Strip the country code on incoming local calls?

I'm using a SoftBank X01HT, with the latest HTC WM5 rom. I've noticed that all incoming calls, even local show a +1 at the beginning... the Canadian country code. When trying to return calls, I've had to add these numbers to my address book and then remove the +1, and then dial. Is there any way to setup the phone so it doesn't show the +1?
Thanks.
Any ideas?
I think you may dial with the +1 but you won't get charged as international call (if you are in the +1 zone). Try a number and see if you get charged.

This is per the GSM standard. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, GSM network operators have to support +CountryCode-AreaCode-Number format, even for local calls. Leave your contacts in this format, then you don't have to make any changes when/if you travel to another country. You will not be charged long distance if it is a local call, even if you use this format.

If you used the search function this has already been addressed, and it is the standard dialling code for the US.
Sorry, I should elaborate. When returning calls that came from +1 (local calls), it refuses to connect until I redial without the +1. This is the correct calling code for both Canada and the US.
edit: I'm on Rogers Pay as You Go, and the provider shows as "UMTS Rogers". I haven't done anything special to make the phone work, I just put my SIM in.

How are you calling?? Via cellular or VoIP?? (both options are available now on WM6)

If you are using standard GSM cellular to make your calls rather than VoIP, having +1 at the start of the number should work when you attempt to call. It works for me, I do it every day. I am not using Pay as you Go, but that shouldn't make a difference, I would have thought.

Yes exactly, however using the VoIP component of WM6 the + part of the intl dialling code isnt recognised correctly, this might be the issue possibly if using PTT aswell??

Action is being taken on this
Mike
Thanks for that ban I see how it was extremely necessary. Good luck on your future backseat moderating endeavors.
Carrying on: it seems my problem isn't the '1', but the '+'. All incoming calls show a +1, if I dial a number with a 1, it goes through fine, but if I dial a number with +1 it immediately ends the call. I don't think I'm using any voip stuff, as I'm running WM5. Is there any way to strip the + part?

First, Moderation is often "backseat". There are only a few Mods and over 80,000 active members. In any case I don't go looking for problems, I go looking to help people with questions. If I spot something (usually Spam, or moving posts around) or a member makes a request for action then it is dealt with by the Mod or referred to the Admins. In your case it was a bit of both. In your case it was nothing to do with your posts, but the method of signing on.
Well before you get banned again perhaps you'd like to explain to the rest of us who like to know at least a little about the person we are speaking to, why this is a good idea:
http://www.bugmenot.com/
At a time when we are cautious about who comes and goes on this site (following our "situation" with M$) it does not help to know that you could in fact be 1 of several hundred using the name bugmenot. It also seems so utterly pointless since you are not required to publically display any info you do not wish to - so why not register the way you are supposed to?
Since everyones IP address is logged anyway I cannot see this being a privacy thing just an I can't be bothered registering thing!!
It might surprise you to know that many folks here are proud to be members and proud to have a unique identity. Your questions seem very reasonable as do the posts you make - at least so far as we know you to be one person and not one of many logging in using your sign-in details. I tried signing in the other day with one of the bugmenot passwords and yes I got on. It does not take much imagination to realise why we cannot allow open names/passwords to persist - but I would be interested to hear your side.
Mike
Why would I get banned again?
Bugmenot is a good solution for people who don't feel like juggling around hundreds of internet identities on various forums. With the Firefox extension, I can visit any website, and when prompted to login I just right click and choose to login with a public account. On here, I needed an account to search the forums and download attachments. When I needed to post a thread, I decided against making a new account since I was already cookied and able to post anyway.
By backseat moderating, I was not referring to an instance of someone reporting a post against forum rules or any legitimate reason where a moderator would be needed. I was referring to Applestar order to close the account and encouragement to limit posting ability for new accounts. I did read the forum rules before posting, and nowhere was it mentioned that account sharing or using public accounts is against any rules.
"Newbie" posts are a genuine concern on every forum, but limiting posting ability to new accounts is a horrible solution that will only delay people from post spamming or making stupid threads. A better solution is to simply make as much information available to people without requiring them to register an account. This site is a shining example of that; the wiki is full of an enormous amount of information, links to resources, and is easily searchable. A good improvement to the forums would be to enable searching and file attachment downloads for non members. If someone has come here to get a few files and to find a bit of information on their phone, forcing them to register an account is only encouraging them to post and to be a member of this community. And this being a developer community, is there really any need to encourage the types of people who came for files to have accounts?
Your Microsoft concern is completely invalid. I'd be embarrassed for Microsoft if they thought using a public account was a good method if infiltrating a community like this. They likely have people watching over these forums, and I can guarantee you they're not here on a public account or with any sort of Microsoft related name/profile.
You're right: it's absolutely an "I can't be bothered registering" thing. But in addition to that, I have nothing to contribute here. I wouldn't want to fall into the category of the hundreds of users you already have who have hundreds of posts all consisting of "thanks" or really ridiculous questions that were answered already.
Well, some good points IMHO. However the general principal is the subject of Admin consideration. I am not entirely convinced the "public account" idea is a good one given that not everyone is as sensible as you - yes if everyone were users of common sense I believe it could work well for the reasons you give, but open account information that becomes commonly known on the net could encourage the "lunatic fringe" to post brainless rubbish.
So I will take the Pontius Pilate approach- since it's Easter and start washing my hands! (Guess which part you get!)

