I am unable to dial numbers straight (it comes as alphabets)

Lately, each time i try to dial a number on my blackberry torch, it displays the numbers am dialing only in alphabets in both the search box and dial box. Unless I prefix my dialled numbers with a plus (+) it is just impossible to dial a number outright starting with zero (0)
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hey elikem,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If you press the ALT key before you dial the numbers, do they still appear as letters?  Also when did the issue start?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

    Check this post, the dial assist is part of the iOS 7.1, according to page 49 of the iphone_user_guide
    Make calls to your contacts and favorites while traveling abroad. (GSM) Go to Settings > Phone and turn on Dial Assist. Dial Assist automatically adds the prefix or country code for calls to the U.S.
    This user had a similar problem and solved it by switching off the dial assist feature in Settings/Phone/Dial Assist

  • I can no longer Dial my speed dial numbers by bluetooth after GB update....HELP

    I can even deal with the fact that it erased my original speed dial settings. What I cannot deal with is the fact that BY LAW i must use a hands free device wihle driving but since the GB  update I can no longer Dial my 9 speed dial numbers by Bluetooth. Trying to push the number and hold it for a few secs not only breaks the law and jepordizes my kids in the car . Here how it works ( or supposed to work. I push the button on my head set. It says " Say A Command ". I say Call speed dial 3. It repeats it back to me. I say Yes. It NOW dials the last number dialed. I never had this problem before the update.

    Food for thought:  There is actually information released by the NTSB that even using "hands free" devices while driving have been proven to  distract drivers.
    As for the Bluetooth commands: I've never used "speed dial" I usually say "Call Nicole Mobile" and it will connect still with no problems.
    I just tried to use the voice command "call speed dial 1" and it did not recognize it.  It appears you must use the name now.

  • Nokia lumia 610 randomly dials numbers

    I have a Nokia Lumia 610 and for some odd reason last two weeks it randomly dials numbers either mobile or landline.  When its sat on the kitchen table, it just dials it, more oddly it switches to loud speaker and it does it about 10-15 times same number one after another.
    Switched it off and back on and for a few days its ok and then it does it again.  Anyone ever come across this and is it fixable

    Hi genpower,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    Do you have a screen protector on the screen? Sometimes a screen protector can do selections on it's on, especially if it is of a lower quality. If so, try to remove the film to see if it fixes the issue. 
    You could try to reset your phone, which will reinstall the operating system on the phone. To reset your phone, go to settings > about > reset your phone. It is recommended to synchronise all your media files before doing this, as it will remove all user files on the phone. Please note that you will lose all your text messages in the process. 
    Let us know how you get on!

  • Unable to dial out in China

    my att Curve 8300 is unlocked but I'm unable to dial out, however, I can receive calls. I'm in China. I put the Sim card in
    another unlocked phone and it works. When I check my BlackBerry the display reads:
    Sim Card: Security Disabled (this top part is in the locked description but the following is in the unlocked instruction) Why?
    ID#
    Personalization all read Disabled.
    I have entered my code to unlock the phone twice, and I'm told if I do it and it fails the third time it will self destruct...or it will
    permanently be locked. Any clarity will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • After updating to Maverick on my Mac - unable to open numbers or pages docs on iPad or iPhone any suggestions or info?

    After updating to Maverick on my Mac - unable to open numbers or pages docs on iPad or iPhone any suggestions or info?

    I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
    i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
    IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer

  • How to erase all 9 last dialed numbers from a Treo 750

    Dear Friends,
    Does someone knows how to erase all the last 9 dialed numbers that appears in a Treo 750 when the left green (phone Icon) key is pressed?
    Just in case, I already tried to erased them using the "Call Log" Menu "delete All Calls" option, but it does no erased the 9 last call numbers listed when the left green (phone Icon) is pressed.
    Thanks for your help.
    Alex
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.   Unfortunately there is no easy way to eliminate those last 9 calls.  As you have already found out deleting the call log removes the bulk of the log but leaves the last 9.  The only way to remove them would be to do a hard reset which would also delete all data on your device.  Now you may find a third party application for windows mobile that will help with this issue but there is no simple way to remove those calls.

  • My iphone 5 only stores a certain number of dialed numbers , any way to make it store more numberS?

    Like when I was using my old samsung , if i dial a number from a 2 weeks ago , im able to retrieve it from the dialed numbers , its not gone , but with iphone only a few days and poof they disappear , any idea how to stop that?

    Recents is limited to exactly 100 calls, independent of whether they are assigned to a contact or not.  No way to change that.
    You can delete recent calls you don't care about to keep the list from filling up.  Swipe across the call and press the Delete button or use the Edit button, top right.

  • Forward two different dial numbers at the same time to the same destination

    Hello everybody,
    I need to forward two different dial numbers in the same phone (Cisco 6921) to the same destination.
    I'd change the phone if it'll be necessary.
    Forward from the end user web is not a valid posibility. It is neccesary to do this forward from the phone.
    Any idea, suggestion or testing scenario should be appreciated.
    I use CUCM 8.5
    Thanks in advance.

    you can mask the other number by using translation pattern

  • N8 how to bring back Frequently Dialed numbers

    My N8 had the Frequently Dialed numbers widget on the home screen, but i removed it. How can I get it back there? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You have to add a widget called Favourites to one of your homescreens. If you don't already have a blank position in the homescreen you will need to remove an existing widget to make space. 
    I presume you already know how to edit and setup a homescreen since you were able to remove the widget in the first place.  

  • Losing speed dial numbers

    Is there any way to preserve speed dial numbers on a cell phone (Motorola e815) when using Bluetooth? It is a pain to have to redo this every time I sync (using iSync) the address book from my computer to my phone.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The problem is that Motorola phones don't know how to sync. iSync does it best (I hope) to provide "sync'ing" experience with those phones.
    One consequence is whenever iSync has to change one contact on the phone, it has to delete the contact and add a new one (likely to change the speed dial) and since the protocol used to access the contacts does not expose all "information" (especially the advanced ones), you are likely to lose them when changed on the Mac.

  • I fixed my cellular phone Sim in iPad but unable to dial/talk. Whats

    I fixed my cellular phone SIM in my iPad-4 but unable to dial & talk to my contacts. Although network signals are shown on the screen. What is the function of SIM in my iPad & how it can be activated to use as cellulary phone?

    An iPad isn't a phone so you can't do 'normal' phone calls with it. You can do FaceTime calls, or use apps such as Skype For iPad.
