the case. I am reposting here directly.

Hi everyone,
I have had a Samsung S307 for about two weeks now and I've noticed a
minor annoyance with the way it works with Cingular. When I receive an
e-mail to my phone (to myphonenumber@mobile.mycingular.com), the
e-mail appears in my inbox to be from "362-45", instead of the
sender's e-mail address. So I can receive 30 e-mails from 30 separate
people, but they'll all appear in my inbox to be from "362-45".
Furthermore, when I receive an AOL IM (when they send to
+myphonenumber), the from address is "265-060", instead of the screen
name.
My previous phone (Nokia 6340i) did not have this problem and would
correctly display either the e-mail address or the AOL IM screen name.
Does anyone else with the Samsung S307 experience this problem and
more importantly, does anyone with this phone NOT? Maybe I can change
my settings to match yours if you are not experiencing this issue.
Anybody know the reason and/or a fix?
I am in the Metro NY area, if that helps.
Thanks,
Matt

Not much help, but a bit more data. I have the same problem, on a
Sony-Ericsson T68m. I've not found a way around it yet.

I just tried it and noticed the same thing. I've got an s307 as well. Only
workaround I can see is to view the msg since it then tells you who it's
from.
