Non display of senders name on text messages

Hi
On my Nokia 1100 when I recieve a text from a contact in my address book, the phone DOES NOT display their name, only their number.
How can I set the phone so that it displays names?
Thanks!!
Richard

Is this the same with incoming / outgoing calls? If so, chances are the number's in your memory twice - possibly in the Sim memory and Phone Memory - delete one, then see if their names show up. (Make a note of it first just incase it's not and you lose it)

  • My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book

    My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book.
    Recently updated with iOS 5.1.1, I've read elsewhere about a possible bug associated with the update?

    Hello, Sue.Darby. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend having your friend check to see if call and message blocking is enabled on their end.  Here is some information regarding that feature.

  • I am having tremendous difficulty sending simple voice text messages, or typed text messages to non I-phone users. Picture text messages will not send at all and can only be sent to other i-phone users. Is anyone else haing this problem ??  Big concern

    Well this is stupid - I wrote the question above and now it is telling me the message is blank - how dumb is this.
    I am having tremendous difficulty sending sipmle typed texts, voice texts and picture text messages to non I- phone users.
    Simple text messages are sporadic and seem to be impacted by whether I incluse a subject or not - picture texts will not go at all.
    Anyone else having this problem ???

    It's a corporate phone so will need to check. Will not send text messages to non I-phones if they contain a "subject" or a picture.  Wierd - regular voice or typed text messages are fine.

  • Displaying the senders name when a text message is...

    The 5800 and 5530 don't dispaly the name of the sender when a text message is received, right?
    Well so I thought. and I wasn't too happy about it as all my previous phones had this facility.
    Then a few days ago I got a message on my 5530 and when I looked at the screen there waa white star overlaying the image of the sender on my contacts bar.
    Great, I thought, I'd never noticed that before! But how could this be? I haven't had a firmware upgrade or anything.
    Since then I've found that I occasionally get the star on messages from this one contact, but not on messages from any of my other contacts.
    What's going on?  I've searched the web and can find no references to this at all.
    Have any other users noticed this feature? And can anyone explain why it doen't work for all contacts?

    you will have a double entry of the contact, if more than one name attached to a number the phone doesn't know who sent it,eg if you have John Smith and Johns Mobile attached to 123456 then the phone sees the number and doesn't know who sent it, check your contacts and delete duplicate/multiple entries, many threads on this subject on the forum. Always the reason !
    Good Luck

  • How do I disable my Apple ID as my display name for text messages?

    I recently purchased the Macbook Pro with retina display and now when I send text messages from my phone or computer it displays my Apple ID instead of my name to the recipient. I have tried changing the settings with iMessage on my macbook but it won't go away. How can I disable this feature?

  • 9300i stops displaying names in text messages

    I have a 9300i phone and until two days ago it displayed the text sender's name for received messages. Now it displays the number. This is happening with all messages and they are in my address book with the correct number.
    If i select a text message and press 'call sender' it then displays the number and also the name from my contacts.
    I don't remember changing any settings.
    Has anyone experienced this before?
    Is there a setting I can check to turn on name resolution?
    Thanks, Stu.

    no, it was very strange i rebooted the phone twice and that didnt work.
    I was typing a text message and it bombed, and when it came back up again it seems to be working properly now.
    That is, i've had two texts and it shows both names correctly. I'll have to see how it goes.

  • IOS5 displaying phone number instead of name in text message screen

    At the top of the text message screen, where it used to say the recipient's name, it now says their phone number.  I cannot find any settings as to change this.  It happens to others who have iMessage on.  If they do not have an iPhone, or their iMessage is off, it still says their name.

    I fixed this problem by:
    1. Turn iMessage off
    2. Turn iMessage on
    3. Verify contact is in contact list
    4. Deleting the text message series prior to the one you want to send.  Say you've texed Bob Dole 1000 times, delete the entire thread.  Then, hit new message, load Bob Dole from contacts, and send. 
    For me, this ended the above problem.

