Google search returned phone numbers adding 1+

[mikemcs]

When I do a search for a business and Google results returns the info along with a phone number if I click the number it automatically comes up in the dialer, however it puts a +1 in front of the number and adds the area code.

The dialer makes the call and immediately hangs up with a message call ended?

on Sprint network

any ideas?

This seems like a Sprint network issue...call them and complain.

Same thing is happening on my Verizon note 2 as well.

I'm on Sprint and mine also adds the 1 and area code, but I have no problems calling, works just fine.

Yeah this happens for me on sprint as well with the new dialer. If i remove the + it works but that sucks to do

Because +1 is the code for dialing in these United States. Although it's not usually needed anymore, for the most part, Google has chosen to use it just in case the number you're dialing is outside of your area code. For example, here in NY if you call a borough outside of your own you need to dial 1 before the area code.

it used to work and on ATT it works with the + .
