+1 on incoming calls

On Sprint. 9+. How do I turn this off? I don't see a point in it. It is aggravating.

The full phone number includes the country code, which is 1 for North America. The + is needed now, because a lot of countries use 1 as the first digit of an internal (to the country) number.

In the US and Canada, a call with or without the one goes to the US or Canada, so it doesn't matter if it's there or not. (It messes with some call blockers, but if the call blocker is done correctly [by the developer] it ignores the + and the 1 if they're there, but blocks the following phone number. A 0-9 match or a 2-11 match should be considered a match in North America. If it doesn't work, contact Samsung or send feedback to Google [via Settings - just put feedback in the search bar and give them the "A 0-9 ..." sentence above in the feedback. I don't get a +1 on my incoming calls, so I've never had the problem, so I never sent them feedback. If it already works (and I can't check it), sending them feedback would be stupid.

Although Google will probably say that Samsung has to do it individually for each of their CSC (Consumer Software Customization) setups.

(If anyone asks you to do the regex for them, it's \+?1?<then the area code and number>

When calls come in. They come with the +1. When I try to call right back it has that on it and won't go thru.

Tap next to the displayed phone number and edit out the +1, then place your call.

I have a similar problem. Mine is where I call out and my contacts numbers somehow gets the +1 in the number and then the phone asks me if i want to make an international call. I get worried every time i make a call thinking I might get charged for an international call. Why does this keep happening? I never used to have this problem but had it with my GS7 also. on the 9+ now.
