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.
My contacts don't show the +1..only when making phone calls. Is this due to me having my cellular network set to global and it auto adds this?

1 is the country code for USA. Your contacts dont have the 1 because you probably didnt put them in there. When you dont input a country code, it is assumed you are calling within the country.
The number 1 was originally used, way back when landlines were the rage,lol, as a way for the phone company to know that you were making a toll call, whether it be out of the subscribed local calling area in the same area code or calling to a different area code, as well as the country code for making an international call to the US.
This thread makes me feel old
I switched an LG G4 from AT&T to T-Mobile. Lost my delayed, no answer call forwarding setting. I can get the service codes to work such as check balance (#225#) and display IMEI, etc. But I can't get any of the call setting MMI codes to work.
Got the codes from here: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4041
But: **61*{phone number}**5# produces the error:
Call forwarding
Connection problem or invalid MMI code
I went into Mobile Network Settings and tried registering T-Mobile LTE, and T-mobile GSM networks and didn't make a difference. Everything else is working fine (like LTE data and service codes like I mentioned above.)
I'm guessing the AT&T doc on MMI codes is incorrect, at least for this model phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hi, I use *#*#4636#*#* dial code to set sim 1 network setting, but whats the code for sim 2?
I want to set sim 2 to LTE ONLY but there isnt this option in androids normal setting menu, it just has 4g preferred, but i want 4G/4G+ only.
anybody knows any way to do it?
sorry for my poor english

Google Voice + Call Waiting
---------------------------------------
Device Information
Device / Nexus 6 32GB US XT1103
Region / United States
Network / Sprint
Build / lineage_shamu-userdebut 9 PQ2A.190205.001 10eabd58f8
Baseband / MDM9625_104670.31.05.51R
Version / 16.0.20190307-nightly-shamu
Recovery / twrp 3.2.3-0
Application / Voice 2019.09.234885482
Application Author / Google
Symptom Description
Phone shows an incoming secondary call while actively engaged in a phone call
User can acknowledge the incoming call in attempt to switch phone calls
Phone will drop both calls after switching
Phone then loses data connectivity
You must power the phone on/off to regain connectivity or use the service menu to toggle the radio services on/off
Reproduction
Install Google Voice [rebranded as Voice by Google]
Proceed through the setup process
Make sure the option to use Google Voice for all outgoing calls is selected in the app settings
Place an outgoing call from your handset that connects and remains active
Place a second call to your handset so you receive a call waiting interrupt
Answer the call waiting interrupt
Watch both phone calls drop and the handset lose data connectivity
Considerations
Google Voice is available only in the United States
These symptoms can actually be reproduced on just about every other custom Oreo and Pie rom
This issue has likely gone unaddressed because most of the rom testing community remains international
Testers within the United States probably do not all make use of Google Voice
You will be unable to use Google Voice outside of this region because the service does not allow foreign forwarding numbers
Call waiting does work when calls are made and received without Google Voice
And no this is not a Google Voice application isolated issue because Google Voice works perfectly fine on stock roms for the Nexus 6
Google Voice also works fine on Pure Nexus which is based on Nougat 7.1
The installation of this rom was performed clean after a full wipe of all mount and storage points via twrp
