Sorry if this is a little long but I want to be thorough. Im not sure if there any many UK users so I'm gonna explain my problem and the way phone numbers work in the UK.
I purchased a Verizon Galaxy S5 with no connection from Best Buy and brought it back to the UK with me to use here, I can insert a SIM from any network and the phone works.
In the UK, all cell phone numbers start with 07. Phone numbers can be dialled as follows, 07834771883 or +447834771883
When I text the US from the UK, I have to put +1 before the number, e.g. +17142208572 or 0017142208571
My problem is texting a UK number as a reply or as a new message to a number I have saved as +447834771883. If I start a new conversation to a number I have saved, or enter as 07834771883, the message delivers as normal.
When I send a text to a number in the format of +447834771883, I get a message back saying' Your text to speech message to 011447834771882 has been rejected by the recipient phone' this message is coming from +4411447834771883
When I reply to a message in my inbox, I am getting the same message back, even though i started the conversation sending the message to an 07 number.
I have come to the conclusion that when I reply, the phone is adding an extra +4411 before the 447834771882.
If anyone understands this, I would appreciate some help. I have gone thru the settings endlessly but can't find anything.
Regards
Marc
