IPhone doesn't recognise contact calling without country prefix

All my contacts are saved with the country code prefix so that when I travel internationally I can dial my contacts directly. However, when I receive a call from one of my contacts calling without the country code prefix, the iPhone doesn't recognise the contact as the number calling. The only way it works is when I save the contact twice - once with and then without the country code prefix. Is there a fix for this?

You need to change your region settings accordingly in order to make this work. Numbers that do not work within the set region without the country code will be a headache. Why not put everyone with the right prefix? That way you won't have to worry about any of this ever again...
Here's what happens when you change region on a number that's not prefixed correctly:
For example, Austria is +43
05-1717 is the customer service hotline for the train network.
Now, if you have some other region set, like America for example, calling 05-1717 will go out as +1 057 171 7 and will error out accordingly.
For contacts and messaging:
Lets say their number is +41 76 593 65 00
But you have it saved as 076 593 65 00
The region set is America:
So +1 is implied, and being that that number is Swiss, your phone will not recognize it as the same person.
Because it sees the number as +1 076 593 6500.

Caller identification country code

Is it possible to remove the country code from my caller id?
For example insteag of +44121xxxxxxx it would make more sense if it were 0121xxxxxxx

Inbound texts automatically add country code, won't allow me to respond

I travel a great deal for work and spend most of my time overseas. Because of this, I have a local SIM I use in Europe (Vodafone). I have everything set up, texting, calling, data. However, everytime I receive an inbound text, the country code is automatically added, +39 in this instance. Everytime I try to respond to a text, it get the "Message Failed" notification. I AM, however, able to send texts while texting the respondents number manually, or using my contacts list, without country codes added. I've tried with Assisted Dialing off and on, with the current country configured properly. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, I've scoured Google for answers but nothing seems to work.

Yes, that worked with my son's ipod when we newly set it up. But my daughter didn't set up her game center right away and I think that had something to do with it.
But I found the answer!!! I kept searching the other discussions on this site and found the answer from BandomaM dated April 12, 2011.
He said to go into an existing game on the ipod that would allow multi players (we used fruit ninja). It will then prompt you to sign in using an existing account or create a new one. We used the existing and her Apple ID and confirmed the stuff and agreed. Then (as BandomaM put it) "BAM!" it worked!!! We are thrilled.

HUB showing contact number with country code and not with its name..blackberry Z10 STL100-2

I have an issue with Text Messages and call lists, in my blackberry Z10 (STL100-2), which is, If I have not saved my contact numbers without country code, the msg may appear in local formate (w/o country code), and it also appear as International formate (another times), and though the number is same (only saperate is country code) in the hub, it appear as two conversation. for eg: if I sent txt to 9899100 (w/o country code), reply used to come as +960-9899100. or vice-versa.
So its very difficult. and here i came for help.
You might know a lot what we do not know as we do know a lot you do not know. Asking is the way to get to know....

The movies were all on my SD card. They are also not backed up by Link which is why had them synced to my phone as a poor man's backup.
So either Link did not backup the necessary licensing information in the main memory of my phone, or Link did not synchronize the necessary licensing information off my SD card. Either way I am stuck with 3 movies that I cannot play, because I can no longer find them in the BlackBerry World store to re-dowbload whatever licensing information is needed.
I even just tried a media restore from Link because it was 138 MB in size (and in don't normally store anything on my phone's main storage), but alas no licensing information was restored.

Lumia 800- country code (e.g. +852, +86) cannot be...

After upgraded to 7.8, i found that the phone call with country code cannot be recognized.
For example, a contact "John" with number : +852-999999 is saved in contact.
In before, no matter the incoming number is 999999 or +852-999999 or +86 999999, it can still be recognized.
(the phone can smartly determine which part is the country code)
however, after upgraded to 7.8, it cannot be recognized anymore.
Vice versa, if I save 999999 for John in the contact, if i am overseas and receiving the call e.g. +86-999999
it will show "unknown" because +86-999999 is not saved in contact.
I have tried the same sim card on another WP7 phone, iOS phone and android, it is normal (same as what i use before)
This is very annoying.
This problem is never found before upgrade.
If anyone have idea, please feel free to advice.
Thank you

Hi all,
Thanks for your feedback and patience. In order for Lumia 800s with product code 059M539 to be updated to the current firmware revision we would like to ask you to visit a Nokia Care Point to have your device updated.
Please make sure you have your contacts and calendars synced with the services you use (Hotmail/Google/Exchange) and you have all your media files synchronized with your PC (through Zune) or Mac (through the connector). In case of a required hard reset these files and personal data will be deleted from the Lumia. After the update you can use the app Reinstaller to download all your free and paid for apps back to your Lumia.
Again, thanks for your patience.

