TS2755 Messaging displays contact phone numbers instead of contact names.

My Messaging displays contact phone numbers instead of contact names.  This just started happening and I do not recall changing any settings. How do I restore to display contact names again?

Make sure the numbers are assigned to a contact.

    why is Messages now showing phone numbers instead of contact names.  any ideas?

    Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

    my saved iPhone contacts are now displayed as phone numbers. I've added again as new contacts. After awhile, they revert back to phone numbers. What's wrong? It's happened several times today.

  • Some incoming calls and messages display the phone number instead of name

    I recently upgraded from a Blackberry to an iPhone 4s. When I receive a call or SMS on the 4s it often displays only the phone number instead of the name at the top of the screen even though I the correct name and phone number are entered the correct fields in the iPhone address book. I assume there was some kind of conflict when I imported the names from the blackberry (or from my Google contacts list - I can't remember which now). Have any of you experienced this problem? How did you get it resolved?

    Umm,
    I cannot replicate this.
    If I deliberately send to my iPhone Number and reply to that (My iPhone is set to use the iPhone Number) after I have moved Messages behind another app the Notification show my Name and not the number.
    I am using iCloud to sync the Contacts apps.

  • Contacts showing up as phone numbers instead of by name in messages

    How do i fix this issue? I can go to the contacts app and the names will show up there.

    Hi,
    I take it these are iMessages contacts ?
    Are you using iCloud to Sync your Contacts apps info ?
    In Messages > Preferences > Accounts > Details Button (You will need to sign in again) do you have the correct Country/Region set ?
    This can effect the adding of the correct Country Code prefix to your own number and distort the coming form the Contacts app if the number there don't include a Country Code.

  • My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

    My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?  It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list.  Can anyone help?  I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

    Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue.  I got a new phone and restored my contacts.  If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown.  I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
    I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

  • How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    If you're with Verizon, here's what I found on the boards:
    Dial *228, press 1 when the nice lady answers and wait until she tells you your phone has been successfully programmed.
    Then hang up, and press the home key twice rapidly and delete the open/running apps that appear there - delete from that second screen, NOT from the Dock at the bottom of your home screen!  You don't want to delete the programs, you just want to close the open/running apps.
    Wait 5 minutes or so, then voila!  Mine was fixed!

    Are the contact details in your contacts app, the phone app uses the contact app to put names against telephone numbers.

  • Contacts appearing as phone numbers instead of names...how do i fix this?

    I just updated my 4s software today...as soon as it updated, my previous phone calls and messages are now listed by the person's phone number instead of their name...because I do not know everyone's phone number off the top of my head, this makes messaging and receiving calls difficult.  How do I fix this?!

    I have my phone numbers stored in contacts but when I go to type a message in messages I get all the contacts I have deleated plus my partners contacts to ?....

    Deleted information or previously used information (your partners) does not get "shredded/destroyed" but placed in storage/cache in order to be overwritten when space is necessary for the device. Since size of those contacts files is very insignificant, that overwrite takes very long time. The only way to completely get rid of that info is to go through complete erase/restore of the phone. All other data will be lost and have to be restored back the way that will not bring cache back. Essentially - no restore from the backup.
