How to make iPhone forget a text contact?

Long story short, I deleted someone's contact, but when I type in the name in the "send to" field for texting the contact name with the number is an option to send to, I don't even want to see that name of that person or their number but my iPhone is "remembering" it. And I want it to "forget" it but I don't know how, help please?

Based on the manner that you described your phone is behaving, you did *not* successfully delete this person's contact information from your iPhone. Do that first.

Then create a "Unknown Caller" entry in your iPhone's address book, then add that person's phone to that contact.

A good practice is to also assign silent ringtone and text tones to that "Unknown Caller" entry. Short of having your cellular carrier block their number, this is the easiest way to deal with someone you don't wish to communicate with again.

  • What do you do if you forget your iPhone password? There's a password that you put in when you start up the iPhone, but it is not the lock screen password. This password is used if you need to reset any of the settings. I forgot the password, how can I reset it?
  • What do I do when I forget my iPhone passcode? I was in the car with my sister yesterday and she saw me putting in my passcode so I changed it to something different but I think it was a complete random number and now I can't remember what it was. I haven't synced my phone to iTunes on my computer yet because I haven't needed music, but now I can't restore it. It says i need to unlock my iPhone before it can connect to it. Is there anything I can do?
  • What can I do when I forget my iphone passcode? One of my friends put a passcode on my phone, so I asked her what it was, and she tells me she doesn't know because she was just goofing around putting random numbers. It won't let me restore the phone without the passcode. It won't let me put it in DFU mode or Recovery mode. Verizon can't do anything, and we have no local Apple stores. Plus I can't get another phone for a year. Does anyone know of any way they can help me!
