Why does the contract name not show up when i try to add a contact from a text message

[Android Central Question]

When people try to give me their contact info by text message, their names don't show up even if it showed up in the text

Welcome to Android Central! Are they sharing their info as a .vcf file? Bring up their contact and look through all of the fields -- is their name in the wrong field (like Company)?

No they just send me a text and their info shows up but when I try to save the contact the name is not shown in any field

If you save the number as a contact, you typically have to add the name yourself.
