Contact # labeled iPhone instead of Mobile

[JMody]

Anyone know if there is a way to label a contacts phone number as an iPhone instead of Mobile? I use gmail for all my contacts. I've tried changing the custom label to iPhone in the google interface online however it just deletes the contact from the phone.

Any ideas?

You can tap the "Mobile" label (or any other label in blue) when editing a Contact which brings up a list to select other choices.

Or select "mobile" type one digit, then the "iphone" row will appear underneath. Works for me

iPhone isn't on that list of other choices for me. Thanks for the response though.

After u typed one digit into the mobile box, have u scrolled down just a bit. Because the iPhone box appears but then gets covered by the onscreen keyboard. So just scroll down a little. U should find it ))

Hope it works

U have iOS 6.0.1 right? And which iPhone? Might make a difference dunno

When you tap edit for an existing contact or the plus sign (+) for a new contact you should get this screen


Now if you tap the word Mobile next to the word Phone you should get this screen

Here you can select iPhone or whatever for the label

Except when using Gmail. I just switched my iCloud contacts off and the gmail on and tried to add a new one. No option with the gmail contacts for iPhone.

Ah I see, google has its way again.
I don't use gmail for my contacts.

Having been in your shoes on this one, add the contacts to iCloud using a computer so you can read the info off the phone while you type them. Little easier than trying to do it on the phone.
