Naming devices

maxidog — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 21:43:25 GMT

Is there a way to name or identify each different mobile device on the app?

Thanks

Yes, put each no. in your Contacts with a name & allow the app to access the Contacts.

Thanks

do you mean use the “sync contacts”?
I was concerned that might sync contacts across all 3 numbers???

Yes, Sync Contacts.

Found it! (Not sync contacts!)

trouble is it only works if I allow full access to all my contacts. If I just limit it to the 3 whose numbera are on the EE app it shows nothing!

come on EE this is poor. I shouldnt need to give access to all contacts for me to see the names of 3!! 😖

thank you anyway XRaySpeX

Is there any harm in giving access to all Contacts? It'll only use those nos. under your a/c.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.

That sounds like a phone issue.

Don’t know. It works when I give access to all, but not when I limit it. Oh well worth a try thanks
