Default A trick for S105 caller ID/Phone Book

Hello everyone,

Well, You all know there is this great feauture in your S105's phone book where you can assign one person different numbers, right? Well the concept is great but Samsung kinda screwed up in applying it.

By default when people call you the phone will only show you their name and there is no way to know if it's "Joe" from work calling or his cell phone or whatever else number you assigned him!

Well you probably know this or if you don't you will eventually figure it out but just thought it's not bad to mention a workaround for this problem:

The answer is Caller Groups and it's found when you go to PHONE BOOK and then option 4, Group Edit.

This way you can define groups like: "Home", "Cell" and so on so forth. Then make sure you choose an icon corresponding to their location as Group Graphics. Like a the house or cell phone icon.

Now assign people's home numbers to "Home" group and so on and TADA :-) when they call you from their home, you get their name + a House icon on the external LCD which tells you where they are calling from.

There is still one limitation to this, if you miss the call, sorry pal! There is no way to find out where they called from. Anyone has any idea how to figure this one out?

Thanks and sorry if this was a repeat :-)
