My 6600 doesnt give me the contact name of the person sending me a msg, even though they are in my phonebook on the phone.

All i get is the phone number of the person sending the msg.

can anybody tell me why its doin this and how to fix it?

thanx in adv

sounds like a software bug, and what memory in use are you use BOTH or SIM or PHONE MEMORY

Also, as an experiment, are you storing numbers in the +(country)(area)(number) format?

Just to confirm, the area code is without the 0 (zero). You'll should have numbers like +64 21 XYZ WYZ or +64 4 462 WXYZ.

Hey guys,

Nah its not a bug ... more the fact you will have doubled up contacts in your address book

IE two contacts with the same number

just go into outlook, edit out the mobile numbers and re snyc with the phone .. or just manually edit them in your 6600

I thought I was going mental too until I click :)
