Nokia 6600 text messaging

Steve,

The "normal" cause for this is in having a duplicate number within your
phone book, SOMEWHERE..

eg// Dave 01234 567890 and another entry of DaveT 01234 567890. Phone gets
confused, don't know which one to present, so as a safety feature (and to
stop the phone exploding in your hands - okay I lied about this bit!), it'll
just display the number.

Check it out

Cheers



Cheers

It also identifies the caller by the last 8 numbers so, in my case, it
happened when I had a number with the +44 prefix and one without.
