    Problems with numbers

    Hi.
    This is a problem/issue i have, and i just want to hear if there is any other who have the same issue?

    I have saved all my contacts with country-code in front of the number (e.g. +47xxxxxxxx for norway).
    The reason for this is because i discovered that when i get a sms, and the number does not include the country code, the phone displays the number only (not the name that belongs to the number, like "+47xxxxxx").

    But when someone calls me, the number does not contain the country prefix, so now, after i changed all my numbers, the phone doesn't display the contacts name when i get a call....

    My english suck, i know...

    ok, i'll try to explain better:

    1
    Contacts name: John
    Contacts number: 123454678 (stored like this in phone)
    If i recieve a SMS from John, it displays as "From: +47 12345678"
    If John calls me, it says "John Calling"

    2
    Contacts name: John
    Contacts number: +47 123454678 (stored like this in phone)
    If i recieve a SMS from John, it displays as "From: John"
    If John calls me, it says "12345678"

    So, to get the names both places, i have to have to numbers for each person.

    I have the same problem. I heard something about an update which will fix this bug in the new firmware 0.9.1.0, but I'm not sure if that true.

    Can anyone confirm if this has been fixed in any of the leaked versions of 0.9.1.0 or if it will be in the official firmware update?

    I have also the same problem with this issue. I solved this by saving both numbers ("+49123456789" and "0123456789") for each contact.
    But that's really unfunctional, and I hope this will get fixed soon...

    Yes everyone has this problem. We're waiting for meizu to fix it. For now you just have to add numbers in both formats for your contacts.

    I guess I'm lucky then because for both calls and sms the +country code is used here so I don't need to save every number in two different formats
