Number display on N80 incoming calls

I have a new N80 and have sync'd it with outlook 2003 contacts. This has worked well and I can make calls OK. When I receive calls only the number is displayed-not the callers name? Caqn this be corrected?I haqve transferred numbers to SIM card but there is still no name display.

Re: Number display on N80 incoming calls

In all likelihood, you have duplicate contacts with the same numbers. In that case when a call comes in, the phone does not know which name to show, so it shows none.

Re: Number display on N80 incoming calls

I am experiencing the same problem - called number is displayed instead of caller name both on incoming calls and text messages.

I have checked to ensure that any duplicate numbers have been removed and that conhtact details are only stored in the phone and not also on the SIM.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When you recive the call the number is displayed with your country code. When you added your contact you didnt enter the code. This could be another way.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately no. I've tried manipulating the country code and replacing the leading zero of the mobile number with +61 ...but no luck.

Re: Number display on N80 incoming calls

I'm with the person above who says you probably have duplicates. Alternatively, your network isn't sending caller IDs ..

Solved! Removing duplicates from the contacts list and using a consistent number format resolves the issue and displays names with incoming calls and messages. Many thanks to the clever folks who responded and best wishes to all for the festive season!
