Caller ID
Hi
I have just purchased a 58 HSE with the factory fit Bluetooth kit.
I can access the phonebook and see all of my contacts fine. But when I receive a call it displays the number, not the name. Is this how it’s supposed to work or can I change this in a setting I have not found yet?
Thank you
Paul.

If its like my D4, you need to have the number stored in the same way its received.
I think it needs to be stored as 07xxxx rather than +4478xxx.
That's what happens with my D4 anyway.

Strangely I have quite a few numbers in my iphone in either +44 ### or 0044 #### format and they show up as a name on the display.

Ah right, maybe it depends how their call number is sent.
Ive no idea, but had the same issue initially with names not showing up. I changed the numbers and all worked

iphone 3gs, 4 and 5 have caused issues for me. Though it only started after an IOS update. prior to that, it worked fine with the 3gs.

I have had a look last night.
Not all of my contacts are appearing in the phonebook. it's always the same contacts that show. I have tried them with the +44 and without but the same ones still show. I was thinking that perhaps it can see only a fixed number of contacts but it does not do the first 100, for example, it is random throughout the alphabet.
I have compared the contacts that work and don’t work and they look the same.
