How to suppress leading '1' for incoming calls

i am in seattle, washington. all my incoming calls have a leading '1', is there a way to suppress this in the phone's settings?
thanks you!

Most, if not all, of my incoming calls have the leading '1' to them. I even used a friend's mobile to call myself to make sure that is the case.
I thought maybe the region setting has something to do with the number format as this was mentioned in the manual...
- International
Use the International settings to set the language for iPhone, turn keyboards for different languages on and off, and set the date, time, and telephone number formats for your region.
So I go into General->International->region format
1. for US - it shows (408)555-1212
2. for singapore - it shows 4085551221
then i call myself
with option 1, i get 1(415)555-1212
with option 2, i get 14155551212
I just don't understand where the leading '1' comes from

Personal rant, why do people write the entire problem in topic line
It's not possible with Windows Phone 8. What's the point, a call is coming in and the phone allows you to answer.

HT4528 how do i increase volume for incoming calls and incoming text?. i have it to max

i have incoming and text messaging to the maximum volume. How can i increase it?

If while you are in Messages and set the volume, that is all you can get. You can try and see if Volume Limit is checked by going to Settings>Music and see if Volume Limit is off.
The only other thing I can recommend, is to create your own ringtone/text tone in a music editor and increase the volume in the file. You may also want to check your speaker area and see that it is clean and not blocked by any debris.

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix? It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list. Can anyone help? I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue. I got a new phone and restored my contacts. If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown. I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

I just got an iphone4. I downloaded a song but i don't know how to make it my ringtone for incoming call. Can someone help?

YOu can't use the whole song for a ringtone, you would have to create one 30 second or less.
YOu can download an app to create the ringtone.

Hello Strangers1,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning audio issues:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Callerid for incoming call

I have configured some clients number as CCM users so that we can easily find and call them from the Corporate Directory. Is it possible for these clients names to show up in the phone for incoming calls (from PSTN)?Some kind of lookup in LDAP...
I use CCM 4.2
Darek

The callerinfo service from the SDK should help you get started. Unfortunately, adding users in ccm only populates the directory - the info shown on the display when making calls is taken from the lines, and I have no clue how ccm would react if you created dummy phones with dummy lines that have the proper number.. the name would probably still not be displayed since the call doesn't come from the line in question but a PSTN trunk.

The the pop up for incoming calls "toaster" keeps dissapearing and i unable to answer the phones.

We have recently installed Lync and I constantly keep losing the "toaster" the pop-up for incoming calls. I can hear them though. I do have dual monitors if that helps. What’s
causing it? IT hasn't been able to identify the problem. I looked everywhere in settings and manuals to see how you can dissable, i am by excident this pop-up or inable it back. cannot find anything on it. Please provide possible scenarios.
I cannot answer responce group calls or any calls for that matter as i use only head set and do not have physical phone.
thank you!

Please sign in with another Lync account to check if the same issue happens.
If other Lync users have the same issue, please try to uninstall Lync client and reinstall it. Delete the related cached file.
