Re: N80 not displayin name on received texts anyone help ?

guessing could be if you have them saved as international dialling code, ie with th +44, then it would confuse the phone when 07etc texts/calls you.
other thought - if you have them saved on phone memory and the n80 is looking at sim memory only perhaps?
i have same phone but haven't noticed same problem, i'll see if i can replicate it later today (once i've painted new cloakroom, entrance hall, dining room.... ) on second thoughts perhaps it will be tomorrow before i get a proper look!

usually when names dont display properly on incoming calls/texts its because you have the same number stored for more than one contact, so it doesnt know which one to display so it displays nothing

i.e you have the same number stored as "Home" and "Dad" or something
