Contact number taken for SMS after contact selection #26

Existing number from a contact is taken provided the number is stored under "mobile" (you can not change it - is not user friendly so). Could we take any existing number in case there is no mobile number. the participants have many contacts and they often do not have mobile as the type. So in case there's no mobile number take any number that's there.

Once a contact is picked, I can decide which number I take, the problem is that, for the user, he will no able to decide which number he wants manually (in the case the user has 2 mobile numbers for example).

I would say we take

  1. mobile number if not empty
  2. any other number that exists (if they have an order we'll take number 1) this is of course suboptimal. In case there are more mobile numbers one should be able to choose. but we can leave this for later. Currently the problem is that people don't get any number because 'mobile' is not the default category that most of the contacts have for their main (and mostly only) number
