Hi Jackie,
My N96 8GB does just as yours in terms of announcing names,
regardless of whether the +44 is there or not.
I'd also be interested in how these infernal things now look
up names. In my old Nokia 6300i or whatever it was, if I
searched for the letter o for example, I'd get "Office" come
up. In the N95 I also seem to get any surname with o as
well listed, like Ben Ong, Elaine Olson.
Why can't I look up either First or Last name and not both?
(Or is that information buried deep in the destructions
somewhere?)
George.

Steve, I've asked him to do this, and will let you know what
he reports back. I would hate to disagree with you me old
mucker, but I don't think the +44 scenario is his problem.
I have some contacts in my book without the +44 in them, and
their names always come up when I receive a text message, or
when they have called me when checking the log.
Anyway, another question for you while on the mobile thread,
but not specific to the 6600. In my contacts, I have them
set to announce first name first. But when I receive a text
message, the last name of the sender appears first. Can you
change this so that it says first name first when I receive
texts? It isn't an important thing, but I just wondered if
it could be done as I can't find anything else to change it.
Thanks anorak. I'm getting as bad as you with these phones
(God forbid) (smiles).
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
When he next gets a text, ask him to go to the
inbox, select the message, hit Options, then Message
Details. This will tell us the number that was displayed
according to the operator. This may give us a clue. Of
course, don't give me the number, but note how it is sent
from the carrier.
All the best
Steve

Thanks Steve. Well, it hasn't made any difference,
apparently, so I guess you're right, unless he has changed
something on his phone that isn't displaying the names
properly, but I couldn't say.

Hi Jackie,
Again, the answer seems to be that it
depends on how the operator transmits the number in the
caller ID.
All the best

question
Steve, just one question then. Most of my
contacts do have the +44 before their numbers, but there are
some that don't. And those that don't still announce their
names when their texts arrive. So how come? Just curious
really for future reference, and I'll certainly forward your
explanation to my bewildered friend.
Thanks.
Jackie

question
Hi Jackie,
This is a simple one, and one I
recommend everyone should follow. Let me explain.
My business mobile is 07956334938.
OK, now when you add me as a contact, instead of adding me
as 07956334938, add me as +447956334938. Firstly, this will
always get picked up when you receive a text, because when
the number comes through from the mobile carrier, it comes
through in that format, and secondly, it means that you can
dial that number from anywhere in the world, without
altering it. For example, when you go abroad, you can still
dial that number. So drop the 0 in your contacts, and add
+44 instead. Works every time.
And for those that don't have their
punctuation switched on, there is a plus symbol before the
44. To get that into your contacts, press star twice.
Hope this helps.
All the best
Steve
All the best
Steve

question
Hi Listers
Could someone please answer a quick
question for me which I am posting on behalf of a friend.
He has a Nokia 6600, and it seems
that although he has added people to his contacts book in
the usual way, whenever messages arrive in his inbox from
them, TALKS is not telling him their names. He has been
into the menu to check that first names are announced in his
preferred order, but he is completely baffled as to why the
texts he gets do not say the names of his recipients.
Frankly I can't work this out either. Does anyone have any
ideas please? Is it possible he has his display set
incorrectly or something?
Jackie
