International Dialing

[Giggity]

I have an HTC Incredible.  I am trying to dial a colleague in the UK and the number that is in my phone is +44....  When entered this way, the call routes to some Verizon message saying that the number has been disconnected.  When I change the +44 to a 00144, the call works fine.  Since I have an address book full of International contacts that are stored in the schema of +<CountryCode>, how do I get my phone to translate the + character as 011?  If it is not possible to set this in the phone, is there an app that converts the phone numbers for you?

That does not work...I get a Verizon wireless recording that says I cannot complete call as dialed...

I have provided some information below that may help.

The dialing patterns for calling to or from the U.K. are as follows:

From the U.S. to the U.K. 011-44-(then dial the number)

From within the U.K to a local number in the U.K dial  (00) or 44 (then dial the number)

From the U.K back to the U.S.  (00) or 1 (then the area code and number)

The format you have your contacts saved in currently (+ CountyCode) would be if you were dialing the numbers while outside of the U.S. I have provided some steps below that may help.

-Select Menu

-Select Settings

-Select Call

-Select Assisted dialing

-Select Reference Country (i.e. United Kingdom)
