Including the "Other Phone" Filed when synching Contacts Clive 07-23-2007

 I am synch'ing my Outlook 2007 Contacts from my Vista PC, to my Windows
Mobile 5 Device. I am not getting the "Other Phone" field in Outloook
synch'd to my mobile device. Is there a way that I can configure the
Phone/Sycnhonisation set up to include this field?

 By default the "oher" field does get synchronize. I suggest you use
the Home2 field instead.

Thanks Linley. Is there any way to get the "other" field to synchronize. I
have a lot of phone numbers in this field (which is a reult of synchronising
contacts from a Nokia phone (via the Nokia software suite).

There is no way to get ActiveSync to sync the other field. There is also no
built in way to bulk move your phone numbers from the other field to one of
the fields that syncs, although I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a 3rd
party tool that does this. Worst case they need to be moved manually.
Sorry I don't have better news for you

Would there be independent software that would allow this?
