Lumia 730 dialer display number instead of contact...

All my contacts are in international code format. Some of the contacts aren't displayed with international code whenever I receive a call but some are. To be more précised, I purchased phone from India and I am in Oman nowadays. All my India nos are displayed with country code but not Oman nos.

Hi, vijaynaramalli. Does this happen to all contact numbers saved on your phone? You can try turning off the International assist by going to Settings > Application > Phone > International Assist > turn off. If in case this does not work, you may also try rebooting the phone by pressing the power and volume down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds.
We'll wait for your reply.

E63 displaying number instead of contact name

when I first got my new phone I needed to call my wife before I had imported all my contacts etc. Now when she calls or texts me, it just displays her number and not her name. There is no issue with anyone else...
Help!!

Good luck with fixing that problem... It has nothing to do with a reset or duplicate entries. There is a bug in the Nokia E series firmware that prevents the phones from picking up the caller ID of an incoming call from your contacts list. I'm having a huge fight with Nokia about this and they have admitted to me in writing that it is a bug in the firmware.
If you store a contact with the number only and no international prefix the caller id will show up on an incoming call but you'll find your incoming messages will only show the number.
If you store a contact with the international prefix (eg +679) the caller id will NOT show up on an incoming call but you will find that your incoming messages will correctly show the sender ID.
Not all E series phones suffer from the problem but most do. We have about 10 of them in our office (E51, E65, E66, E71) and ALL of them have the same problem. Our network operator, Vodafone, has confirmed the problem lies in the phones.
Nokia has created this problem themselves... there are over 220 versions of the E66, each one setup for a different network and operator. Nokia is no longer able to keep the many thousands of firmware versions that exist on their smart phones straight.
The problem is only going to get worse as they bring out more and more smart phones.
Contrast that with Apple's iPhone. One version of software for the whole world regardless of who the network operator is.
So if I don't get this sorted out with Nokia my E66 is going to be the last Nokia I own.
Because I have just discovered that Nokia just doesn't care.

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!

When I receive text messages, it displays phone number instead of contact name.

I updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 over the weekend. Since updating to iOS 5, all of my text messages show up with a phone number listed instead of the contacts name. I checked my contact info and all the contact information is listed and the numbers under the contact are correct. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you discovered any resolutions?

Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
This worked for me on Verizon.
I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
Ps. PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE

Any suggestions on how to keep a call going successfully? During the course of my conversations, my phone calls end..My cheek touches the screen or my chin dials another number. I am very frustrated. I hold the phone in all directions, but still?

Any suggesstions on ow to successfully complete a call. During the course of a conversation, my face hits the screen and either disconnects the call, switches to Face Time, or dials another number from my Contacts. I hold the phone in all sorts of directions, but still this problem. It is so annoying to the caller and to me! Any suggestion?

The iphone is designed to lock the screen when it is next to your face.
If it is not locking when it is against your ear, then try basic troubleshooting: Restart,reset, restore
Unless you have a case on it. If you have a case, then remove the case and see if that solves it. Otherwise, try basic troubleshooting.
If all fails then make an appointment at the local genius bar or call Apple support to arrange from a replacement.

Text Messages displaying contact phone number instead of name

How can I change the config so that incomming txt messages will disply the contact name instead of their number. For some reason, when I receive a call, the display will indicate the contacts name (this is good), however, with txt messages, it displays their number (would rather have the name).
So if Jane Doe calles me I can clearly see it's Jane Doe calling
When the same Jane Doe txt's me, the display reads their phone number

I had a problem similar to this on other phones, and it had to do with how the number was parsed. When you go into your contacts, is the number the exact same number as the number you receive SMS from? Friends and Family with this issue had it because they either didn't have the area code in front of the contacts number or for some reason, required a 1.
edit:
Also, go into your SMS history and long press on the number. It should pop up a wondow to save to existing contact.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through. The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card.
Try this and see if it helps: turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes. Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

Display Extension Number Instead of Switchboard Number

Hi,
We are using CUCM system in one of our branch office, we want to display extension number instead of switchboard number when we call external. But the telecom company said the dial information we send is "Unknown", need to be changed to "National Effective"... The voice gateway is C2951 and it's configured by vendor before; I can't find any configuration related to that, or maybe there wasn't any. Can someone help with this? Thanks.

Make sure the phones have external phone number mask and under route pattern you have Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask - checked. Then follow the below to set the called party number plan:
If its a MGCP gateway then under the route pattern>called party transfomrations> set the called party number type to local/national/international depending for the respective route pattern.

If its H323/SIP you can use translation rules. Review the below document:

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.

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

Thanks again Chris.
I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
Thanks for your help,
Larry

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

How do I change my incoming calls to view caller's phone number instead of name? This is for numbers not stored in my contacts (i.e. Unknown)

How do I change my incoming call view to see the "phone number" instead of seeing "Unknown" for contacts who are not stored in my phone? Whenever a call comes in it says unknow instead on the phone number that is calling.

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.
