SMS displays incorrect phone number to receiver

Although I have Caller ID set and verified, SMS messages are being received with a different phone number (+xxxxxxxxxx  Receivers cannot reply to sent messages, and don't know who is sending.

Same problem for me. It shows a UK number, completely different than the one I have indicated and verified. IOt worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. I didn't see any answers to previous problems, so I guess it's all screwed up,...

    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.

  • Can I display my phone number on 4S?

    Is it possible to display my phone number on either the top menu bar, or the home screen itself?
    Thanks in advance!!

    If you create a wallpaper graphic with your phone number in it, and set that as the lock screen wallpaper it will display. There's no way to put it in the status bar.

  • Receiving sms to skype phone number

    Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to receive SMS texts to your skype phone number?  I have a phone number associated with my skype account and would like to send as well as receive to this number.

    This does not work for me. 
    I am on Skype 5.7.0.1130 for the Mac.
    In the Skypereferences . . . :Messaging windoid.
    I click on the "Set Number..." dropdown menu and type in my mobile phone number. I keep getting the message that "Error on sending code to mobile phone" etc.
    Now -- perhaps this is my issue, I have a brand new Skype mobile phone number for Germany. So new that I just got it two days ago. I was expecting to be able to send and receive text messages on this -- primarily from my bank and places like that which send you secret codes to your SMS when you are trying to log in. Does this work? Can it work? Why is it so hard to actually talk to a Skype Customer Support person??

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Phone doesn't accept SMS Code for phone number ver...

    I've tried to get a Skype support rep. to solve my problem with no positive results. I'm now turning to the skype Community for help.
    W want to have my phone number appear on the person's phone that I call. Skype says you can do this by setting up Called ID. They will send you a verrification code by SMS message. The problem is I have SMS messaging turned off on my phone, so it does not accept SMS messages, so I cannot receive the Verification Code.  Has anyone been able to get past this obsticle? Can they send me an email with the verification code?

    Sorry NMGuy,
    I cannot help, as I am in the same situation as you are, and am joining my voice to yours.
    I don't get SMS on my Iphone, so I cannot receive and enter the code for the caller ID option.
    Skype assumes that everybody uses SMS?, and it is very difficult to get in touch with their customer support!
    Anybody has a workaround?

  • 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?

  • SMS and Outlook Phone Number Extenstion

    I don't know if this is a N95 or a PC Suite problem.
    I have used different computers, PC Suite versions and N95 firmware versions to test this.
    I create a contact in Outlook and add a phone number.
    For examle:
    Country: Germany
    Area Code: 123
    Phone Number: 4567
    Extension: 89
    This is shown as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 in Outlook and
    this is synced as +49 (123) 4567 x 89 to my N95.
    I like the x so I can see the extension easily. But when I
    try to write a SMS and select this contact and the phone
    number, I always get "Invalid Contact details: ..."
    Is this a problem with my N95 or with the PC Suite? I cannot
    enter the "x" manually in my phone so I think this shouldn't
    be synced. But it would be nice if I could enter it.
    Marc

    I pretty much agree. I have an N95 and also use Outlook 2003. I sync using PC Suite (6.85.14.1). I'm pretty sure I did not have this problem with my previous phone (6680) but if I use the formatting for the phone numbers as provided by Outlook 2003, then they get synced to the N95 as something like +44 (07801) 123456. The N95 will not work with that number so I have to edit them before I can use them - tedious.
    In fact, it is only necessary to delete the nought at the beginning of the area code, so +44 (7801) 123456, will work.
    It would be very helpful if the N95 software could spot the international code and then ignore a following nought. Maybe that doesn't apply to all countries, but I guess it would help a lot of us!

  • Incorrect phone number on Voice Message alert

    I'm a newbie here, so please be patient.
    I received an email alert saying that I had a new voice message.
    It said, "left by ...+****************"
    Obviously, I noticed the number was odd, but I was able to listen to the voice message OK.
    However, I cannot reply by clicking on and calling the number back, as Skype then tells me it is not a valid number!
    Anyone have any clues please?

    I see that the actual (but invalid) phone number quoted by Skype has been starred out, so just to clarify, it started with +444 (yes, 3 x 4s) followed by a further 11 numbers.
