Q: Messages and Facetime don't recognize my contacts phone number
After updating to 10.9.2 my Messages and Facetime app don't recognize my contacts phone number I have the number saved without the international code +X but in the apps it appears with the international code. When I try to add the number to my contact it recognizes it and won't let me add it, so I'm stuck with a lot of conversations from phone numbers and not contacts. Anyone else has this problem? If I try to start a new conversation with a contact, the app recognizes the number and it shows up in that conversation but the name doesn't show, only the number.

Hi,
I have the computer, Messages app and the Contacts app set to the United Kingdom.
This does seem to be something to do with the +44 that gets added to my Contacts that have iPhone numbers.
I presume it is the setting in Messages that does this.
In Messages menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages accounts click the Details Button and then sign in via the pane that shows up.
At the bottom of the pane that replaces that is the Country selector.
Select where you are and then Save.
