    N73 don´t show the contactname, only the number.

    My N73 started displaying numbers only (no name) for some incoming calls for which I'm certain there was only one contact listing. It also sometimes displayed the number with the country code 614nnnnnnnn and sometimes not 04nnnnnnnn for the same caller
    on the same network. So I tried to save the different number under the same contact name (the suggested option) but that has not helped and from what I read here may make it worse.

    But I maintain that the phone was already having those problems before.

    I will try sifting through the contact details and removing any duplicate numbers.

    Any suggestions on a permanent solution?

    Scam call but gave Windows serial reference number

    The number he gave you was not unique and as long as you did not allow them remote access, your computer is fine.

    It's a scam that has been going on for years. Microsoft never makes unsolicited phone calls.

    Is that call from Microsoft a scam?
