I put and constantly add numbers to a contact named "SPAM." In the People app you can check a checkbox to send this contact straight to voicemail box.

Hi,
Anybody knows of an app to show the contact name in a text message instead of a mobile number? For example the 'Who Called' service from T-mobile (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/call-options/who-called/) will send you a text message of the phone number(s) that called while the phone was switched off.
I receive such messages with phone numbers and have to actually try to call the number to figure out the contact (if it exists).
Thanks,
-Gus

Are you saying your stock messaging app doesn't automatically link your contact name?
I've used both the stock messaging app and ChompSMS and both of them display the person's name that the number is associated with in my contacts list (and shows their picture if I have one set for them).

I think what he's saying is that the text message is being sent from T-Mobile in every case and the content of the message is a telephone number. Although he is sent the number of the person that called he does not know which contact the number is linked to and the only way to find out is to call that number and see what contact name shows up in the call log. It basically sounds like he wants a way to look up a contact by phone number.

That's the part I'm confused about. The SMS app already shows the name, and if you long click on them you can call that person directly or view their contact details...
So even if only a number showed up, he should be able to just long press on it and then get to the contact details and see who it is.
The OP mentions the phone being OFF.

Yes that is exactly it. Its not the name of the sender of the message. Its a number in a text message of someone (it can be more than one number) who called me while my phone was switched off for any reason.

I use Hullomail. It replaces your network voicemail service and it's 'free'. Also it will send you a email with the number or name of the caller but you would need to give the app service access to your Gmail contacts for that.
They also have an app in the market to access all your voicemails.
Features:
* Receive and play voice-emails directly in your inbox, mobile and the web
* Get notified of any missed call, even in areas with no mobile reception
* Take control of your voice-emails – it’s up to you, not the operator
* Share, delete and keep your voice-emails forever, within a click
* See who’s calling you instantly from your email contacts
* Access, view, and manage your voice-emails, all from one place
* Use the 'send a Hullo' feature, which allows you to record and send short messages to your friends for FREE *
Are you tired of that heavy that call you twenty times each day? ::
HOW IT WORKS
With this app you can block incoming calls for:
* Hidden numbers
* Phone numbers (match start of the number, end of the number or complete number)
* All numbers from a contact
You can enter the blocked numbers manually, from the contacts list or from the calls log.
The app support several working modes:
* Accept all incoming calls
* Reject all incoming calls
* Block the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (blacklist)
* Accept only incoming calls from the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (whitelist)
Note that the app is started when the call is received. Due to that, is possible that the system starts the incoming call ringtone before the app ends it. If that occurs, please, create a ringtone with 1-2 seconds of silence and use it.
Also, the app can show the list of rejected calls and much more...

Thank you for the app!! I am getting a Registration key is not valid message however.

Hidden Numbers
May seem like a dumb question but just wondering if the blocking of hidden numbers is "all hidden numbers" or a hidden number recognized by the app after you have received and blocked it?
it works

Tried, key works! Quite confusing with "1" and "l"...
Thanks, bought it, can't stand ads.
Working very good so far , Using Galaxy S5 Duos and working great for both SIM , no ringing is heared while calling just direct busy which is very good since other applications gives a tiny normal calling tone then busy
will support by buying the app , please keep it good and updated
showing numbers by name while picking it from the call log or while checking the blocked call list instead of just the number will be good
ability to hide app icon from app drawer will be good addition also
auto add a number to blacklist if user canceled it for xx times ( if possible to do this feature )
app icon needs another color and a little bit more pro touch for the design
thanks for this great app :good: hoping that it will always working good

Hidden numbers refers to calls that are not providing the from number.
In spanish are "número oculto" and I have translated directly. Please, let me know if in english has other name.
Hey are you the dev for "root call blocker" ?
Hi, couldn't really test the app yet, since I can't add phone numbers from contacts to Whitelist. I always get the message "None of your contacts has a phone number".
Using Galaxy Note 4 with 4.4.4.
P.S.: Also missing a translation when using "Picking a number" - the three options regarding the whole number or only a part of the number are in Spanish.

