Names in messages

Hey everyone.
I just bought a new nokia 6670. I finally have all the names of my contacts copied from my old phone to my new one. Everything seemed to be ok.
I only have one problem, i only see the phone numbers from the senders of the messages i have in my inbox. This is quiet irritating because i don't know all the numbers, i would rather see the names. I searched and tried everything but i can't find how to change this. I hope someone here knows how to change this!
Thanks

First of all, have you stored the numbers in one place only? Series 60 phones seem to get confused if you have numbers saved on phone AND sim card.

Also, try substituting the first 0 of the number for your country code (UK - +44) for each contact, so that instead of 07700 123 456 you'd have +447700 123 456.
