Missed call notifications says "Wireless Caller" instead of name or phone number.

[cndman]

When I have a missed call my notification only says "Missed Call / Wireless Caller" instead of displaying the name or phone number of the person who called even when they are in my address book. I cant seem to find a setting for this besides the "Notifications on lock screen- Show content" which I have already enabled. I also have "Show caller information" enabled in the call settings. Anybody know why this is happening?

What's shown is the caller ID. Some phone companies send "Wireless caller" as the caller ID for cellphones. Your phone is displaying what it's being sent - there's nothing you can do about it. (I've been called by states and cities - Reno NV or Utah as the caller ID. And there are apps that let you set your own caller ID, which isn't illegal unless done for illegal purposes [like defrauding someone].)

i had this issue with my s6. if you have verizon, try going to the caller id app. go to account tools and select account status. there you can see if you have an active subscription for caller id. if you end the subscription, it will show your contact name chosen for the person when they call.
