When receiving a call my nokia 1661 displays private no even though the number calling is in the contacts list. Any idea what I need to tweak to sort this very annoying problem...?

If you have dropped your mobile in water, then i am afraid even if you get it fixed it would be too expensive.

I suggest for you to buy a new one.

In order to get your free unlock code for your Nokia 1661, you will probably need your phone’s IMEI number. You can find your Nokia 1661′s IMEI number by simply typing *#06# and hitting enter. Your 15-digit IMEI number will then be displayed on the phone’s screen.
Anyway, now that you have your phone’s unlock code, you can start the unlock process. This is actually probably the easiest part of unlocking your phone. I took these steps from my original phone guide on How To Unlock A Nokia Phone.

hi, it is very possible it is like that...what normally causes such is when you have your contact saved on phone memory twice.all you need to do is to delete one.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. I think you have stored more than 100 Caller ID messages and hence the caller ID is not showing on Uniden Tru8888. In the following cases the caller ID will not be shown-

If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message will not appear.

When the call is received via a telephone company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name does not appear. (This includes some international calls.)

When the call is via a private branch exchange (PBX), the caller's phone number and name may not appear.

You may receive any one of the following messages:

When a private name is received; Private Name
When a private number is received; Private Number
When a unknown name is received; Unknown Name
When a unknown number is received; Unknown Number
When invalid data is received; Incomplete Data

The Caller ID list stores information for incoming calls - even unanswered calls. You can store up to 100 Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) for each handset and the base. You can view the Caller ID list through the handset or base during a call or when the phone is in standby mode.

Memory locations for Caller ID messages and Phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to all 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored a total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks

The caller is using private number. If you wanna know who's calling you, turn off your phone. If the caller always call you all the time, you'll be lucky. Because there will voice message received from the operator and you are able to know the number who's calling you.

You can do that also by typing "#31#(destination no.)" then call.

they shouldnt. go thru your settings and change it to a mode where private calls are not coming in as proivate.

then reset the phone, either master reset or just take battery out n put back in again ok.,

save the contacts in the phone memory

Save your numbers along with country code. Like +8801719002255. Here +88 is country code and rest is mobile number. Your porblem will be solved.
