Check your desktop application i.e Outlook. It could be that the mobile phone number of your contacts are not under mobile but under another heading , like home or office.

@ chris

it is not that - all the people are under mobile !

Delete all names on SIM card or choose to just use phone memory.

Just delete all or the duplicated entries from SIM memory. This has been talked not so long before.

just go to contacts and on the top right side you will see "ALL" or "Sim Phone book" just tap on it and select all to show all phone contacts

For example, when u have a phone number stored in phone as JohnS, and also stored in SIM as JSmith,You will get SMS identification as JSmith for the number. It's to mean deleting the JSmith from SIM memory.

why is this hapening ?

in other phones you can choose to only use the phone memory ...... i dont want my sim to be empty, because i use it sometimes in some phone for testing purposes and use sim memory

i just entered my new smart sim and i see the same !


entries from sim have priority before phone memory !!!!!!


how can i simply disable sim card memory in use with p 800 ?

for example :

you have name JOHN GSM entry on your sim memory


you have the same number on phone memory but it is JOHN SMITH
