Alright now before I start let me tell you how my Iphone 4 is since its not an average one. I live in China so I have a DCMA iphone 4 (Verizon, found that from settings) which is still set to "America". I am not jailbroken (because I wanted to avoid any issues, the past 3-4 iphones where all heavily broken
) and my iOS is 5.1.1(9B206) abd my carrier (as per settings) is Verizon 12.0 (but note that the carrier is set by ChinaTelecom).
*EDIT* I am also fully synced with my iCloud service to my Mac (contacts, calendars, everything...its why i upgraded from 3GS in the first place!!).
Now here is the issues:
When I receive phone calls, they all have the +86 infront of them (thats China's code). However when I get text massages, the +86 is not there. That means if I add a contact WITH the +86, then I don't see their names in my massages and if I save a contact WITHOUT the +86, I can't see their names when I receive their calls. The only time my phone works as intended is when I call, which it simply shows their name.
This issue has forced me to have 2 copies of everyone's numbers, labeling one "mobile" and one "TXT". Now that I've been quite busy these contacts have grown very large (+300) and some people have 2 to 3 numbers!
Has this happened to you? Do you guys know any possible solutions?
My own thought is that the difference in +86 is due to the Telecom here (and that would be their smallest mistake yet!) however I don't hear anyone else here complaining about it (almost everyone has iphone 4 or 4s here, its cheap )
Oh before I forget, I've searched the forums before (not deeply) and found the "turn international assist off" which did help in case of the numbers without the +86, now it doesnt call the USA anymore (phew).
Your help is apprecited.
