I have a Nokai 8310.

I have all my names stored on my sim. But for two people in my phonebook, when they ring, or when I ring them , or when I get a text from them, their number appears, not their name. it only happens for two people in my phonebook.

I have deleted them and saved the number direct from the text message but still no joy.

I know this happened me before but that was when I had two names for the same number. That is not the case now.

When I use my old 3310, this problem does not occur.


Any ideas.

Thanks

Hmm....sound weird,but try to do this.

@decbuck

What do u means by "saved the number direct from the text message...."?
This may caused by some special characters wit the names tat can't be appear in 8310.Try to delete the names again n save it again from the main menu.Press the numbers and save it.
I dunno if this would help buy juz some clue from me.:)

@A1

Hmm....did u try to delete and save again?And r u sure tat u hv not saved the same number wit different names?
I means u saved a number for twice but wit different names.
Hope u can get me...:D

Thanks~

I had the same problem with my phone. I finally found the reason that the number just showed and not a name. I had 2 entries for the same number. One had the name the other had a blank space for the name. I tried all the same things you did but didn't get it figured out till I scrolled throught the whole phone book and found the number with a blank entry for the name. I erased the blank entry and the problem went away.
You may have a similar problem - check every phone number entry to be sure you have no blank ones or just spaces for name!

Perhaps I didn;t make my original point clear. I did check for double entries even those with no name.


I think I may have a solution. Try ringing the number from your phone book. Seems to have sorted out the text message problem.

Wow wow wow....:eek: Wat a big trouble u all hv it.
I really dunno wats wrong or any solutions...
Anyway,this is the last solution ive got...(maybe)
Try to add the country code to the number u hv saved.
For example,my country code is (+60 ) and following by the number.Hope this can help.:)

Thanks again~

it is so easy guys
just write that no in a paper then delete it
then get out to the main menu and write that no again then press dial
if it is stored with a different no or as a space that will appear
but if it was not stored u will get the no without names or spaces
