IPhone – How to set a default contact for a phone number on iPhone

iphone

In my contact list, I have a number of contacts that share the same work phone number (synchronized from exchange server), because they are work colleagues. For instance:

  1. James (Employee #1)
  2. George (Employee #2)
  3. Sarah (Employee #3)

the work name

I keep the home phone number for each contact so that when I want to speak to one of them, I can choose the contact and then where to try to reach them. I keep a separate contact for the work so that I can call there when I don't want to talk to anybody specific.

When anybody calls from the work phone, I want the phone to display the work contact, not anybody in particular. Is there any way to specify that a phone number has a default contact?

Thanks!

Best Answer

Try this:

  1. Open contacts
  2. Find the record for you. If you don't have a record for yourself, create one.
  3. Enter the work phone the employees will be calling from into one of your number phone slots.

Now, when the phone rings, it will say something like "Work or 3 others."
