Hello all,
Over the years, so that my calls, texts, and emails show a proper picture/logo, I’ve just added any new phone numbers or email addresses from a company to a single contact entry. A few companies stand out for how many phone numbers and email addresses I have added to them: Amazon, Apple, and AT&T. These three, for example, each have a couple dozen phone numbers and email addresses I’ve assigned to them over the years. Does anyone else do this (I guess I’m a bit OCD and want every non-spam number/email to show a proper picture).
The reason I ask is I thought it might be convenient to sync my contact list to my Outlook account and realized that whether I use Outlook.com or the Outlook app, it only supports a few phone number and email fields (when I sync using Windows iCloud app it just takes the first three or so phone numbers and email addresses for a particular contact and fills up all the Outlook fields and doesn’t bother with the dozens of other numbers and email addresses that are included in a particular contact in Apple Contacts).
Is there a way to edit or customize Outlook contacts the way I am able to with Apple Contacts? I also take advantage of the Custom option when adding phone numbers and email addresses, so my local Mercedes dealer contact entry will have phone numbers and email addresses labeled as “Sales,” “Parts,” “Service,” etc. Doesn’t appear that Outlook supports what seems like unlimited numbers/email addresses/labels per contact like Apple Contacts does.
Just curious if there’s a way to import 31 phone numbers for a contact that also has custom labels (in my AT&T contact's case) into Outlook or do Outlook users just have to create multiple contacts or use a 3rd-party solution. Does Android/Google support having a bunch of phone numbers and email addresses per contact?
No plans to leave the Apple ecosystem and not a big deal if other platforms/programs don't support. Just wondering how other platforms might handle this and if fellow macOS/iOS users do the same thing I do regarding adding numbers/email addresses/custom labels to contacts.
