+ sign in front of phone number in text messages

I've had a + sign show up in front of two phone numbers in my text message list; these were old texts that I had saved and I seem to remember a more recent number having the same thing happen. None of these were messages from contacts in my phone. What does this mean?

It seems that if you don't have a contact for a phone number, it will be listed in the international format which starts with a "+" sign - I just checked my iPhone 5 and it has the same situation.

Plus sign in front of phone number

I notice when I plug my iphone into itunes, I have the phone number "+1 (123) 456-7890" what does the plus sign mean? I notice several contacts also had it after updating to iOS 501

+1 is the country code, or more precisely the World Zone, for the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which includes the USA, Canada, Bermuda and the Caribbean. +44 is the country code for the UK, for example. in the US you would dial it as 011-44-xxxxx, but in France you would dial it as 00-44-xxxxx. Using "+" means you don't have to know those details (011 vs 00).

my imessage is not activating with my mobile number, i do not receive code for text forwarding in my ipad/ air 2, my iphone 4s and ipad is operating with the same iOS. plz help i am being able to use call and messages forwarding facilities.

Hi, uttam_june15.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I am not sure if you are unable to activate iMessage or that your phone number is not registering with iMessage. However, here are the troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

HT5760 Can I enter a phone number to text message?

I want to send a group text but using only phone numbers. Can this be done and if so, how do I separate each phone number.

when you leave a space the os should recognize this as a new number or destination. Please note that if not all of your contacts in your group have imessenger (iphone or ipod or ipad) they will not be able to reply to everyone, you will receive a message back as a solo message from the person. but the other people in the group will not see their response.

TS2755 With the new IOS7 how do i tell which phone number my text messaging is being sent to? on the old system the number used to be highlighted, now nothing is highlighted and i have ended up sending texts to my friends international numbers instead ???

With IOS7 I am finding it impossible to (a) tell which number I am texting, when my contacts have multiple phone numbers, i dont know wether it si their home , monile/cell or international number... How do i differnetiate or know which number it is, especially when they text me from abrioad and i replying ...its not very clear adn has cost me extra in international charges

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

Call back number in text messages

How do I turn off the call back number in text messages? This is an extremely annoying feature that I don't want on my phone, how do I turn it off?

Hey dkmiotek!
I know that including that signature in each message can be a bit of a nuisance so allow me to help you out today!
If you go into your messages, please click on the 3 small at the bottom corner. This will bring up a menu and you can click into settings. In there, you will see signature. Here you can simply turn it off, or put in whatever you'd like instead. I hope this helps!
Thanks!

Limit on number of text messages stored?

I have a Lumia 520. Is there a limit of the number of text messages that can be stored on this device (other than memory)?

Thank you for the responses but I fear that my question is misunderstood.
The original question was -- does anyone know if there is a limit of how many messages can be stored on a 520?
Now, the reason for the question.
Let's say, for this purpose, the phone can store 500 messages. Now, if i get more than 500, earlier ones would be deleted if it works like other phones. No problem, we say, because the phone backs them up. so, if i have 1000 messages, 500 are on the phone, but all 1000 are in SkyDrive (somewhere).
Here comes the issue. In this scenario, if I restore my phone I can only restore 500 of the 1000 messages, because that is all the phone can store! And, because I cannot see them, in SkyDrive, the other 500 are, pretty much unrecoverable.
This is why I wanted to know what the phone's limit is.
Cheers

When I get a phone call or text message it will not make the sound. Just vibrate. But the switch is on normal. When I change it to vibrate the volume thing will not show. Nor will my up volume up key work. Is there any way to fix it?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My phone took a text message that was sent to me and forwarded it to 16 random contacts from my phone. ?????????

I have a LG Lucid 2

I did not create that message. It says it was from my sister in law but my
phone chose from my contacts randomly who to send it to. I live in 17350

I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

That's weird that these iphones are restored/activated through iTunes. I have a Apple so I have iTunes, yay!! I am guessing that the link that you gave me will tell how to put this iphone into Recovery mode? Now, this old iphone would of been activated on his laptop, which is with him and he is out of state. I have a new Apple, his new iphone would of been activated on our new Apple computer because he was here for Christmas and he didn't bring his laptop with him, or did he bring it with him, I don't remember now.... Now the question is, will I be able to restore his old iphone on my new computer seeing it would of activated on his laptop which is with him out of state. I am so worried that I am going to lock up this phone now. I thought I deleted the orginal guestion, and rewrote it, good grief, lol Oh wow, you are a level 10, I would be at a level -10!

Contact your provider and see if they have a means to do this. It can be done for a cost with AT&T.

Any Nokia phones with Threaded Text messaging?

I'm looking for a Nokia phone with threaded text messaging.
Rather like the Palm Centro or Iphone:
Anyone know of a basic model that can do it?
I'm currently lusting after the Nokia 3720 Classic and would love if it could organise messages in a more useful way, and banish my thoughts of bulkier handsets. I've loved my Nokia 6030 for a few years but its disintergrating now.

s60 phones are usually the smartphone family the E and N series all run on s60.
6700 new navigator, the 6220c also runs on s60, 5800xm runs on the new gen for touch screens s60
the lower modesl 1xxxxx,2xxxxx,3xxxx, 5xxxx,6xxx (the 6 family is divided and can either run on s40 or s60 depending on the phone) series usually run on s40 platform. for every phone you can look up specs and it will tell you which platform or operating system the phone runs on
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....
