    anybody having this problem?

    I am not sure if its a BB issues, or a carrier issue, or?

    all was fine for years, until recently....

    whenever I get texts from my contacts in the phone, it used to say who it was from.

    But now, because the phone mysteriously adds a +1 (eg. +1 905-xxx-xxxx before the their phone number, it doesnt recognize the contacts number (I simply have it as 905-xxx-xxxx and link up the name.

    frustrating....

    Try adding + 1 to the contacts it happening to.

    Most likely carrier

    Check the setting about how you want your phone numbers stored. There is a setting for this.

    might be the carrier that pushes +1

    So what's the setting? I've had the same problem from the beginning. I'm in London, UK. Mobile numbers start with 07*** etc but text come through as +447***, takes me ages to work out who it's from. Rely more on WhatsApp these days to recognise messages.
