I've missed a few calls frompeople who are not in my contact list.
However when I go to the 'Call Log' to check the call, it does not show the number of the person that has rung me. It just says 'Unknown'.
Is there anyway that I can change this so that it tell me the number atleast of the missed call so that I can call back?

It won't work.
The problem in your case is, that the people who have called you didn't transmit their telephone number.
So, there is no number to show. If a call come in from a number that is transmitted and is not in your contacts it will show you the number....

Hello,
I'm facing the following problem: My Android based (Gingerbread) smartphone has a number of contacts with several phone numbers (home, work, mobile etc.) for each. When I call a contact the call goes through the mobile operator and I'm charged for the call by him.
I also have an an Asterisk-based PBX with a FCT (Fixed Cellular Terminal, or GSM Dialer or Fixed Wireless Terminal) connected to a VOIP provider that charges much less. If I prefix a phone number in Contacts with a fixed string (containing the mobile number to the SIM card in the FCT, plus some pause, plus the password to access the PBX's dial tone plus a bit more of pause) it works fine.
What I'm looking for is a way to have this standard prefix string stored somewhere and it be automatically padded at the beginning of each number dialed. Ideally, when dialing a contact I would be asked if I wanted to call with or without the standard prefix.
Is that doable?
All help is very much appreciated.

After further searching I've come across an app found on Android Market called Prefixer, by 253below.com. It does everything I want and much more. Maybe this info will help some one else looking for this.
Hello
I need a little help please...
i have configured the follow rule für incoming calls:
When numbers matches:
\+49535111222.*
remove characters:
\+49535111
Add number to call log:
prefixer number
other preferences are default.
i will like to see the 222 at a incoming call on the calling sreen, but i dont see it.
In the call log is the correct number 222, but dont on the calling sreen, there is only the android calling number with all caracters

Hi Tobi,
I'm afraid I can't help with your problem as I've only used Prefixer for padding a prefix to outgoing calls, according to filters. However, they have a forum running at the developer's site (253below.com) and you should be able to have your questions replied there.
Is it possible that when i receive a call from a gal contact that the phone can retrieve the name from that contact?
If i search for a contact on gal they all show up, but if i receive a call, i can only see the number and not the name from the contact.
I search for call forwarding on single contacts
example
contact A call me and forwarded to number 1
contact B call me and forwarded to number 2
the provider settings make all or nothing
Did anyone know if its possible?
