regarding phone contacts in m8

is it necessarry to put +65 in the mobile number?

i have my contacts copied in the phone but when I sms, message sending fails and when my friends sms me, it never shows their name but just the number. their numbers don't have the +65 in my sim as this does not a concern with my nokia phone.

thanks.

It's a bug.
What I've done is add each number to its appropriate contact in both of its forms. Otherwise it won't recognise the contact on SMS or calls (depending on which number you have).

thanks. guess i'll just have to add the numbers.

is everybody experiencing this in their m8? any solution for this other than putting in the two forms of numbers for your contacts?

In fact, no such problem occured when you use M8 in China. In the Meizu forum, no such bugs were proposed before.
I think Meizu should consider this problem and fix it in the next fireware

This problem is not exist in china.

M8 is not a international phone yet.
