If it did not know it could not tell me her number. Now if Sharon my niece sends me a text it says Sharon and Sharon's number is registering with my Contacts folder isn't it and her number matching with it. Now when my friend Rosie sends me a text I have her in my contacts folder as Rosie so why does it not match her number with her name. In the text I get her number. Do you understand what I am saying.

Having sorted my Contacts folder now when I get a text message from someone it gives their name. However, one friend for business reasons has her ID turned off so when I get a call from her it says Private Number. When I get a text message from her, though she is in my Contacts by name it does not give her name but instead it gives her telephone number. Is this to be expected? I know it is her telephone number and immediately I know the message is from her but why does not it not give her name as it is in my Contacts folder? Eleanor
