Whenever I try and send a message it reports an error - "Sorry, the number you are sending to does not contain the correct number of digits"
Basically, using the default Messenger app, when I go to compose a new message and choose a contact from within the app, all of the contacts numbers now have 01144 instead of the usual 0 in front of the number for that person. So instead of 11 digits they have 15 and the message fails. Yet when I check the contacts in my phonebook they are all ok.
There seems no way to delete contacts from within the Messenger app or any way of editing them. I've tried disabling the Messsenger app and rebooting the phone, then re-enabling the app hoping the app will re-populate it's contacts from the phonebook contacts. But I still get the same issue.
Could this be an issue because I am in the UK and it is trying to add an international code before the numbers? The code for UK is 44 but I've no idea where the 011 would come into it. I've only noticed this since I updated to Marshmallow, I've never had this issue before, but I'm not sure if that's what's caused it as I tend to use other messaging apps rather than the default app.
Any ideas on what's causing it or how to solve it?
