I've seen it and I'm pretty sure this is an android bug. I noticed that in lollipop, contacts with the same number but different area codes are not treated differently in the messaging UI.

This looks like it was posted in an Apple subforum, and anecdotally this came to my attention because of someone I know with an iPhone, so I think that might be a separate issue (or possibly a different incarnation of the same issue). Also, in this instance, I think the entire phone number is unrecognized, not just the area code.

Hard to tell where the problems are between the carrier and handset are nowadays. Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it.

But these people all seem to be strangers.
