Does anyone know, or has noticed that even if I pick a contacts mobile number and make it the 'default' in the phones address/contacts book, if then go to type an SMS message entering the persons name in the 'To: ' it still won't pick the 'default' number in it's listings first, but choose the landline number of the contact as first number in the drop down.

It's important if you want to use an app for Sending SMS messages on the new Smartwatch 2, as doing so will send the message to the landline number.

Any ideas please.


Kind regards
Livio

A quick fix would be to split it and create 2 contacts one for the mobile and one for the landline. Not ideal but its a workaround.
