Phone numbers mixing up between contacts

I set up several email lists sometime ago and it seems like afterwards the phone numbers of one contact is somehow showing up with an unrelated contact.

im often not sure which number is correct. Contacts that previously had one

number now have two.

Confused.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

All callers in contacts showing as unknown I just got the new iphone15 and set it up by synching it with the iCloud.I see the contacts name in contacts but when anyone in my contacts calls they show as unknown. When I get a text from a contact the name is showing up with one of their email accounts which I don’t even have saved in my contact info. I tried turning off the iCloud contacts - no difference , rebooted phone , no difference. I toggled the iCloud contacts back on and still no change. Seeing all callers as unknown is an issue for me.

iCloud contact caller ID during inbound call. Strange one. We have a user that has recently been migrated from an iPhone 13 to a new iPhone 16 - backup/restore was done via Configurator. Now, contacts stored within the iCloud account and present in the phone will NOT 'look up' on the inbound call screen (i.e it just shows the number) when a call is coming in - BUT when the recent call list is opened, the name appears as expected. The obviously worked prior to the move to the new device. The same thing happens if the phone is locked or not. Contacts that have come in via MS Outlook work fine - i.e. the name is presented on the incoming call screen (instead of the number) AND also in the recent call list. Help!

Some contact numbers on my Contacts are showing "item1XABLabel" Has anyone experience this? Some of my contacts are showing this "item1XABLabel" after the phone number. This is showing across all my devices. It started after I switch my SIM card since I am currently overseas. Even to newly added contacts the issue also happened. I am only using iCloud contacts.

Go to Settings/Contacts/Accounts. How many accounts have the switch for Contacts turned on? If it’s more than one, that is what is causing the problem.
