    Ok from your call log hit the menu key and select options > smart dialing then enter your country code and set national number length.

    thanks HAZYSKY for your reply

    actually i have done what you have told me, but still the problems is there.

    for example
    number is stored as: 0097150636094, and country code is selected as +971 and national number length is set to 7 - when ever i receive any call, number appears as +971506396094 without the name.

    It doesn't display the name because when you have the contact info stored as 0097150636094 it doesn't match 971506396094. You have to correctly set up smart dialing for it to work. Is 00 the country code and 971 the area code or?

    actually the country code is 00971 ( UAE code ). and my problem is that i have more than 500 contacts with the same format - starting with 00971 instead of +971 -

    Try leaving both Country code and area code blank in smart dialing.
