My Samsung Galaxy Note 9 when i receive calls it has a + sign in front of ever number

[Android Central Question]

My Note 9 ever call that comes in has a + sign in front of the number why plus has spaces

That happens if the number is from a country different than th one the phone is set up for. The cellphone system ignores the +, it ignores whether or not the country code is there if it's the country you're in and, if some apps have trouble with they, the developer wasn't following the rules. Spaces in phone numbers aren't real - they're displayed for you, but there's no <space> character in the phone number itself. (<Space> in text is an actual character just like a or -, but there's no <space> character in phone numbers - it's a different coding system.)

All mine show the + as well. Never really thought about it before since most calls are from my contacts which just show names and not numbers.
