When I ask Siri to send a text to someone's mobile number it's done correctly. However, if I type in the name using either the focus 14 or the onscreen keyboard it defaults to the home number, or in some cases, to the email address. Is there something in settings I need to change? Thanks. God bless! Paula and Garçon

I'm also having some issues with sending texts with the latest update. When I type the name of the person I want to send a text to, the default never seems to be their mobile number. I can get to the mobile number by flicking all the way to the right and double tapping the more info button. Then I can flick to their mobile number. Is there a way I can make the mobile number the default. This happens with anyone that I have more than the mobile number listed in my contacts. Thanks in advance for all the information you all share. I continue to get lots of helpful info from this list. God bless!
