New Contact 425 area code

Why do the 8125, tilt, and tytn II all default to the 425 area code when adding a new contact and how do I change that?

I am pretty sure 425 is a Seattle area code (you know... the MS mothership). You can change the default area code by opening Contacts and selecting Menu-> Options... you will see a box to enter in the default area code.
Hope that helps.

awesome! thanks.

Alright have you tried in contacts then go to settings then hit more then display setting and you can pick how the phone show contacts phone or sim you can wave both showing. And have you checked to see if you go the right message centre number in the phone for you service provider you should be able to check the message centre setting on the web for your provider.

In the contact settings it shows only the phone option,i've checked that before.
And in the message settings it doesn't have the "Message center" option.
My Galaxy is a M110s,the Korean version.
I think it needs a fix or something.

nobody knows ?

[Q] Numbers instead of contact name in SMS

Whenever I receive a new SMS, only the contact number is shown.
I have to dial it up to see who it is.
How do I make it so the contact name will be shown instead of just the number?
Thank you.

That is weird. If you have the contact saved with that contact number, it should show. Is the format your numbers are saved in the same format that is received with the text messages? Also, is this with the stock app or with a 3rd party one?

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, it is the stock app.
Everything is stock on this device.
the numbers have a code (041 - for distance dial) before them, but this was not changed recently whereas the problem just recently started to happend.

Did you verify that Messaging -> Settings -> Only Mobile Numbers isn't checked?

I could not find such option, bassmadrigal.

You can try clearing the data for the messaging app found in Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Messaging
This *shouldn't* wipe your text messages (they should be stored in a different area), but it probably wouldn't hurt to back them up beforehand. I use SMS Backup and Restore found on the market.

How to check SMS centre number

I am unable to send texts from my device. I thought of checking the SMSC but can't find it anywhere.

Send a snap of error received while sending sms.
Check with local operator too if hadn't.
You can find the option in Settings > Messages > Sms centre number.

Question How to get +1 to stop showing up on phone numbers from text messages.

I am having a interesting issue with my phone that I cannot figure out. When I receive a text message the system adds a +1 to the start of the phone number it is coming from, I am using the Samsung Messages application but this does the same thing apparently with the Google SMS app and the Verizon messenger app (as I have\ tried these as well), this only happens with a text and if I get a phone call or look in the address book no numbers have a +1.
The reason this is an issue is because my car imports my phonebook as it appears in the contacts and when I get a text it comes up as Unknown Caller because of the added +1 but phone calls do not have the +1 so they show up just fine.
While working on this I have discovered that if I go to the text by going to my contacts then clicking on the persons name it will remove the +1 and it will stay removed as I text them but the second I get texted back the +1 is added. I called Verizon eventually and was told reset settings, reset network settings, turn off assisted dialing. None of these work and there next solution was to factory reset, I don't think this will help because it isn't just my phone but my wife and son who also got the same phone have the same thing happen.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it. I have been through all the phone and dev settings looking for something. I cannot find any other threads online for this except for a couple from AT&T users from different samsung phones years ago with no answer. Previous to this we were using Note 9's and did not have this issue. Any help is appreciated.
edit: The phone is not rooted or modded and is on Android 11 One UI 3.1, sorry forgot to add that.

I think it's under: Settings -> Call Settings -> Other call settings -> Roaming assistance

That is assisted dialing I turned off already and it didn't affect it. It's also just on text messages phone functions don't have this happen for some reason.

The +1 is your coumtry code prefix (USA).
While you can change this in your messaging app you can't change it from eveyone else's phone.
From using it in your car radio might be somethng in your car settings or else in your contact list add the +1 to all your contacts.

I understand that the +1 is the country code.
It isn't from other people's phones it is the way the Ultra is handling the information when it comes to text messaging. I did the following test. I removed my son as a contact in my phone and called my phone from his. The phone number shows up as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I then sent a text message to myself from his phone while he still was not in my contacts. I have 3 different text applications on my phone right now for testing purposes (default Samsung, Google's SMS app, and Verizon Messeages) and all 3 shows the phone number as +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
The car isn't adding the the +1 to contacts, when my phonebook syncs to the car and I go into it the phonebook on my cars display they show the same as in my contacts "Contacts Name" (xxx) xxx-xxxx but when a text comes in it shows Unknown +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
The issue solely lies with text messages being received on the S21 Ultra as this happens when people on Apple phones or Android phones (multiple brands) text me.

In regards to text messaging in general, i live not far from you ( about 9500 miles ) and I have a different device then yours. Receiving text messages from someone in my contacts list shows up contact name. Receiving other text message not in my contact list will show as country code and phone number. There are exceptions to this in regards to texts from government agencies and google which will show up who are not in my contacts list. I think texts messaging work around the international standard ie: country code + phone number while phone calls may not (unless making international calls). So i don't think it's device specific as it more to do with the networks that you connect to.
In regards to talking to you car ( text wise ) i may be of little help as i don't have a android 11 device and a car to talk to.
Since your note 9 works, and as far as i know latest version is android 10, it could be an issue with android 11. From your test using your son's phone have tried to add the +1 to his number to your phone and see if it's make a difference.
