I have a Nokia N1600, but i wonder why it can't recognize sender name in SMS. If I save contacts with country code in front of contact number, it can do that. But when I remove the country code, the phone only display sender number. So I have to get sender number, remove country code, then press call button to know his name. Everybody know how to fix it?

Why does my Nokia device only show phone number of caller or SMS sender, although they are listed in my contacts? The calling phone number may not match with a contact name and the name is not shown in the following situations when an incoming call or SMS arrives:

• The contact is defined twice in the Contacts application (e.g. if both Phone memory and SIM memory contacts have been selected to be displayed in Contacts settings and the same contact is found in both of them).
• The same phone number is defined for two or more contacts.
• The phone number in Contacts application is in different format than the number received in the incoming call. The phone number may have been stored in local format while the incoming call number is in international format (including country prefix), or vice versa. The number may not be properly matched with a contact name in this situation, depending on the device variant and the length of the calling number. In order to verify the correct format of the contact phone number (local or international), check the number which is shown when the call is received and edit the contact details accordingly.

If the problem persists, make sure your Nokia device is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website.

this problem occurs when phone internal memory is low or corrupted, first do a contacts backup and complete back up on storage card, then do a factory reset from phone setting, and restore contacts fro card. if problem still persists do a online software update by downloading nokia software updater from nokia we site

You have to save your friends number in full format including country code.

just enter the country code before the number

Hello, I had the same problem, but i figured out how to get the callers id/information. On the main page select Call Center>>Call History>> SIM1(or whichever you are using)>> and select either the Missed/Dialed/Received calls. Lets choose Dialed Calls for now. Select a phone number that you recognize>>select OK>>Options>>Save to Phonebook. In here you will create a new contact. Make sure you delete this old contact information from your phone book. (so you don't have doubles if already saved to your contact list). Now you can go to your main menu again and select the phone book option. Select the contact you have created and add a photo and ring tone you like. Now when you get a call you get their photo and rign tone. For sms you get only their name, but thats good enough for me.

I got a better solution for you. Its because the iphone is not designed for Australian phone numbers. Mine was the same.

On your installer add the source installer.iclarified.com
Then add a package called appsupport 1.1.4 and voila, your contacts will match up with your sms's and call logs automatically

store the contacts number as +44 instead of 07 or what ever your country code is if not UK
