Outlook address book- display mobile numbers?

How can I make my address book display display mobile phone numbers? I managed to sychronize my mobile phone address book with Outlook Express 6, using a USB cable. Now I want to download it to my address book on my new mobile phone. (This should be much easier than just putting in the sim card, as my sim only holds 250 contacts, wheareas the mobile phone itself holds lots more, & it's very fiddly switching sim cards, then copying from card to phone, deleting from card, back into old phone, copying again, etc. etc...) But before that, I want to check over my address book to delete old, duplicated & unwanted contacts. The problem is, when I display my address book, it lists Name, E-Mail Address, Business Phone, & Home Phone. I cannot find a way of making it list Mobile Phone, even though this info is stored on it; if I click on any entry & click Properties, it correctly lists Mobile under the Summary tab, also Mobile number can be edited under Home tab.

In Outlook Express Help, search for address book mobile lists ... 0 topics found.

Any ideas? Thanks

 

I could be wrong but I believe Outlook Express and the Address Book simply are not designed to be synchronized with mobile phones. Now, perhaps Outlook is designed to be synchronized with mobile phones, but not Outlook Express.

I suggest you visit the website of your mobile phone service or contact by phone or email to ask about what computer-based address books or contacts lists can be synchronized with your mobile phone.

 

Hmmm, thanks for that suggestion usafveteran, & I appreciate your quick reply. It's a sonyericsson mobile phone, (probably a cellphone to you!) & I'm using their software (free from their website). I have Outlook 2000 as well, so I'll try that but I think when I last tried it about a month ago the address book looked the same as Outlook Express. I hope to try it over the weekend. Another possible solution I've discovered is to export the address book to a csv text file, then open that in Excel, then check over & edit the numbers, then re-import it into outlook & then to my phone. I just hope it's not too complicated & that it works!

 

Also, yes I have asked Sony Ericsson about this & am awaiting a reply

 

Yes, an address book can also be used with Outlook, but I was referring to Outlook "Contacts", not the address book.