thats funny stuff right there...
But maybe there is a simple solution to all of this and i have taken this suggestion to the admin.. But i think maybe we should see about granting bugmenot an account that does not have posting rights. Then people can use that account to download files. If people want support then they should register their own account... sounds simple enough to me

An interesting proposal. It would mean this particular "bugmenot" would have to register properly though cos he/she likes to make posts.
Mike
So, going back to the thread topic. Any ideas? I'm still unable to return any incoming calls because of the plus (+) symbol in front of the numbers. Is anyone else here on Rogers pay as you go? Do incoming calls show a "+" for anyone else?

It may be the standard but they don't HAVE to support it unfortunately - Softbank in Japan does not support +country code dialing and I believe there are a couple other networks in Taiwan or Korea that are the same. Pisses me off too because I have to make separate addressbook entries for when I'm inside Japan and outside Japan.
Anyone know of any utility that can automatically add or remove digits when dialing? The Nokia 6681 smartphone had a number prefix feature that worked really well.
You should request that they strip these digits.

If your telecom provider doesn't support it then they should strip these digits. I am a Central Office Tech and this does not take a genius to remove preceding digits. So call them up and question their technical abilities! WHAT!!!

Heres how to install:
1. go here to register:
https://one.phonefusion.com/signup.php
click on the residential tab.
2. Get the app here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/274146939/PF_VMPLUS_Windows_Current.cab.html
(this is free but difficult to find, at least it was for me.)
3. Install the cab to the sdcard (not to the internal memory. voicemails will eat up space.)
4. open the Phonefusion app and go to option>settings>Activate FVM+
5. Give it a few seconds and let it do its thing and then it should work.
Well, it's not free anymore. =/

youmail.com
youmail.com is just GR8!!! Try it, you can set filters, block any number you want, even set "recordings" of your choice to any number that calls you. Much better than Fusion and anything else. Did i say ; it is FREE??
does any one know of a free visual voicemail service in the uk???
That youmail looks great but is only for us and canada.

