mills705 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So its been bugging me for a while- i can have texts read out to me and thats all dandy however my phonebooks downloaded but a text the screen only ever displays the number as ++447.... I have re paired the phone- allowed phonebook access- when I go onto voice of phonebook within the car it allows me to see the people. Any ideas?

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 ++44 / 0044 is the international dialling code for the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 ++44 / 0044 is the international dialling code for the UK I know that, my query really relates to why doesn't it pick up the name of the person on the display rather than their number? At the moment when I receive a text only their number is shown rather than their name but a call comes through and their name is displayed?

mills705 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 no one got any input then? haha, ill email ford and see what they say :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Its the same on mine, I was going to see if I coukd see why but never got round to it, it is annoying sometimes if you dont recognise the number and texts dont make sense without knowing who its from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 might just be the quirk- i have emailed ford so will update when i get a response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iannidan Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 My iPhone doesn`t allow texts to Sync, is there a work around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Ive read for iphones that you need to enable something in bluetooth on the phone. I just rang ford directly and they basically said they had no idea and to talk to a dealer... great they don't even know their own products! haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iannidan Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 found this on the ford site, so will try later and see if it works https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/myford-touch/phone-setup/how-to-allow-sync-to-receive-text-messages-from-your-iphone.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastedyears1981 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Where in the phone have you saved your contacts? If theyre saved within the SIM.... transfer them to your phones memory instead. Long shot.... might work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensambrook Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Have you got your contacts transferred over to SYNC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yes phone calls display the correct name and voice control allows me to call people. Just texts only show numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
