No 'Name' just phone number when receiving messages

Posting on this board also to see if anyone else as had this issue pop up today...
This literally just happened to me. Had the 4S since last Friday. All my contacts come through Google and they've worked perfectly until now. Now, when I get a text or a call, it only shows the number, and not the contact, even though everything in the Contacts app is current and correct.
Why o why did this just start happening!?
I've tried 2 reboots...
It seems on some numbers it wants to put a +1 in front of it all of a sudden? It was NOT doing this previously. Just started an hour ago and it is driving me nuts I even tried deleting and re-adding my Google account. Again, all the contacts show up correctly, but the numbers aren't "linking" for some reason. Very odd. An hour ago I had a message from Tom. Now it says message or call from +1 (515) 555-5555 (diff. # obviously).
Anyone know a fix!?
PS. After digging further and another reboot, it may only be happening with iMessage contacts?
I should not have to edit any contacts. This has been working perfectly for a week...
Thanks!

While I unfortunately don't have a solution for you, this has been happening to some of my friends so this issue is not just happening to you.

  • IGNORE!!! After updating to OS X 10.8.3, my iMessage on my MacBook Pro and my iPad 3 no longer recognizes my phone number or receives messages therefrom. I have signed out of my account, signed back in and synced. No avail.

    I have synced my phone to my MacBook Pro. I have signed in and out of my account on all devices. The iMessage properties do not even list my phone number any longer. I can send and receive based on my e-mail, but it doesn't even give me the option to add my phone number. Anyone else having this problem after updating to OS X 10.8.3?

  • HT201412 what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address  book where contacts are.

    what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address  book where contacts are.

    I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.
    Cheers.

  • If I store name's phone number with a country code eg.  218-925555555 and I receive a call as 0925555555 then only number is appeared and no name appears

    if I store a name with phone number with a country code eg. +218-925555555 and I receive a call from that pearson then only number ( 0925555555 ) is appeared but no name.
    and visa versa when I store  925555555 and I receive a call from that pearson then only number ( +218-925555555 ) is appeared but no name.
    moreover, the same happens with messaging

    "Sales clerk asked me if I had a Sims card for it. I told him that there`s one in my old phone. He explained to me that it was not going to be working..."
    Or were you referring to the one in the old temporary replacement device? Would that even be compatible with the newer phones?
    The one that wasn't working had a 4G LTE SIM card in it. It should have usable in the replacement Razr. It was only until I read the OP a third time this morning that there might be a third device involved. It would be nice if people would give more specifics on what devices are active at what time. Then the readers of this community can follow the progression of the events better.

    To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
    The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

  • TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this?  i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

    How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory?  I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

    You would have to restore as new.

  • HT5760 Can I enter a phone number to text message?

    I want to send a group text but using only phone numbers.  Can this be done and if so, how do I separate each phone number.

    when you leave a space the os should recognize this as a new number or destination. Please note that if not all of your contacts in your group have imessenger (iphone or ipod or ipad) they will not be able to reply to everyone, you will receive a message back as a solo message from the person. but the other people in the group will not see their response.

  • It won't display the names of my contacts when they message me.

    Got a brand new iPhone in the mail, restored it from my old iPhone, and now it's not showing the names of my contacts when they message me even though I have their number in my contacts list. I have tried the add to contacts button but that dosent work either. Please help its a little irritating when someone texts me and I have to ask who it is.

    If you do not see this at the top of the display I would try a reset.
    Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Lost my phone number when switching to Sky BUT can...

    Lost my phone number when switching to Sky BUT can I get it back if I switch to BT line rental?
    Hi, my elderly parents switched to Sky FROM TalkTalk for their phone & BB several months ago and between TT not wanting to release the number ( I believe)  and Sky wanting the money the switch went ahead even tho` Sky assured that if there were any probs the trans` would be halted.. Yeah pigs fly..
    I know that this prob is between the evil twins but I have read that if the line was transfered to BT then the number could be recovered?
    I have been told by TT that the number has been given back to Openreach and it is now not possible for them to re-activate it so Sky could then transfer it to them.
    I have spent several months (on & off) many phone calls and emails/letters to try and resolve this..
    Is this possible or have I been fed another load of untruths?
    Could my father wait until he is out of contract with Sky and switch to BT if BT can recover his number?
    I know that a diff number seems trivial but they are both getting on and keep forgeting they have a new number ( they had the number for 30+ years)
    Any advice MUCH appreciated.. I had hair before all this happened

    Its one of the risks you take, when you change service providers. Its a common problem which has been mentioned a number of times on this forum.
    Service Providers like to keep you as a customer, and can make it very difficult for you, even though they are not supposed to.
    Sometimes there are technical reasons why a number cannot be retained, especially if its a provider with their own exchange equipment and core network.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Get phone number when open tcp socket

    I can get phone number and other info of phone when mobile connect to server by http on GPRS, but can I get phone number when connect by tcp socket?

    When you open a tcp connection by socket from mobile phone to IP server, you use ip end to end connectivty. In fact, when you use GPRS support on your mobile phone this one have a public IP address used to establish an IP connection to an other IP device.
    If you want to get the phone number, two solutions :
    1/ you transmit the phone number like a datastream on you socket. But it's a static solution, because you must enter the mobile number as a input (through a textfield form or somethink like that)
    2/You take the phone number in the memory of your mobile phone (Agenda). But it's so compicated because that's depend of type of mobile. The memory design is dedicated mobile by mobile.

  • Is there any way to edit phone number hyperlinks received in SMS messages prior to calling them?

    Just got a new iPhone 4s for work.  I receive text messages from an answering service containing phone numbers to return calls.  On my Windows smartphone, when I clicked the hyperlink for the phone number, it gave me the option to edit the number (for example, to add an area code prefix or *67 to block my number) prior to dialing.  Is there any way to do this on the iPhone 4s

    If not part of your iPhone backup, they are gone.
