter two.

Before you answer, here's why I want to do this. I own a Nokia E61
which I synch with outlook using Nokia PC Suite. My Nokia allows me to
enter multiple mobile numbers for a contact. However, when I synch
with outlook, all but one are dropped because Outlook only allows one
mobile record.

If I synch back to my mobile phone and tell the synchronizer that
Outlook is to be used as the "correct" version I lose the mobile
number.

Also, my Nokia only allows me to send an SMS message to a phone number
that has been categorized as a mobile number.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a solution that accomplishes what you
want. You could enter the second mobile number in another Outlook phone
field, such as "Pager" or "Car". As long as your E61 supports these fields,
you could at least use them for voice dialing. But, as you point out, the
phone only recognizes the official "mobile" number for SMS purposes.

Thanks, Homelan,

I guess no one in Outlook land has more than one mobile number. I'll
be going manual with this.
