SIM contacts
SIM contacts can contain names and
numbers only. They are saved on the
SIM card.
when you type your friends mobile number then click on the option button then on that click save to contacts then press your friends name and save it. Now you can verify is your friends number added at your contact goto menu and click on the contacts and ensure your friends mobile numbre added on it.keep on doing to add numbers
The problem here would be duplicate contacts. When a call comes it searches the number in the Phone and SIM and displays the name pointing to that. Here in your case I suppose the same contact with the same number would be entered twice ( SIM + Phone) and phone gets confused which name to display and it shows just the number instead of name.
To solve this what you can try is to disable the SIM contacts from displaying. To do that go to
Menu>Contacts>Options>Settings>Contacts> Contacts to display -
Select Phone Memory only.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

You have 2 identical numbers save from your phone book. check carefully each numbers you have just save, coz your phone cant show which name to appear every time you have a call. If the problem still persist check the phone contact, and check the settings. try to check if your using both phone memory and sim card memory at once. Just select only one if phone memory or sim card memory to use as phone book storage. thanks
You may have to fix the entries copied from the sim card into the address book so that the cell phone number is in the correct field as well as the names. By default it may not be properly stored into the correct fields.
If you have phone numbers stored on the SIM card, copy them to Contacts. Entries that are saved ONLY on the SIM card are not shown in the contacts directory. So for incoming calls and msgs, the phone cannot match the number to the name.
To copy individual names and numbers from a SIM card to your phone contacts:
Menu/Contacts/Options/SIM contacts/Sim directory. Select the names you want to copy and: Options/Copy to contacts.
most of the SE phone have two types of contact saving
1- in phone memory
2- in SIM card memory
if u have contacts saved in SIM memory but u r using
phonebook memory then it is default
if u save any contact in phone memory u have an option too
to copy it to SIM memory
for deleting a contact it will behave like this:
for example, u have a contact saved in phone memory
as well as in SIM memory
if u delete this contact, then it will be deleted from phone
memory but not from SIM memory
and when u are called from same number
(which is not present in Phone memory but is in SIM)
it displays the name again