This is not a Visual Voicemail Application as much as a service + Website. The Website that would display the Voicemail messages does not load correctly on my Wizard with TNT (19199.1.0.0).
YouMail although a good solution for some does not meet the needs of those looking for an app.
Yeah I found a coupon code on Retail Me Not to make the Individual plan free (Phone Fusion at Retail Me Not). However, the fact remains, that it's a service much like (read: exactly like) Google Voice and not an app (only).
Try this link http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/. I signed up for a free account although i havent fully tested it on the app myself.
Hope this helps.
These look interesting. I'm using mVisualVoicemail (http://www.motionapps.com/product/mvisualvoicemail/) which of course requires your voicemail to be forwarded to an email account first. If you can't do that, this program is useless.
Is there any way in WM6.1 or WM6.5 to make all the Voicemail notifications and links launch a program instead of dialing voicemail? Ever since I started using visual voicemail, I've come to notice how often I get notifications and convenient links to dial my voicemail, and I just wish I could set it to launch mVisualVoicemail instead.
Clearing up confusion
I dont know about you guys but just to clarify:
PhoneFusion is free. PhoneFusion uses an app. PhoneFusion did not assign me a new number. PhoneFusion has, as best I can tell, just replaced my Tmo voicemail.
I signed up online with no money given or agreed to. I downloaded the app given a link that was forwarded by text when I signed up. The app is just like a carrier's vvm except it loads a little slower. It loads your contacts automatically at every start, which is the small slow part.
Ive had youmail before on my old Blackberry (don't stone me) and although there are apps for some phones, it is no better or worse than Phonefusion besides the subcscriber login page online... which I would think we would never want to use day to day anyway.
All in all I can give PF a recommend. Check it out. The cool part (believe me with all the crap i went through to get youmail to work) is that you just push ACTIVATE and it changes all your settings to forward your calls.
****Sprint users.... trust me stay away. Your screwed on VVM. YouMail costed me 30 a month bc sprint charges for every forwarded call.
I think i'll stick with youmail. Hopefully they'll come up with a windows mobile app for this.
Sprint users can use PhoneFusion without charge. You just have to call up and ask for call forwarding on no answer which is free. Regular call forwarding "unconditional call forwarding" costs you $0.20 per call.
When I called up they told me it would cost $0.20, I told them it should not, only unconditional does, and they went back and told me I was correct.
I'm using PhoneFusion as above today and it seems to be pretty decent and the app works well. Whether I will miss the easy click and you're in voicemail with tf3d, I'm not sure yet
I'm a TP2 user...
Do you find that the 'new voicemail' icon appears at the top of the screen (indicating there's a new message waiting) when using Phone Fusion? (I'm not getting that, though it works otherwise). I'm on TMO USA (but I would have thought this was independent of carrier)
-Steve
PS Apologies - posted same question on another thread last week, but got no reply - thought this might be a thread where I could find someone using PF VVM...
Well, I thought I would share my experiences with this app. I was wanting to get some VVM on my Tilt2, so I downloaded this app based upon this thread. Once I realized it was implementing some call forwarding, I kinda put the brakes on finishing the install.
Then I started having people report there was an odd disconnect error instead of going to my voicemail. Seems it partially setup the call forwarding, but since I did not completely install it it wrecked my regualr voicemail.
Anyway, I think I have it sorted out. I had to go intot he setup again, and 'Disable' the VVM. Now, when installing there was a clear warning about deactivating the service prior to any installation, but since I never completely installed I thought I was safe.
Be carefull. - Kevin

Hey Kev...you know you can go into "phone" under personal settings, and change your forwarding settings from there? It just reads your current settings from the network, and lets you change and update them from your phone...you can check there to make sure they all got put back the way they should

[GUIDE] Obtain WP Activation Code Via Chat With IMEI Generator

Yes, here is yet another guide to obtaining a WP7/8 activation code from Microsoft... with an added advantage!
I have helped a handful of people from around the world on XDA to obtain codes successfully using the chat URL below and using a genuine HTC HD7 IMEI code created with my IMEI generator tool. With the advantage of a genuine IMEI code Microsoft have no reason to say no!
prerequisites:
You have a Windows Live account (you will need this for Windows Phone anyway)
You have downloaded my IMEI generator from here (mirror), run it, and hit generate for your code!
You have an ice cold beer to hand for celebratory purposes
1.) Log on to Microsoft Live Chat here. Click on 'Chat' and log in with your Live ID
2.) You will be asked for a few details before an agent connects and starts to chat including phone model. As far as Microsoft are concerned, you own a HTC HD7 and can't access the Marketplace or use emails. I recommend not being too 'tech-savvy' to aid your case as the helpless (Microsoft) customer and remember, you ARE the customer and they are there to help you
3.) Soon an agent will respond and They will ask you for a few more details such as network operator and for the IMEI code of the handset. Make sure you have the IMEI from my generator to hand. See the conversation from when I activated my first Windows Phone below for reference. This was also using a code made by my generator
4.) Crack that beer open as the Microsoft agent replies with your Windows Phone Activation Code
Here is the chat conversation from when I obtained my code. I play Emeth, a helpless, innocent customer, devastated by my second-hand HD7 which will not let me use Live Services. I am being attended to by the very helpful 'Bill G' at Microsoft:
Microsoft Chat; said:
Privacy Statement
You are now chatting with 'Bill G.'.
Bill G.:Hello , my name is Bill G. with Microsoft Support. Please give me a few moments as I review the information you've submitted.
(Before the chat started I filled out a form with a brief description of my issue where I stated my HD7 cannot access the marketplace)
Bill G.:Thank you for waiting, Emeth. How are you today? I can immediately give you the activation code you need.
(Really? That easy?)
Emeth:I'm great thanks. Thank you, that would be very helpful
Bill G.:Sure! I just need a few info about the phone: the mobile operator and the IMEI, please. (You can see the IMEI by typing *#06#).
Emeth:I am using my old Vodafone SIM (this did not come with the phone) but I do not have the phone with me. I have a product code on the receipt, may this be it? 352811042776595
(Of course this is it. I just pasted it from my keygen)
Bill G.:Thank you Jeff. Your activation code is: DOWNL-OADMY-KEYGE-NANDG-ETURS. I suggest you to keep it for the future.
(Bingo. Thank you Bill)
Bill G.:Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Emeth:That's great, thank you very much for your help.
Bill G.:Sure. Thanks to you, Emeth. To end your chat session please click the

