Are my calls long distance????

Question for those who have the TyTN II which originated from overseas (asia)
My incoming calls all have a "+1" in front of them... my guess is that since the phone still thinks its in Taiwan... it thinks these are long distance calls? Are these actually long distance calls and would I get charged for this?
I am from Canada and there is no selection for it in the system setup...
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Ok Let me try and recall how this works back from when I was a CSR for a Cell company.
At least in the US when you dial 555-555-5555 It automagically adds the +1.
That's just the country code.
Now HOW you dial a number means nothing It just routes your call, then the billing system records the calls. (Not and in Cassette Tape record but Puts it to your account) then the billing system compares the info of the call (where to, where from, how long) to your plan.
Like if you need to dial a 1 on a land line you don't have to on a cell phone because they are automagically adding the one, you just can't see it on the phone.
So by it showing you the +1 you won't be charged for Long Distance because you dial +1-555-555-5555 but because your Phone Plan Lacks that.
Hope that clears it up

That's just displaying the country code. I'm sure you using a Rogers or similar SIM card & the phone is using local towers, so there is NO WAY the phone can think it's anywhere. SIM determines the provider, cell towers used determine location.

cool thanks for the clarification

It doesn't always add the 1. Sometimes I've tried to dial a number and I get the "You need to dial a 1 or a zero before making this call" message. I've given up on 7 digit dialing with the cell as well. That rarely works anymore. I have to be in the same area as the exchange I'm dialing, and even then it doesn't always work. In the old days I could 7 digit dial any local number (Local to my cell #) no matter where I was as long as I was not roaming on another carrier's tower. Now even on ATT towers it often forces me to dial the 1 + area code.

Oh wow 7 digit dialing.... We've been forced to dial 10 digits for 10 years now... I had forgotten about 7 digits.
Let me rephrase then... Most of the time it will add the 1 or +1, but depending on your Cell Service Provider if you call international you have to manually add +(country code) (number).

when roaming and calling a guy just beside one it's a long distance call
the sim is reg'd in a country and all calls outside that country are long distance
dont matter if one call the person beside one in another country
this may vary but if i'm outside of my country and somebody call me i pay for the call from the border and to where i'm located

I've been 10-digit dialing since 1992 here in Philadelphia. I still have the magnet that Bell Atlantic sent out to everyone's house telling them to add the (215) in front.

T-mobile voice call and sms issue

I'm having issues with calls and texts on T-mobile since this morning. Whenever I place a call the phone sometimes takes 10 seconds to ring, rarely it'll go straight to voicemail, and more often the call won't go through at all, the call will just drop.
If I myself end the call I lose any sort of connection, no 2g no 3g no LTE; I checked settings/about/network and Cellular Network Type gets stuck on UMTS. When this happens I can't call nor can I send messages, the redundant fix that I have to do to fix LTE and get messages working again is to go into: settings/mobile data/network operators and register automatically again, this always gives me LTE and messaging back, and sometimes calls, sometimes.
On the other end, when people call me, I noticed that the phone will go into 4g or H which is the same thing I believe. However, calls don't come through, it either goes straight to voicemail or it'll ring once or twice then go straight to voicemail. Also when it rings on their end, I can't hear it on my end, phone is silent.
This has happened on 4 roms Eragon, NusenSeven, Stock GP Edition and Insert Coin,
The phone is rooted and s-off
HBoot: 161
7.19.401.2
If anyone has the same issue or know a fix, please let me know, it's getting a tad bit annoying.
Hoping It could be the sim card, Thank you, much appreciated
Edit: Apparently T-Mobile was having issues in my area. Surprised it was out for 3 days.

