Solution to my contact problem: I changed one of my "Matt" contacts to "Matthew" and now both show up in the DialCentral contacts.
@epage - I noticed a minor bug in version 1.2.7. When I go to view "all messages" to show the 4 sms that I sent today, it displays the "time" of the last refresh on the first line, then two of the sent sms, then the "date", followed by the other two sms. I would expect the "date" to be just under the "time" of the last refresh followed by the 4 sms. This happens even after exiting and then running DialCentral again. This problem has seemed to clear up by itself after a few more refreshes.