I said that the model was a nokia lumia 900 and I told him my phone imei htc hd2 and got the activation code, hahahaha
Awesome...thanks for that, I didn't realise I needed a HD7 code so I gave them the real HD2 one last time and it wouldn't activate. But using a generated code work straight away, thanks!
Stupid question...but you can re-use the same code after reflashing your phone right?

yeayyy it worked like a charm...thank you
Cool.. It works like a charm.. Thanks for the suggestion..
Thanks
I have to say a BIG thank you for helping me out. I have battled this problem like forever and I finally recieved the codes through Chat with someone in Microsoft. However, the challenge I now face is with the SET UP ACCOUNT. I am told " You've reached the maximum number of setup accounts allowed for a windows phone. Contact a support person or my service provider to help me. What can i do?

Yes, here is yet another guide to obtaining a WP7/8 activation code from Microsoft... with an added advantage!
I have helped a handful of people from around the world on XDA to obtain codes successfully using the chat URL below and using a genuine HTC HD7 IMEI code created with my IMEI generator tool. With the advantage of a genuine IMEI code Microsoft have no reason to say no!
prerequisites:
You have a Windows Live account (you will need this for Windows Phone anyway)
You have downloaded my IMEI generator from here, run it, and hit generate for your code!
You have an ice cold beer to hand for celebratory purposes
1.) Log on to Microsoft Live Chat here. Click on 'Chat' and log in with your Live ID
2.) You will be asked for a few details before an agent connects and starts to chat including phone model. As far as Microsoft are concerned, you own a HTC HD7 and can't access the Marketplace or use emails. I recommend not being too 'tech-savvy' to aid your case as the helpless (Microsoft) customer and remember, you ARE the customer and they are there to help you
3.) Soon an agent will respond and They will ask you for a few more details such as network operator and for the IMEI code of the handset. Make sure you have the IMEI from my generator to hand. See the conversation from when I activated my first Windows Phone below for reference. This was also using a code made by my generator
4.) Crack that beer open as the Microsoft agent replies with your Windows Phone Activation Code
Here is the chat conversation from when I obtained my code. I play Emeth, a helpless, innocent customer, devastated by my second-hand HD7 which will not let me use Live Services. I am being attended to by the very helpful 'Bill G' at Microsoft:
Hope this helps!

look in my install tutorial for this file (my signature)
Hello guys, about the activation via live chat,i can't sign in with my hotmail account which is new created. When i try on web page, there is no problem but on the live chat link,i can't. it want username password and domain info. For the hotmail account what should i type for domain field? Another way, i can't find imei genarator.
New imei gen download link!
Sorry I haven't been around for a while, I've been meddling with an Xperia play - it has a gamepad! :good:
Anyway, I see a few of you are having trouble as the IMEI gen thread was removed by XDA. Please find the link on the first page updated to an external host along with a mirror.
Thanks to dxdy for providing alternate hosting and keeping the file available!

