My brother has a 4S and he said this started last night after he reset his phone.

- Contacts that are iPhone users will show the contacts name in iMessage and Caller ID (as it should), ONLY if the contact info has a +1 in front of the phone number. Example, editing a contact and adding their number - it has to be +1-800-555-1212. It can't be just 555-1212. Leaving off the +1 for iPhone users results in iMessage and caller id showing ONLY the users phone number.

- Contacts that are NON iPhone users have an even funkier issue. With the +1 added to the number, it will show up in iMessage as the contact name and caller id as the number. Leaving off the +1 results in the opposite. Number in iMessage and name for caller id.


Anyone have any clue what the issue is? Seems rather strange. :confused:
