SMS sender not shown Apache for cricket

[AcidicIV]

I recently purchased an Apache ppc-6700 "preflashed for cricket" aftet having to return the first for being doa, and running into software/battery issues on my replacement im really starting to regret this venture. When i recieve a text message the sender is not shown, occasionally i get the last two or three digits of their number imbedded in the subject line but thats it, I have been searching around and only found one mention of my issue, lacking a how to, the issue seems to be caused during the installation of wm6, I am really new at this and was wondering if someone could help me sove this, preferably just by a reg change or a patch, but im not at all opposed to reloading the os
