Why are my contacts showing up as only the phone number when I get a text message?

[Windows Central Question]

contact list (address book)

I am using nokia 730 dual , i have done my address book with the phone numbers with out country code but some times I got massages / phone calls with the country code, for those who are in my contact list with out the country code , those cases phone is not showing the contact name it shows only the number with the country code.

Same thing happen when massage or phone call coming with out the leading zeros also not display the name

Re: contact list (address book)

Best way to add a contact is always with the country code, but use the + prefix.

E.g. +44 1212 123123 for UK or +1 123 123 123 for the USA.

The phone will then always make a contact work and display. Unless your local carrier has weird network configuration issues.