Advanced Calling Saves Battery but causes problems

I work for a firm with an international calling card I use to make overseas calls, so many of my calls from my cell have commas with speed dialing account numbers, etc... therefore the phone numbers end up being about 44 digits (to call India for example). This has come in very handy. However, if I have Advanced Calling turned on, for many of those stored phone numbers in my phone, for almost all of them my phone will dial the number but nothing after the first comma. If I have several commas in a row (each of which means a 1 second delay), the SOMETIMES the phone will recognize there are additional numbers to dial and will continue on. Therefore to reliably be able to make these calls, I have to turn OFF advanced calling altogether, or else the calls will not work on my phone. Has anyone else run into this issue and what did they do to get around this issue to be able to continue to use advanced calling to save the battery?

Nobody?

Try the letter p instead of a comma.

Thanks for the tip but the keyboards won't let me put any letters in there. I tried to copy and paste letters into there but the paste operation doesn't work...

Anybody have any ideas? Nothing?

A little help please

Hey guys so I am new to the forums and I am having an issue. I am on the latest developer preview and it is rooted but when I call out I have no dial tone and I can't hear anything. The permissions are all set for the dialer and contacts and when I am off Wi-Fi I do have LTE signal and my texts to come through and said but the dial tone for calling. If anyone can help me that would be amazing. I am on the Verizon network in the United States in case anyone was wondering

Honestly I am a bit confused.
There isn't any Dial Tone, when a cell phone is used. You dial the number, or select the contact, you wish to call and tap the Call or Send button.
If, however, you are talking about the ring out tone that is heard when you are calling someone, then that is a somewhat common problem, that happens occasionally. It is usually caused by the cellular connection being weak between and the person who are calling.

I actually fixed this by flashing just the radio image through TWRP and just to make sure I didn't have any freezes or boot loops I reflash the bootloader as well

Signal drop upon placing call - XT1095 on H2O

I recently changed to H2O, which is an AT&T reseller for those who are unfamiliar, and I'm having a very peculiar problem.
When I go to make a call, as soon as I tap the green button to make the call, sometimes my signal drops to 0 bars and I can't make the call. Sometimes this happens repeatedly and it's impossible to call anyone. But sometimes the call will go through after the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th try. However, sometimes it drops to emergency calls only after the call fails, or sometimes it drops to no service.
Additionally, when I go to change the conditional call forwarding under dialer - settings - calls - call forwarding, as soon as I tap call forwarding, the signal bars vanish and I get a call settings error. This happens almost all of the time. And again, sometimes it will drop to emergency calls only, or a several times I've had it drop to no service.
When I give up trying to make a call or change call forwarding settings, the signal strength will return after a minute or so, which is currently fluxuating around -112 dBm 28 asu, -116 dBm 24 asu, 110 dBm 30 asu. Not sure what any of that means though.
Frequently, incoming calls do not reach my phone. Often I'll get a text message asking me why I'm not answering my phone, but it never rang. There's no indication that my phone was out of service as there is always at least one bar.
I can send text messages with no problem at all. My data also works just fine. In fact, one of my friends gave up calling my phone number and instead calls me on WhatsApp because that's the only way he can get a hold of me. He would call my number, have it fail, and then immediately call me on WhatsApp and that goes through because my data doesn't usually have any issues.
I've tried changing APN settings according to different information I got from H2O. I've tried changing the preferred network type to 3G and 2G. Changing to 2G seems to help my ability to make calls, or maybe it just seemed that way. I've contacted H2O numerous times about it. They opened multiple tickets on it and finally said that there's no problem on their end getting service on that sim card. I sorta verified this because the sim card doesn't display this problem in my 1st gen Moto X, an XT1053.
Two other people in my house are on the AT&T network, one on Cricket with a Galaxy S6 (G920AZ), and one on H2O with a Galaxy S3 (T999) and they never have any issues here at home or elsewhere.
My phone is an XT1095 pure edition. I run stock 6.0, 24.11.18.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US, kernel 3.4.42-g389e46b, rooted, TWRP, with no apps that modify call behavior except Google Voice which is set to never use GV to make calls. This phone worked flawlessly on several different T-Mobile resellers. I'm about to switch back to another T-Mobile reseller but I thought I'd post here about this strange issue first because I don't want to always be limited to the T-Mobile network.
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated.
