Motorola E815 / E816 Hollywood

is there a way to avoid the next screen which displays the phone number? i dont need this screen and don't understand why we have to have it. If i'm replying to someone, of course it is the same number that it came in on!

i tried checking show only primary numbers in the menu but it did nothing

I've had this phone for months and i still start typing as soon as i hit reply until i see i'm actually just putting more numbers into the existing phone number - so aggrivating
