V3 problems (UK)

here's hoping you guys can help!



when phonebook numbers are stored in 'domestic' format e.g.
07715 xxxxxx
the caller is recognised when they call but NOT when they send a SMS

when phonebook numbers are stored in 'international' format e.g.
+447715 xxxxxx
the caller is recognised when they send a SMS but NOT when they call!

Apart from storing all mobile numbers in both formats, any suggestions?

Why not just use international format for everything?
Or enter the international format as a secondary number for each
entry.

I can't use the international format for everything because it won't
recognise that for incoming calls. I have stored each mobile number in both
formats for now but it's a pain having to scroll thru duplicate entries

Well, I'm in the UK and have a black V3 and do NOT get the symptoms you are
reporting.

I have just done a test with both the normal format 07764 xxxxxx and the
international format +447764 xxxxxx and in both cases, the correct Name was
shown on both the call and the SMS!! The only time I do not see the name
directly is when the call is missed and I get a message "1 call missed - 0
unknown", but I just then press the "view" button to see the caller
details.

Are you sure that this is not a network-specific problem? I am on O2 if
that helps at all.

I'm also on o2, and its also the black one, although I am using my work's
SIM at the moment whilst I am waiting for the number to be transferred to my
new SIM. I assume there is no connection to that fact? - A new SIM can't
make any difference to this can it?

Are the numbers stored on the SIM or the phone??

All of my contacts are on the phone and not the SIM.

Give that try.

have fixed the problem
