Dialing "011" in front of some contacts?

[tomkern]

So my Incredible will randomly dial "011" in front of contact phone numbers. The trigger seems to be when I use the (xxx) in the area code.

I've gone through and taken out the parenthesis on my contacts. However Urban Spoon keeps the parenthesis and passes them to the dialer app.

Any way to turn off the "011" dial assist?

Open up settings > call > then scroll down.

 

[tomkern]

The Assisted Dialing is turned off now and it's still dialing 011.

 

[Cory Streater]

What if you edit the IDD Prefix and remove the 011? FWIW, all of my contacts use the (xxx) format for area code, and I have yet to run into this issue.

I am getting the same problem.

From apps such as Urban Spoon and even direct dialing from contact lists, the 011 pops up.

I have turned off the Assisted Dialing and it is still showing up.

I have a HTC Droid Incredible.

Did you try the suggestion from post #4?

 

[JF]

The screen will not allow the input to be blank. It defaults back to the 011.

Even from my contact list, when I hold down to direct dial, I get the "011" and the call jumps to international dialing.

Anyone else experience this?

I am in the Phoenix area and we have 3 area codes - 480, 602, 623.

My mobile # has 602 area code and it doesn't add the "011" when I direct dial another number with the 602 area code, but when I dial 623 or 480, the "011" comes up.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Did you try the suggestion from post #4?

Yes. But no dice.

 

[tomkern]

Phoenix area too, tried both the above suggestions with no luck. Ultimately what I've ended up doing is going through my contacts and taking out any spaces and any "(" or ")" that were in my contacts.

That seems have made most it stop. At least I haven't had it happen since I cleaned up the contacts.


As for urbanspoon issue I've gotten around by just not using the built in call button.

Wow, what a pain in the tail that is going to be for me.

I have a corporate contact list and Exchange and everyone's contacts are linked together, so unless everyone on my list (hundreds) will go and take out spaces, extenions, etc, I'm screwed.

Anyone else having his problem?

i had the same issue when i had entered an extension after the 10 digit phone number without a "w" or "p". putting the W took care of the 011 issue. Now i just have to remember to take the phone from my face so that the screen comes alive.

Phone dials 011 in front of contact number

Finally figured this out.... This is due to how the number is input in gmail. If the number is in the gmail contacts as (XXX) XXX-XXXX xXXX it will dial 011 in front of the number. Change the number to be (XXX) XXX-XXXX,, XXX with two commas and a space and then the extension number and it will dial great.

I have an HTC Incredible also (2.2) and I use only gmail contacts. I have the same issue with the phone adding a 011 prefix when I press a contact in my call history. I have just now disabled the assisted dialing to see if that helps. Other than this, I love my droid. btw, I removed all formatting from the numbers that I was having issues with, but it did not help. None of my contacts have more than 10 digits (no extensions). I'll post again later if the issue is resolved.

same problem

so much for a "smart" dialer, eh? I tried using "Dailer One" and the same problem, addes the "011".

My contacts are listed w/ "+1 (XXX)XXX-XXXX. This was how BlackBerry need'em so it would auto dial when traveling outside the us.

anyone have a solution? this one is killing me!

If I am not mistaken, 011 is the prefix number to dial up the U.K.

 

[Laura345]

My Droid 3 added 011 in front of any phone numbers that I had notes in the field after the phone number such as "(212) 666-6666 building super" tried to call Morocco until I removed "building super."
