I only see Caller-Id info for folks in my Contacts. When Anyone else calls all I see is their number. Can anyone help me with this?
That's the only way to see them. You can't just see the name of a random number.
Wow! really?, I realize cell phone numbers are not listed but I just assumed that I could at least get Caller Id info for people with listed landlines?

I think that he means that the incoming calls are coming from a landline.
Yes, I know I'm not on a landline (I'm not calling myself)
So anyway, does anyone know if I should get Caller Id info from landline calls
Never in the history of Cell phones has Land line caller info come up.
The only info that you can see when ANYONE calls Land line or Cell phone is the Phone number.
If the phone # is in your Contacts database then that # is associated with the contact info and then the caller info is displayed.
If the phone # is NOT in your contacts database the number should be displayed and that is all.

Hi.
Is there a way to change phone number to contact name in SMS I'm receiving when someone is calling when I'm not online?
When I will go back online I'm receiving SMS with informmation that someone from number xxxxxxx was calling.
I got this person on my contact list, I want to see name instead of phone number.

try to store the contact with international acces number (+49 for germany)
Well, then the problem would be that if the particular contact calls (voice call), then the name might not be displayed...

your current settings may be locked though; if they are I will hunt down the registry settings to unlock them.
Those smartphones are new to me Thanks for help I will try this. I have another question though.I have notice that I have to pay extra money every month to have caller ID,so I am wondering if there are apps with caller ID? Thanks
What do you mean by caller id? if you have a persons name and number in your contact list when they call their name will show up. I would not pay for caller id.
ok Thanks again for your help!

Actually, I have same question too. I don't have CallerID feature. When people call, it only shows "Unknown", even I have that phone # and name on my contact list. Any solution? Thanks.
Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete
For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.
...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7

Not me. Looks strange. Did you update any phone settings? Try resetting your phone if you didn't do any update in phone setting.

i do have the same problem! was on 4.3 and had the same problem! i though that its silly to ask and waited for the official update but now m on 4.4.2 kitkat and the same problem persists! it is annoying when you have to make a call in urgent and you have to find the number from a huge list! it sucks!
I am being bombarded with scam calls all of a sudden. Started a few days ago. They call from the same exchange but different number every time. It has been a total harassment. In my previous phone (ZTE) I could block all calls from numbers that were not in my address book. I don't the S10 Plus is capable of doing this, unless I missed it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
If you are on Android 10 One UI 2.1 then click on the number in recent calls log. Then click the i with a grey circle. Then click block at the bottom.

I know how to block specific numbers but that's not what I am looking for. It doesn't help. I am getting very sophisticated spam calls from same source but different number every time they call, so blocking each number after they call is not helping. What I am looking for is an option that I had in older Android phones and iPhones currently have, which is block any call that is not in my address book.
Yes, you can find in :

I think Unknown Callers refer to incoming calls without a Caller ID, calls that says UNKNOWN, not calls that are not in my address book which is what I am trying to block. It is checked and it does not block these calls because they display a number (albeit a fake one).
Try using the Do Not Disturb function with the exception of only allowing phone numbers that are in your contact list. This may be a temporary solution to the issue that you're experiencing. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00077281/

That's a nice solution. Thank you.
you might miss an important call, i did.
i had left a message to a us gov't number recently but had a call-back from an out of state number, not in contacts.....so i sent to vm.
when i heard the voice, it was the mgr of the dep't returning my call.
the vm answered my question but that might not always be the case, if no vm is left.
