For example try this

To dial any of your contacts manually before dialing to change 1st digit (or any). dial now mobile shown your contact name whats the problem it is

WOW!!! This is a great discovery.....
I checked it too...

I have a contact with phone number +919894980809 in my contacts list and
I dialled 9884980809 and the phone showed up calling "test number" (that was my contact person name.

I doubt whether nokia is aware of it...

well dude,

this bug is not only for nokia mobiles but also for other mobile manufacturing companies like sony ericsson ,motorola,sagem and am not sure about other manufactures because i didnt check it with those mobile....

i noticed that this bugs occurs only if u change any of first three digits of ur contact...i dont know why the phone considering only the last seven digits of the dialled number leaving other numbers because i found another bug....let us consider this no 9884226767 which is saved as xxx in my contact list...if i dial 123456789884226767 the screen show the call dialled to xxx from this i concluded that the phone is considering only the last seven digits leaving all the number in front of this seven numbers

i got one question from this..
why the phone considering only the last seven digits ...why not last eight
or nine digits????whats the reason behind this?????

Hmm.. I found this to be done intensionally...

The phones check only the last seven digits for contact match...
This is because some countries have this 7 digit mobile number, but here we have ten digit numbers and we quite often find similar with last 7 digits common. Like 9842365865 and 9942365865
