Ari

We send txt to cell phones from outlook, we have these cell users in our
contacts as well, (example: (e-mail address removed)) is named JOE, when JOE
reply’s from his cell phone the FROM display name showing in outlook from the
cell phone shows numbers (example: (e-mail address removed)) how can I make it
show the name JOE that I have for it in my contacts?

Thanks

correct, im trying to see if it can be replaced before or when it hits the
users outlook, maybe some script to compare it to a file or contact list.

Thanks
