Contct Names do not appear in Message List

Hi, I haven't found any help with this problem.

I have the M8 and I have copied my contact to the phone. My contacts phone numbers are stored in the following format 99555555 or 96555555.

When dialing or receiving a call the names appear correctly, but when i RECEIVE a message the international code appears infront of the number and the phone does not show me the contact name, instead it shows +35799555555. When I SEND a message though it shows the name, but it stores it as a separate conversation.

Is there any way to fix this. Thanks alot!!!

try this:

correct format for phone numbers

or use the search function...there are a lot of threads...
