How to add "1" in front of area code and phone number?

The phone numbers I imported into my iPhone from my Address Book don't have a "1" in front of them. So now, when I'm out of town and want to dial a number from Contacts, an automated message from my carrier tells me the number I'm dialing is long distance and requires a "1" at the beginning. On my old Treo, I could add a "1" in the "Dialing" set-up menu. The system knew enough to ignore it for local calls but enabled it for long distance calls. Is there no way to do this on iPhone? Many thanks.

This is one of the many lacking iPhone features that I've taken for granted in other basic cell phones for years. Ironically, the iPhone's weakest part is the phone.
Rogers will put through a call that has been dialed without the "1", but only after listening to a lengthy message that encourages you to program all of your phone numbers with the "1".
Sure, you can prepend a "1" before all phone numbers in your address book, however, that will cause problems if you share your address book with your computer and use an autodialer on your computer, because most land lines won't tolerate the "1" before a local number.

  • 1 + area code and phone number

    All phone numbers are coming up 1 + area code and phone number. Is there a way to turn off the "1+" and just have area code and phone number?

    In areas that have more than one area code for the same geographic area, 10 digit dialing with area code is mandatory. 1+ dialing is required from land lines, but the 1+ is optional from mobile phones.
    "What is an Area Code Overlay?
    An overlay is the addition of another area code to the same geographic region as an existing area code. An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code.
    What Will be the New Dialing Procedure?
    To complete calls from a landline phone, the new dialing procedure requires callers to dial 1 + area code + telephone number. This means that all calls in the 310 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using 1+ area code + telephone number.
    To complete calls from a cellular or mobile phone, callers may dial the area code + telephone number or 1 + area code and telephone number whenever placing a call from a phone number with an overlay area code."
    Since it doesn't matter using a mobile phone, I guess the databases have included the 1+ for completeness and all users (mobile and land line) can be accommodated.

  • Add 1 in front of area code

    Is there a fast way to add the number one in front of all out going calls? and also when setting up the phone number in the contacts list?
    My husband and I both have Iphones and I set up my phone numbers with the area code included.  But recently when I called his phone , his phone never rang and went straight to voicemail.  He did not receive the voicemail for more than an hour after I called him.  If I had been in an emergency he would not have received the message.
    We called our provider ATT which had this answer.....even though i had the area code included  I should have had the number one in front of the area code and then the call would have gone through.  ATT states that this is a "new regulation" that is going through the FCC.
    If that is true then I think 99.9% of the population has not heard of it.
    If that is true then why doesn't the newest phone - the Iphone 4S - have a capability to auto set the number one before dialing and auto set the fact that a phone number is required to have  the area code with each phone number that is stored.
    I look forward to any resolutions to my question.  Otherwise it is another manual job of going thru each phone contact and adding the information "required" by the FCC.

    Doesn't sound right to me.  I don't have 1 in front of any of my contacts and they always go through.  I would check with someone else at AT&T on that.
    Edit: I'm also on AT&T

  • I keep getting calls from non existing area codes and phone numbers.  They are never the same number twice.  How do I stop this?

    About a week ago I started getting phone calls on my cell phone from numbers that do not exist, including the area codes.  I can not report these to the Do Not Call list because the area code is non existent.  I'm getting these calls all the time now and never from the same number twice so there's no point in blocking them.  If I answer I may or may not get a person who has an accent from India so heavy that I can't understand what they are saying.  This is getting to the point where I just want to cry I'm so frustrated.  Anyone else having this issue or does anyone know how to stop it?
    Thank you

    I'm sorry that you are having all these troubles. I have sent you a private message.

  • I am unable to change my credit card number, because my profile shows United States therefore it does not accept the phone area code, and zip number, because I live in Switzerland. Please inform me how to do it. Many thanks.

    I am unable to change my credit card number because my apple profile shows me as a resident of the United States, although I live in Switzerland. Consequently I cannot edit my area code, zip number, State info, etc. Please advise me how to do it. Many thanks.

    Hello Luis,
    To update your billing information, you would need to change your iTunes Store country to be able to enter the information for Switzerland.  I found an article with the steps to update this:
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Append Area Code to Phone Number

    I have a table with about 30,000 rows and of that, 1200 have phone numbers without an area code. I would like to append the area code to these phone numbers. What's the quickest and easiest way to do this? I've already identified the rows needing the update. The column datatype is just "VARCHAR2 (20 Byte)". Thanks!

    Whenever you post code, even if it's only 3 lines, format it to make it easy to read and understand.
    For example:

    Set      Phone_Number     = '972' || Phone_Number
    Where      length (Phone_Number)     < 10; When posting any formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(all small letters, inside curly brackets} before and after each section of formatted text, to keep the spacing.

    Ah, it looks like I should have read your title more carefully. Are the  files on the PCs that you want to share with your iMac in a shared folder?
    If not, follow the steps on this page to set up shares from Windows 7.
    If that is already set up, connect to the share from the iMac using this article.

  • How to add the business transaction to t-code : CIC0 in win client

    Dear sir,
    We use CRM 5.0 . We would like to add business activity tranaction into t-code : CIC0. But I don't know how to do. Please kindlyadvise how to add the business transaction to t-code : CIC0 in win client.
    Thank u and best regards,
    Vimol

    Hello,
    For each transaction type (e.g. Sales Order, Business Activity, opportunity, ....) you can maintain in which channel (IC WebClient, IC WinClient, SAPGUI, PCUI, ...) they are allow to be used. Probably the transaction types you want to see in the IC WinClient (= CIC0) are not enabled for this channel, that's why they don't appear in the WinClient (CIC0).
    How to do this?
    SPRO>CRM>Transaction>Basic Settings>Define transaction types
    Here, look for the transaction types you want to enable in WinClient. Select the transactiont type and select "Channels" from the left pane. Here, add the channel "IC WinClient" (or something like that, I don't know the exact name anymore, in newer versions this no longer exists).
    Save and restart the CIC0, after this the transaction type should be enabled.
    Hope this helps,
    Joost

    I know how to add lyrics to a song in iTunes and then see them on my iPod. But now I'm interested in watching those lyrics on my windows pc...can I ? What do I do so than I can see the lyrics of the song while it plays ?

    This is the correct behavior. When you play a song, the play count and last played time gets updated. When you resync the iPod, the track gets copied to the iPod to update these new changed fields.
    There is no fix for this, this is what it is supposed to do.
