From: 1 (121) 611-611
Error invalid number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.
Anyone else getting this, and has anyone been able to fix it?
I found a site with people having the issue with the iPhone and ATT, among other carriers. I deleted the conversation thread, deleted the contact, rebooted the phone, re-added the contact with the area code, and it is still trying to send the message without the area code. On a new message I can just add the area code, but when the person answers I hve to delete the thread and start a new one in order to reply. Very annoying and only with one person...
No one is getting this? I know what is going on, the phone is removing the area code when said contact responds to my text messages....there has to be someone else getting this Ive tredeverytging

hey im having the same problem, any fix yet? s0o0o0o0o0 annoying.
I am also having this issue. I have tried deleting msgs, contact, rebooting phone, adding contact on the sim and on the phone. I can compose the msg and click the person and it will show 1(XXX)XXX-XXXX and then when i send and go back into the msg it removes the 1(XXX). And leaves the 7 digits. I have had them send me a msg and it will show the complete number but as soon as I go back into the msg it only shows the 7 Digits. I have read that a reset fixes this but surely there is another way. It only does it to one person also.
Seems to be a bug in a particular version of the messaging app, as I had the problem on stock JG6 (?) and not on JM2. I haven't noticed the problem on JM5 (though I haven't used it long) and perhaps it's fixed in JH2? We can only hope!

none of my contacts have a 1 in front.
try that.
To test this from another phone I created a test contact with my own number in it. Saved it to my sim and left the 1 at front of the number. Sent that contact a text message and it came through correctly. Probably doesn't have an issue with the "1" and more likely another problem with the messaging app.
The only time I've ever received that message is when I've accidentally sent a text message to a contacts land-line instead of their cell.
Have you tried adding a + in front of the 1? So your number would be +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
Yep tried it

The above error drives me nuts!
I got that popup error everytime I send SMS.
If I click YES, the message will be sent anyway.
I tried all sort of combination of number in the Outlook Contact:
+31624000222
Or 624000222
Or 0624000222
+31 = the country code.
Anyone know why I got that error?
How to fix that?
Thanks
Anyone does not get this problem?
have you tried using 011 (011624000222) instead of the + ? i had to do that when i was living in germany and using t-mobile on my wizard that had wm6 on it.. just a thought ...though adding the 0 in front of the dialed number (0624000222) seemed to work too
Yes, I did that. And it did not work.
Anyway, I gave up and hard reset the device.
I installed everything again and now it is ok, no error popup like that anymore.

After few troubleshoots & hard resets, i finally got the solution:
go to messaging/menu/options/address tab
(in, contacts, get email addresses from) : choose [all e-mail fields].
it will solve ur problem.
i;m having the same prob. the phone can't recognize the country code or something ... when the country code is added to the number the local caller name is not displayed. and if the country code is removed from the number then in SMS the sender name is not displayed as most operators send the numbers with country code in the message headers ... damn !
checking the get address from all fields does work.
i forgot that I had unchecked that the other day..lol
Hi,
I tried doing whats described above but in my case, the phone already had the option "selected all fields" selected. I tried deselecting and selecting it again but in vain...
Any other suggestions??

P.S: I have a samsung omnia
thanks - found this and it appears to work for me. Message was bugging me.
Hey all,
I've had my Kaiser a while now, and I love it to pieces. However...
When I open my SMS/MMS inbox, I see all my texts, but instead of showing the Name of the person who sent me a message, it shows there number (i.e +447870111111). This happens if I haven't pre-saved the contact to my phone (Even though the contacts were saved on my simcard). What's more, I thought copying all the contacts from my SIM to my phone would work, but no look. And now, I have 2 sets of all numbers! (one on SIM and one on Phone).
So My questions are:
Is there a way to have my SMS inbox show the contacts name, rather than number?
Is there a way to tell the Kaiser to hide my Sim Contacts, and just display my phone contacts.
I've searched and searched for these issues, but cannot find anything. I'm fairly technical so am usually good with these type of things. But any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott
for the second question, use kaiser-tweak ...
there's a option under [contacts] where you can disable sim-contacts.
the other question i can't help, sry
bye andré
OK Cheers Edi, Anybody for question number one? Surely this issue affects others?
Just to confirm I'm not a jinx, can somebody else who experiences this issu please post?
bump.......
When you store a contact after receiving an SMS, the SMS database is not updated with the contact info and so the Inbox will show with the number alone! But after storing it once, the next SMS will be named with the Contact. This is how it happens in Windows Mobile or the way it handles the messages. The updating is not done in all SMS after a contact is stored as it would slow down the device.
Regards,
Carty..
Thanks for that Carty, now i know I'm not going insane!
It's a shame it has to be that way though... Standard mobile phones usually update themselves when you've saved the number as a contact. Ah well, I still have the best phone ever!
Cheers
Experiencing The Same Problem
Try to include the country code and for sure you'll have the name appear. Problem will be, when that person is calling from the same country... Country code will be omited. So you wouldn't see the name of the person who's calling... and vise versa
Did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Angelo

