[Q] Number in Text field?

When I'm texting someone, i sometimes get their phone number at the top of the text field and by their name in their text bubble. It's not with every contact either. I thought maybe it was because they have multiple numbers attached to the contact but even ones that have just one number so it. i dont want it to show it at all. any ideas?
it shows up if you have an email address for them too. if all you have for that contact is a mobile number you may want to go into your contacts & see if they were linked to anything else

Go sms pro private box: not working cause of the +1 area code

Dear all,
I am having some big trouble with go sms pro private box. I have the paid version. I added from my contacts all the contacts that I want to be private. It happened that when some of those contacts text me the message and notification are correctly private, while for others they are received in the normal folder (and have a standard notification). I double checked and the contact name and number were correctly displayed on the list of private contacts but the text appears in the normal received text message list. Only one slight difference: the number saved in the contact list is always different from the number on the received text underneath the name, and the difference is related to the international american area code. I was not able to figure out exactly which is the problem but basically sometimes I receive messages with the right name but the number (lets say 999-999-9999) shows up as any of these three
999-999-9999
1999-999-9999
+1999-999-9999
So basically if I save my number as 999-999-9999 sometimes I dont get it on the private box and it shows up with the rite name and with 1999-999-9999 or +1999-999-9999. Very wierd. And things got more complicated: I did a trial with my roomie: if I save his number as 999-999-9999 his texts do not go into the private box, and they show up with his name and 1-999-999-9999 underneath it. If I save instead my roommate number in my contacts as +1999-999-9999, in that case his text shows correctly up in the private box but with NO NAME on it!! So I cant do this since I have no clue who is texting me and I have to search everytime who that text refers to. I am driving crazy. Nobody had experience with this?
Thanks

[Q] How do you block text messages from specific contacts?

I am trying to figure out how to stop receiving texts from certain spam numbers. On previous Samsung phones, you were able to add a number to the spam list, but that feature does not appear to be available on the S6. I have looked everywhere in the settings but haven't had any luck.
Thanks in advance.

Save number as a contact. Go into contacts. Select title of saved number. In right corner select more and then select auto reject.

S Voice & duplicate contacts

If I double click the Home button to bring up S-Voice, then say "call name", it usually recognizes who I want to call. However it always displays 2 phone numbers for the contact and asks which contact I want to call. But the 2 phone numbers are the same!
Somehow the watch is creating 2 contacts per person in my contact list. I have verified that the Contacts on my phone are not duplicated in the address book. Any ideas? I don't see a setting for contacts on the watch or Gear app...
FYI I use the watch in standalone most of the time, so when I call people, it is calling from the watch, not from my phone.

Question Some Contacts not showing Names in Phone Application

Just got my hands on S22 Ultra Snapdragon. It appears I have the HK Variant? (SM-S9080/DS, CSC: S9080OZS2AVDC)
The issue appears to be that some contacts are showing numbers rather than the names. (Phone being used in the Middle East). The problem appears to be with the contacts with the international code but it is not the case for all of them. However, when I switch the application to "Phone" by google, it is all correctly displayed.
Any way I can fix the Samsung phone application? Thanks
As a guess, if Arabic characters are used maybe that's the issue with Samsung app? In any case, report it via Samsung Members app.
I've contact saved with +44 123456776 where +44 is the country code.
When I make call, it shows the correct name. However when I recevie a call, as the call is coming from 123456776 without country code, only number is displayed and contact does show up (As it was saved with a country code). Not sure if this make sense and I am struggling to understand why it would do it.
The mobile was purchased in HK so could it be something to do with the different region? Thanks
Found this which is my issue;
