6230 - Name Text Message Sender

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

When ever I receive a text message on my 6230, there appears to be no
indication of who actually sent me the text message

The message will tell me what number the text has come from...

But if I don't know the number, I have to go searching through my phonebook

There must be some way of configuring the phone, so that I can see the name
of the person who sent the text message (provided they are in my contacts on
my phone)

Someone please help

Thank you

I believe the phone looks at the last 7 digits of the incoming number
and tries to match them with the last 7 digits stored in the
phonebook. If it cannot match all 7 digits then it doesn't display the
name. At least that's the way it seems to work with my 6100.

yep that could be the case

me personally i only use sim memory , this restricts that you cannot use
some of the functions, BUT

when your phone dies you stil have all your numbers

Better still, store the numbers in your phone so that you get the full
functionality of that, but backup your entire phone contents to a PC
regularly so that you can restore everything if your phone gets lost
or stolen.