Wow this thread's a blast from the past
TBH I've not noticed the problem again, which could mean one of two things:
1) The problem has now gone after Flashing a WM6.1 ROM, or
2) I haven't had any "New" people send me a text.
Sorry I can't be of more help...
Hi,
I haven't had an issue with numbers showing on an SMS instead of names (as I store my numbers as +447976123456, but I did have a REALLY annoying issue with SMS delivery reports having the number instead of the name.
This would have been fine if I sent one text every now and then , but as a heavy texter it drove me nuts - never knowing whos message had been delivered.
Just in case anyone else is having trouble with this - try the attached file - it lets you change the format of the report you get when your SMS is delivered!
Cheers

I have tried to search for an answer, but can't find any using the search criteria I tried, so please don't blast me if I am asking something that has been answered, just point me in the right direction.
I just got my Captivate today, and am having problems with some texts. I have sent several texts today which went fine, but when I send to one contact it returns error message to use 10 numbers. When I look in at her contact it is in there as 10 numbers 111-222-3333, but when I click on send message it only brings up 222-3333. My other contacts are formatted the same way, but when I click on send message it brings in all 10 numbers, or +1-111-222-3333. I have used Unleash the beast to root etc, but this happened before and after I did this so is not related. Is there some specific format for the number that I am missing?
Hiii
I am getting this some what unique problem while receiving SMS that in sender number all zeros are replaced with "D". While receiving in notification it shows "D" in place of "0" & after reading in inbox it appear as "d". Due to this i am not able to know who sent me the msg untill I check by replacing all "D" with "0".
I tried differes SMS apps but the result is same. I am not able to figure out the reason.
Please help.

Foreign language? Maybe you need a language installed on your phone to render the characters for your texting.

I am not able to figure it out. It has been working fine & still working fine. Since last 10 days only I am facing this weird problem.
Even the messages I send, there also the contacts & message threads appears fine. All old sms threads appears fine.
But all new messages coming from the same contacts behaving like this. Except receiving no where i have any such issue (Calling/SMS sending).
And also this happens only with "0" not any other digit.
I tried to uninstall MoreLocale & reinstall, change language etc. Please suggest if I shall try something different.
Modify Country & IDD in assisted dialing
Till now I am not able to resolve this.
Also I have found that I cant send SMS to friends whose contact I have stored with country code ie +91 92121****1.
But I am able to call them.
I checked assisted dialing and found that My country is showing India but IDD is showing 00. And the option is freezed & there is no option to change/modify it.
Is there any other way to change it by modifying some system file.

You'll have to open build.prop and edit it. My suggestion would be to get Root Browser or something along those lines and change it that way.

Thanx, can you give some hint that what exactly shall I look for cause I have gone through it many times but could not find.any thing.
I have already changed "ro.product.locale.region".
Also could you tell where to change the prefix dialing codes for call forwarding/cancellation etc.

Hi, I got an error from my gear's S-voice today when trying to reply an SMS.
The S-voice was unable to reply a message, it will reply "i'm unable to send the message", and on the phone, it will show "failed to send".
However, when sending a new SMS (i.e. not replying through the notification), it was able to work.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

I get this also. If you check the SMS message it will most likely have an incorrect country code. Mine should be +44 however it shows as 44 and I get a network failure.

I checked and the country code is wrong too. Did not have the "+" symbol. Guess that's a bug then...
same here, works with new sms, does not work with answering to sms
Hi,
I Have the same trouble. Any solution??
Gear with Null 12.
Stéph.
Check the format of the number in your contacts. I posted about this week's ago: numbers with parentheses don't work.
Edit: someone replied that + doesn't work either. Bummer.

I have exactly the same problem, I live in Germany and when I reply through:
- pre-made SMS: OK (it is sent to 00 49 1xxxxxxxx)
- through S VOICE: *does not work* "Unable to send SMS" (it is sent to 49 1 0000 xxxxxxxx --> WRONG Number)
I do not understand how a big company as Samsung fails to make that work...
PS: do you receive WhatsApp or Viber notifications on your Galaxy??? I get none from Whatsapp and Viber...
Doesn't know also why Samsung doesn't do anything??
Sorry but i don't use WhatsApp or Viber.
Stéph.
same here (switzerland)
this is what it look like, if i try to answer a message (i'm not even able to dictate text).
Create new one works flawlessly.
i alreay wrote to samsung support, but i dont expect that they will take this seriously and inform their devs..
