Nokia 6600 text messaging

Why does my phone occasionally recognise peoples mobile numbers and
correctly display the name of the sender yet with others it just puts
in the sending number???
I have checked the default settings for various numbers and they are
set for mobile numbers.
The only thing I can see which may be causing this is that certain
numbers come in with +44 instead of a 0. This is driving me nuts
HELP!!
Cheers
Steve

Steve,

The "normal" cause for this is in having a duplicate number within your
phone book, SOMEWHERE..

eg// Dave 01234 567890 and another entry of DaveT 01234 567890. Phone gets
confused, don't know which one to present, so as a safety feature (and to
stop the phone exploding in your hands - okay I lied about this bit!), it'll
just display the number.

Check it out

Cheers



Cheers

Also, newer firmware seems a lot better at getting this right. Older
firmware seemed sensitive to numbers matching exactly, etc.

It also identifies the caller by the last 8 numbers so, in my case, it
happened when I had a number with the +44 prefix and one without.