I am currently in Cameroon, Africa and after arriving here, I added Global services to my plan in hopes to be able to use my phone to call local numbers. When I dial local numbers in Cameroon, with or without the country code, the call fails. I suspect it may be that the phone is 3G and this area only supports 2G. Help!

cctga,
We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble while traveling. We definitely want to make sure you have all available options. Normally when traveling internationally we reccommend setting up international services prior to leaving. When you added the services did you do so online or with a rep? It would be best to contact our global department in order to troubleshoot any and all issues with services while international http://vz.to/17KseUf.

How can I make local calls without using a country code when it's in my Contacts?

The phone numbers in my Contacts all contain country codes because I do a lot of travelling.
An example of this might be:
+1 (229) 123-4567
+44 (0)12 345 6789
+31 (0)10 2345 6789
I have an unlocked phone so when I travel, I usually pick up a local SIM and use that to make calls.
The problem I have is that when I am abroad and select a phone number from my contact list it doesn' work. For example, if I select a contact with the number:
+31 (0)10 2345 6789
A voice-recording comes on saying that the number I had dialed was incorrect.
But when I dial the number manually:
010 2345 6789
It works.
In the US I do not have this problem because for some reason, the phone knows whether the +1 is needed or not. I'm sure if it uses it at all when you're in the US. When I dial internationally from within the US, the number dialing works fine.
So this problem only occurs when I'm dialing locally in the country I'm in while travelling outside the US.
Anyone have any idea of why this is happening and more importantly, what I need to do to fix this? I would hate to have go and change all my contact numbers and get rid of the country codes. If I ever have to call those numbers internationally, I'll need to manually add the country code back in.
Very annoying!
Advice anyone?

If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

How can I call contacts from my list without the country code that is registered with that contact?

I have all my contacts registered with a country code. When I want to make calls from my iphone, I do not want the phone to dial the country code, but only the area code. How can I make that happen?

Your 3G backup contains your contacts already, you don't need to sync them to Outlook or anything just restore the backup file from the 3G onto the 4S and you should be good to go.

If I store name's phone number with a country code eg. 218-925555555 and I receive a call as 0925555555 then only number is appeared and no name appears

if I store a name with phone number with a country code eg. +218-925555555 and I receive a call from that pearson then only number ( 0925555555 ) is appeared but no name.
and visa versa when I store 925555555 and I receive a call from that pearson then only number ( +218-925555555 ) is appeared but no name.
moreover, the same happens with messaging

Or were you referring to the one in the old temporary replacement device? Would that even be compatible with the newer phones?
The one that wasn't working had a 4G LTE SIM card in it. It should have usable in the replacement Razr. It was only until I read the OP a third time this morning that there might be a third device involved. It would be nice if people would give more specifics on what devices are active at what time. Then the readers of this community can follow the progression of the events better.

Hi, Thilina66. You say you have entered the country code but still cannot make international calls. I suppose you are adding the international access code before the country code. This internaltional access code (011 in the US, 00 in Europe, etc.) can be substituted by adding a + sign before the country code.
For example, to call a number in the UK from the US you have to dial:
011 44 7540 267898
or
+44 7540 267898
To call a number in the US from the UK you have to dial:
00 1 212 456 1470
or
+1 212 456 1470
Please check that the contact number in your address book is correctly written if you are dialing directly from the address book or that you enter the correct numbers in the keyboard if you are dialing from the keyboard.

A Skype Number is just a regular landline number and can be called by anyone from anywhere. What error message did the caller receive? Make sure your privacy settings allow calls from anyone and save any changes. This is a common mistake made by users who have Skype Numbers.
