Have you tried using somebody's mobile phone number to make an audio phone call? When you're entering in a new contact in the contacts app, and you do command-n for new contact. I swee a first and last name field. Then after that there is a scroll area that I have to interact and eventually a popup field with work home and more just before the field that let's me enter in an email address. Is that how yours is set up? Jim