  • IPhone not showing contacts names in text messaging after sync AND reset

    Three days ago, I bought the iPhone 4S as an updgrade from the 3GS. I also transferred my wireless service plan from AT&T to Verizon. Since doing that, very strange things are happening. For example, my contacts appeared to transfer without a problem, but whenever I attempt a call to a number that does not have a "1" stored in front of it, it tells me that I am attempting a long-distance or international call and the call won't go thru unless I place a 1 in front of the number and store it that way. Also, whenever I send text messages and someone replies, their message comes back to my phone under the phone number only and not the name that is stored in my contacts. This happens even when the contact sends a direct message to me that is not a reply. (Imagine all the "Merry Christmas" messages I received yesterday that I have no idea who they were from, except the 5 out of 300 contacts whose numbers I have memorized!!) I have gone to the Apple Store and the "Genius" there reset my phone, which temporarily fixed the problem, but now it is back. I did a soft reset, now it randomly selects which names will show up in my text message window. (For example, yesterday, the name "Jane" shows a message that says "Merry Christmas", but after the reset, only Jane's number shows up in the text screen with the same message from yesterday.)
    Does anyone know what in the world is going on?? This is Very Annoying! I'm tempted to go back to AT&T, as I am being told that the iphone technology, even for 4S, is not as compatible on Verizon as it is with AT&T. Please help!  

    Not sure about the random contact name problem. I suspect a bad database. Use iTunes to delete and replace your contacts with a good list. If that doesn't work, do a 100% software reset and don't restore a backup, setup as a new device. Finally, if that fails go back to the apple store. The issue is not software fixable and the unit should be replaced.
    The other issue with 1 dialing required... are you roaming? Disable wifi, should say Verizon 3G in the status bar.
    When you are off your home area cell network, you are not dealing with Verizon directly.
    Edit: your last question about using a Verizon 4S on AT&T's network. You are correct, out of the box the Verizon 4S is locked to only work on Verizon's network. The AT&T 4S and Sprint 4S have the same locks. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from apple. I've also heard of people convincing Sprint customer service to unlock their phones for use out of the country,

  • Pc suite restore not saving names for text message...

    Hi, I have a nokia N95 and recently got the N95 8gb. I backed up everything from my original N95 using pc suite and then restored onto my new handset and i found that it has done everything except it has not saved the names with the text messages, just the numbers. The names are in the phone book and aren't duplicated. It has saved names for the my picture messages just not text messages. I am finding it really annoying!! I hope someone is able to solve this for me! Thanks

    You can try to restore category by category: phonebook first then the text messages. I'm not sure if it works. But it seems to be caused by the wrong order of restore.

  • Number vs name in text messages

    When I receive text messages, some texts show me the name of the sender and some show only the cell number. All numbers/names are in my contact list. I have removed and replaced the battery. Verizon tech spt says the next option is to wipe my cell. How do I get all text messages to show the name of the sender?

    All my numbers have area codes.
    Make sure they do not have the leading 1 before the area code also. Second, did you enter any on your own??
    Or did you receive a text and attach a name for each contact??? 
    For those coming through with just a number, I would add them to your contact list and see if that corrects the issue.

  • How To Display Current Page Name in Text Box Titles?

    <BR>I have a report which uses a page dimension. When I print out the report, it does display the page dimension member in plain text, near the beginning of the report. But I would like to incorporate the current page value in the formatted report title, a text box.<BR><BR>The "MemberAlias" command, for example, looks like this:<BR><BR>(( MemberAlias("GridName", Row/Col/Page, "DimName") ) )<BR><BR>(substituting the less-than, greater-than symbols for parentheisis just for this web forum)<BR><BR>If I put a number in as the second element in the function, that hard-codes the report to print the page 1 value on each page of the printout. Unfortunately, Reports doesn't allow the "current" value in a text box. Is there a way to do this?

    hi,
    is there any generic fix for this. if we want to display then we need to change the each page CO . is it a possible solution. or any generic solution. Please provide
    Thanks

  • Problem with Text Messaging on new iphone with non iphone users

    Ever since I set up imessage forwarding to be able to send/receive text messages on both my mac book pro and iphone people with non iphones are not getting my text messages from either device. 
    In my settings - messages - text message forwarding it only has one device enabled which is my mac book pro.  There is an option to enable my iphone. Do I need to do that? I did try and it's asking me for a code.  If i do need to do this where on my phone do i get this code? Thank you.

    Have you tried reporting the problem to AT&T?

  • Different contact options when creating a new text message

    Hi all,
    On my Q10, I have the following "issue":
    When I want to type a new sms message to somebody listed in my contacts, I get not only the mobile phone number linked to that contact person but also e-mail addresses, fixed number...
    Is there any way I can change a setting for this so that only mobile numbers are displayed while creating a new text message (SMS)? Fixed phone number and mail addresses are just not relevant.
    On the other hand, when I want to create a new e-mail, I only see the mail addresses of my contact I am sending to.
    In my blackberry HUB I have following account (most probably the reason why I see other contact details while creating new text messages):
    Mail
    Facebook
    LinkedIn
    Please advise.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
