contactsiphone
I just bought an iPhone 5C. I can't figure out how to make a call. My contact list was uploaded to the new phone but there are no phone numbers listed. Email addresses are listed for some of my contacts.
Do I need to go to a different screen or do I need to manually add phone numbers?
A custom label will have to suffice here. I have many contacts with their cell phones listed as 'mobile', and then a custom 'Google Voice' labeled number.
[edit]
An alternative to this is to make the change via Address Book.app on your computer, then sync the contacts to your phone.
Custom labels are available in all contact adding/modification screens.
First, browse to a contact, and tap the label name (to the left of a phone number, e-mail address, etc.). You will see the list of labels.
Second, swipe all the way to the bottom, and tap on "Add Custom Label".
Type in a new Custom Label;
And then it will be displayed next to the number.
It will now appear in a list of custom labels on later access.
The native Contacts and Phone apps do not support this in iOS. As a workaround, you could use a third party contacts manager which supports smart groups, creating “Has a phone number” and “Has an email address” groups and working from these. Note that the contact lookup sheets shown by other apps (like, say, Mail) are provided by the native app and thus will not show your new groups.
A free example of such an app for the iPhone would be Tacts – searching for “smart groups” on the App Store should get you more.

When you select a contact, their phone number should show up towards the top.
If it doesn't show a phone number, it's possible that the phone numbers didn't import. It's also possible that there could be multiple contacts for a single person. You can also try and dial a phone number of a contact in your list and see if the name shows up below it.
