My contacts have their phone number in the international format. It needs to be this way, otheriwse I can't call them from another country. As an example
+64 21 1234567
But the incoming calls have the local number, so the software can not correlate them with the contacts. That is, I can't tell who is calling. Example
021 1234567
Points to note (all phone models are Samsung)
- On my previous phone, S6, things worked just fine as they did on S4 before that.
- Now that I have migrated to S7, I have the above problem (with the same contacts that were migrated across).
- My wife had this issue with her S5 and I managed to fix with some setting.
- My wife migrated to Note 5 and all still works fine for her.
- I have gone through all the settings I can think of, several times but have not found any that will fix this.
- I can fix it by adding the local number to the contact as well the international format. WIth several hundred contacts, this is a lot of work and will still give problems when I am outside the country.
- The SMS system works fine, its just the voice calls.
- I am still with the same provider.
Where is the setting to fix this ?