Google voice + VoIP + Data only plan

Good afternoon and forgive me if this question has been answered. My ultimate goal is to pay $40/ month for 4 gigs of data w/ no voice/text plan. By configuring Google Voice to work on VoIP, I can call nation wide as well as still send/receive SMS all with my Google Voice number. Once I have my device setup with data only, what do I need to do to achieve this?
Also, my device isn't rooted yet but I plan on doing so and putting the google play s4 rom on it. If that matters..

Its been a while since I've last used Google Voice, but to my knowledge the most recent update uses the cellular network to send text messages. I would imagine this would also effect voice calls.
I've dabbled with voip over cellular, to make it work well, you really need to have lte. Lte will prioritize SIP traffic, making calls clear, hspa+ or anything slower will cause hiccups.
Unless you don't ever plan to leave lte service area, keep your voice plan.

Yes, it can be done. That's my current setup. I don't even have a SIM card on my phone, but use WiFi (Wireless hotspot). I use Google Voice for outgoing and incoming calls and SMS with an app. No root needed.
I'm not sure if posting this info here is against the rules, but since it will answer your question directly, and I am not affiliated with the developer in any way, I thought I'll give you the info. The app is called GrooveIP. I have the paid version, but apparently they released a free version as well, which was not available when I first discovered the app. I'm sure there are other apps for this as well.
The problem with this setup is that you need to have a strong data connection wherever you go for it to work as a voice plan replacement. You can get away with SMS on a relatively slow connection (decent EDGE or GPRS) but you need solid 4G or fast 3G on to get decent voice. At least that has been my experience.
Try it out for yourself. It will depend on where you live / travel / commute, so give it a shot and let us know how it worked for you. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much! Will check it out and post results
Google voice does sms over wifi with no problem. It does not do mms though.

Ended up rooting and installing the Google Play ROM which is my favorite interface and also allows SIP configuring. I'll be using GrooveIP along with Google Voice to turn my device(s) into VoIP. Thanks for all the quick replies!
I'll just leave this here...

exchange messages without Internet, help!

Hi everyone,
We just published a new version of ringtext messenger
LINK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lk.ringtext
We are currently looking for users who can test and give us feedback regarding marketing and distribution. All help and feedback greatly appreciated!
How does ringtext work?
ringtext uses underlying "missed calls" technology to send and receive messages. Unlike similar apps (Whatsapp, WeChat, Viber and Line) you don't need WIFI or 3G, 4G mobile internet to exchange messages. Instead ringtext does a "Missed Call" to a regular (mobile) phone, to deliver your message. Missed calls are Worldwide totally free of all charges!

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
FEATURES:
- small size app (1.25MB) and register (email address for password recovery) within 10 seconds
- Always exchange text messages (doesn't matter anymore if your online or offline)
- 100% free, no charge, direct or hidden, to download or use this App, no pop-up ads
- if using underlying "missed calls" no data-plan needed, and no provider (call, setup or connection) costs!
- benefits are huge for kids without mobile data, backpackers out of data coverage, as well as international business travellers seeking to avoid roaming costs
Example using ringtext
John starts to call Rohan and quickly disconnects the call just after hearing the first ring tone to avoid (setup or call) costs. Rohan will notice this as a "missed call" from John, but understands his "free message". This is commonly used by millions of people as a way of communicating pre-agreed messages for free, because a missed call (unanswered call) is totally free of charges. In ringtext we use this missed call technique and made it look as visible messages. You get 100 customisable messages specific for offline use and exchange these messages all over the world with a 100% free missed call. When ringtext users reply, receivers get the message in the same conversation screen.
Why is ringtext free?
We think that If Your App Isn't Free, Another One Will Be. We developed ringtext messenger for testing our offline exchange technique in other industries, and could make some money there. The missed Call technology is old, but not old fashioned we learn everyday from using it. There are lots of applications and our test-users liked it very much and asked us to make ringtext publicly available for daily use. We accepted the challenge, made a cool blue interface, and here it is. There is no charge, direct or hidden, to download or use this App. The ringtext messenger App does not install any spy-ware or ad-ware along with it. It does not populate user's screen with pop-up ads. We know the App’s benefits are huge for many audiences, including kids without mobile data, backpackers out of data coverage, as well as international business travellers seeking to avoid roaming costs
Again, looking for your comments, questions, tips and contribution for the ringtext translation in your language. Let's make ringtext available to everyone in the world!
Thanks, igo
