How do I add an area code to a phone number after clicking number in text message?

Some people send 7 digit phone number in emails and text messages, and I need to add the area code to the front of the number, or else AT&T will choke. I have not found a simple way to do this.
Current method: copy number to notes, add area code, then paste full number into dialer

Any carrier in the U.S. will choke unless the number is in your area code.
I'm not aware of a way to do this. Selecting the number dials the number.

    try searching in the App store for something that will do that.  You can't do that natively.

  • How do I add the country code to all contacts when it did not previously appear?

    I just moved from the US to the UK and purchased a new iPhone 4S.  When my contacts migrated from Outlook to the iPhone they did not include the country code in the US and therefore all contacts numbers are now listed incorrectly.  How can I add the country code to hundreds of contacts painlessly?
    Thanks in advance.

    International Assist is activated.  Upon further review this appears to be a case of the original country codes not being added when the contact list was constructed.  iOS has not figured this out and thus when changing countries I've been forced to add the country codes to every contact record manually.  Disappointing and very labour intensive.  If only Apple allowed for a macro that simplified the mass change.

    When i bought a new iphone5 in Inda after using it for three days lock button was not working properly and it was warranty claimed and exchanged from apple service center in India, for the same phone I want to extend the warranty but its showing a error message is there any solution?

    Here is some information on the applecare +:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

  • Fcx4 bin clips are not appearing in the viewer after clicking on them.

    fcx4 bin clips are not appearing in the viewer after clicking on them , i need help getting them to appear in the viewer.

    I have the same issue. I am using apex.oracle.com for some test applications, but for last couple of weeks when I login and click the "Application builder" I could not see my applications there (around 4-5 of them)! It says No applications found.
    Neither I have any application groups setup nor do any criteria given in "Application" search field under "Application builder".
    The only way I could access some, if not all, of my applications is to pull it from the link under the context box "Recent" (which you can see in the right hand side of the "Application builder" page.)
    Any help is greatly appreciated. This issue is not a show stopper as I could still pull out my critical applications from the recent link, but its definitely a worrisome issue.
    Thanks in advance

  • Can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back

    can not delete text messages without phone freezing when i reset it text messages are back...help taking up a lot of space.

    Try this...
    Close out all apps (double click the home button and swipe up) then delete one thread.  Do a hard reset of the phone or ipad, then wait a few minutes and it should be gone.  I just did this with a thread that had thousands of txt and it worked for me.  The older phones just don't have much processing power.

    How doo I get my iphone 4s to remind me once that i have a text message?

    Apart from the "text tone" that you can select from SETTINGS - SOUNDS, you can also customize the reminder/notification in SETTINGS - NOTIFICATIONS - MESSAGES
    You can choose the alert style; number of times it would alert you (Max 10 times) and select to view the message in locked screen.

  • How do I add a tracking code to my page?

    I want to add a tracking code to my page but iWeb doesn't seem to allow it. I copied the html code from a 3rd party site (Google Analytic) and tried pasting into the html widget in iWeb but when I check the tracking report it keeps telling me the code has not been installed. I have tried placing the text block at various places on the page and still no luck. The directions at Google Analytic tell me where I need to paste it into the html code but to do that I need an html editor or a text editor that can read html.
    Am I doing something wrong with the html widget? If a tracking code can't be added with a widget is there a way I can edit the source code directly? A text editor, maybe? I tried Word but but it wouldn't open the page.
    Thanks for any help!
    Rikki

    There's a way to add Google Analytic to pages without having to edit the page. It's a little bit of work but it's a one time process. Read about it here: http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/05/entry_316.html
    Or you could add StatCounter to each page to get not only the number of hits but lots more information:
