hey..i was wondering..when ever i recieve text messages it shows up with their number and not the name that is stored in my phone book..the first few days i had the phone it would show the name from my phonebook. now every text message i get just shows the number..its annoying because unless i have ur number memorized i dont know whos texting me...i never had this problem with my 8200 so im wondering if theres a setting i can change or if theres a fix for it. basically if i have ur number stored in my phone as 408-XXX-XXXX it would show up as 1-408-XXX-XXXX in the text and not as ur caller ID name. any help would be great. thanks

It looks like the only solution is to store the numbers in your phone book with the 1.
