Windows Phone : Find the phone number from which an SMS is received or Sent to

Have you ever able to figure out from which number you received an SMS when a contact has multiple phone numbers. In fact the same problem happens with a received call but thanks fully you can find out by tapping on it.

So the question remains that how do you identify the number from which the SMS was received from or sent to. Well you cannot identify with a tap but you can do with these extra steps :

• Open the SMS thread for which you want to check.
• Tap on the Switch button
• Next you will see a list of numbers associated with that contact, and the one which is highlighted with the accent colour is the number to which either the SMS was sent to received.

Even though this looks to solve the problem, but there is another problem. Since the SMS is threaded, you can only find the number associated with the last SMS sent or received. There is no option that pops in when you long press or select one of the SMS.

In case the contact is connected with its respective Facebook account, you can also see that highlighted if your last conversation was on Facebook chat.
