Plus Symbol in front of Number?

[MystikEkoez]

I've jailbroken and unlocked a couple of 1.1.3 OTB iPhones, but one of my latest ones running T-Mobile has a + in front of the number while receiving calls. None of the other phones running T-Mobile have this "problem". It may be an aesthetic issue, but I'm wondering why it's doing this and how can I fix it? Basically a number shows up as "+1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx".

The + indicates its a National (like 800 numbers) or International phone number.

Yeah, but it's a local call. :P

Now that's odd. Same area code?

[MystikEkoez]

Yep. You're as surprised as I was.

Im bring this post back. I am having the same trouble, I am jailbroken on 3G running 3.1.2 but i basically have "+1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx" when a number shows up when im SMS'g i have an app that reads messages out loud but +1 keeps it from reading the name of contact and reads the number. Is there a way to turn off the + in front of the 1 and just show "1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx"?

Thanks

Did you check under general settings-international-region format-United States? Also check the under settings-phone-international assist... You can turn it off. That may correct the problem.

Thanks for reply,
I had already set those and no luck. international assist is off and my format in united states. Anyother ideas.

wanted to follow up as i did more looking into it. I found that only my SMS messages are showing the + in front of the number and not when i get a call or contact list. But need to find a way to disable that in SMS

All of my entries in my contact list are entered in the +XXXXXXXXXX format. I wonder if this may help?

I don't know about receiving the + on the display but in your contact list using the + is very useful. If you input numbers with the plus and country code it takes care of the dial codes for international travelling eg +1 xxx xxx xxxx knows its a US number and will dial correctly no matter which country you are in +44 xxx xxx etc knows its a UK number and does the same thing.
