[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1759511, member: 83420"] MrTutt I suspect that the absence of replies indicates a difficulty in finding solutions. I've done a fair bit of research, but all the "solutions" seem to indicate using Terminal commands or "tinkering" with the iOS. I'll post some links below, but I am sure there must be an easier way. For example, and off the top of my head, could you not separate the number strings with symbols or characters which are not in any way related to a phone number? So, if you have 06/25 followed by 246 1234 - how about June 25;246:1234 - or similar invention which retains meaning for you but doesn't emulate a telephone number? Sorry, not being very helpful. Best I can do.
