    iPhone not recognizing numbers stored in address book

    Hello friend, I am have faced problem in this iPhone. This problem is very odd. When my friend try to call me, in that time iPhone will shows their phone number instead of their name. I need to read the name instead of the number. This numbers are present in the contact list of the address book. In the same iphone, if I try to call this same number it shows the name. This difficulty is only in case of incoming call. The outgoing work correctly. Thanks in advance.

    Hey dude, this type of problem may be occurred in rare cases. This will be indicating that something wrong happen in this iPhone. Hence I think you need to test the area code for every number stored in the contacts or not. Then confirm that task and it will be help to understand the reason behind this. If the incoming caller ID number is to be perfectly equivalent with the number present in the contact list, then I think this problem will be not present for long time.
