Contacts

Hi, When I am in the messaging app, some if my contacts numbers show normally, starting 07, but some show as +447. Is there any reason for this and a fix so that they all show 07?

Hi,

Is it messages that you have received from a person that is not in your contact list or do you mean that you have the number stored as a contact in your phone? If the number is stored for a contact in your phone, you need to edit the contact and remove +44. You can edit a contact if you go to Contacts > Tap the contact > In the top right corner you have a pen, tap it > Remove +44 and when you are finished, tap Save.

Hi, It's numbers that are stored in my address book and I checked how they are stored. They are stored as 07, but for some reason in messaging they come through as +44

In the conversations that you have +44, I suspect that the counterpart has sent the first message to you and not vice versa? In those cases, the number will be displayed with +44 even if the contact is stored without +44. You could always delete the conversation and send a text message to that person and your conversation should now display without +44.