Translation issues will be corrected in the next release. Sorry.
Are your contacts synced with Google? I'm using the immutable id of the contacts in order to allow backup/restore operations (not jet implemented).
No, I'm not synching contacts with Google (would make to much mess in my phone due to number of google contacts )). My contacts are only stored locally (in the phone) and a copy of them on SIM card. So there is no solution for this (yet ) unless I sync with Google?
Cool no worries just making sure, dont want him to have any of my money.
Will have a look thanks mate

What is difference b/w this app and sams built-in block app?
Can you please add the function to block groups?
I have a group for business and want to add the entire group in the holidays.
@bartito or anyone else used the app - I have a question
What is the blocking method of this app?
Blocks the call at system level. No ringtone or screen wake
Rings for few seconds & then the app rejects it
Picks the call & immediately rejects it

Hi.:
Is it possible to display the company name of the contact that is calling you?
Kind regards.

Yup! Download the app called Phone Warrior, Not only will it tell you who is calling, it auto blocks spam calls, and you can flag new ones that have not been by the users yet. Its crowd-based and kickass.
Truecall can do this as well. Needs a data connection for real-time identifying of incoming calls, but that's to be expected
Save company name in the suffix.
It's puts a comma between the full name and the company name in your contact list and for phone calls
App named caller informer was doing this. Show any info from your contacts card.
It doesn't work with new Android versions.
Is there any other app can do this?
This app works. Can show any info from address book and even can add notes.

I need to set up an alternative Whatsapp for work and generally people I don't trust.
I installed Whatsapp in Parallel Space
I got a free alternative number with the Flyp app (very handy). I don't plan to make any calls, only text.
I was now going to proceed to confirm the Whatsapp installed in Parallel Space with the Flyp number so in theory, only people that have that number could see me, but what I don't get is:
Whatsapp looks at your SIM card contacts. Parallel Space's Whatsapp is also looking at this same SIM card contact list even if I confirmed the Whatsapp account with another number.
So wouldn't they see that it's me but with another number?
How the hell I guarantee they don't find out? (as in, how do I keep contacts separated from one Whatsapp to another???)
Please help
Hy there,
I hope I posted where I should and if I didn't please tell me the correct section where I should do this. Also, I am not a developer, I do not have root on my phone. I do not want solutions that require changing XML files or anything. I am just asking about an app that I could find in the Play Store, or, maybe, and apk to download (this being the second option)
I have a problem with the messaging app since I left my HTC One S for the Nexus 5X in June 2016 and I did not find an app to replace that, not even on my current Oneplus 5T.
So, I have a contact in my phonebook saved with multiple numbers - work / mobile / home etc. and she texts SMS from either of the numbers (doesn't really matter because they are included in the carrier plan as unlimited). But my messaging app is sorting those SMS as different entries by phone number, and not by contact. So if we start a conversation in a chat window based on the home number, the answer may end up in a different chat windows (she has a dual sim phone so it depends on the settings on which is right now, and because the SMSs are "free", she tends to not look at which carrier is using, because, why would you if they are all free?), but this actually disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.
I know that a such app exists because I used it on HTC One S in 2012 and I was able to send SMS to which number I wanted to select (home / mobile / work of the same contact from the phonebook) and I had all the conversation in only one place, but after I changed on Nexus 5X and now on OnePlus 5T I can not find this feature in the installed app messenger (Google's or Oneplus's), neither on Google searches or specialized websites. I have tested some of the SMS apps, looked for settings, but all of them seem to show the SMSs based on the phone number, and not based on the contact entries.
Can someone suggest an app that could do that? Maybe I didn't search good enough.
P.S. The MMS option to send grouped messages is not an option because this means I will send the same SMS to multiple numbers, but those numbers are of the same person so there is no need to do that ...
Thank you very much for Your answer.
