I use a widget to dial my favorite contacts. It automatically dials the "Primary number" I have set for each one. My problem is when a call comes in for a contact on a number listed that isn't the primary, my phone resets the incoming number as primary. For example: I have a restaurant contact with a Main, landline number (Primary) and a second number (Mobile) that the owner uses. If the restaurant owner calls me from her mobile phone, my phone changes the Primary number from the landline to her ,Mobile. If I'm not aware, I make embarrassing calls. I once called the owner of the Japanese Restaurant when she went home to Japan on vacation. Is there any way to keep this from happening so I can still use a widget.
Thanks in advance,
