Question
How can I get my caller ID on cell to show up? it will save in contacts but when the caller calls it just shows the number, not the name of the person.
The way that you enter the phone number into your contacts is what makes it match up with the name you have. The best way to do this is to have someone call you. Then take that caller ID information, choose Save and save it into your contacts. Create the contact from that entry (don't change anything in the way that the number is displayed) and the next time that person calls you, you will see their name and number. Then look at your other contact entries and you will see that they are set up differently. Perhaps you just put in the 7 digits or the number, for example. If you follow the pattern of the one that worked, then you will see how the numbers need to be entered to match up the caller ID with the entry in your contacts. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
