Is this possible without actually changing my area code, I just moved to the other coast and get annoyed by having to dial an area code every time I dial a local number, but for the past few years I've had the same phone number and don't want to change and lose all my old contacts... And yes I'm aware I can change it in the text menu but I'm talking about phone calls only, not texts.. Thanks..
I just add area codes to the phone numbers of all my contacts if you call local it don't matter if you add area code so that works for me

Is there a program out there that can recognise the area code of an incoming call (for a telephone number that isn't in your contacts list) and tell you where the call is coming from? I guess it would simply a matter of having a small database of all the UK (or whichever country you were interested in) area codes and taking the first five digits of the incoming call and matching it to the area code.
Such a program would be quite useful especially when you get a missed call from a number you don't recognise. If you new which town the call came from, you might be able to guess who it was (obviously this system wouldn't work for all calls, blocked or mobile numbers for example wouldn't work).
Any programs out there? If not anyone care to make one
good idea!
yeah that would be a great program!! Anyone??
I was in a VZ store the other day and started to play around with the Touch Pro and noticed it had something my Fuze was missing - assisted dialing. Look at the photos and you'll see it is a setting in the phone menu and you can see the setting options as well. If enabled (I presume) you no longer need to dial the area code if you are just calling within your area code. It does not appear to be a registry tweak (unless it uses an odd name). Any ideas on how to enable this? It's really not a big deal but now that I realize it's something I'm missing I want it Why should I press 3 extra digits? Anyway, phones from 2000 could do this...we have to be able to do it...
If I'm dialing in my home area I don't have use area code either. I have Fuze on AT&T.
i tried it on mine and i just get this annoying AT&T recording telling me that to place a call from this area code I need to type in an area code...it could also be that I'm in NYC and they changed the codes locally so that all calls within NYC require an area code (even local calls to the same area code). But if assisted dialing does nothing then why would the VZ TP have it and what would it do? I presume it auto-inserts the prefix for you....
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. we use 10 digit dialing where I live and everytime a dial a number in the form of ***-***-**** it places a 1 in the front. No big deal for local calls but to dial a number in another nearby city here costs me nothing unless I dial the 1. Than it's long distance.
I've checked area code everywhere I can but can't figure out what's causing it.
Any ideas?
I've been frustrated with this problem since day one, and no ROM has a fix... I've set the area code, put contacts numbers in (###) ###-#### form, ###-#### form (which works with dialing but SMS won't work right), and ########## form, BUT NONE WILL LET ME DIAL THE NUMBER WITHOUT AN AREA CODE AND MATCH A CONTACT WITH IT!! If I dial someone's number WITH the area code, it matches a contact. With the area code, nothing gets matched!!!!!!! IS THERE A FIX TO THIS
A while back I must have done something to switch my default voicemail password to my Google Voice number. I'm not able to set up GVoice to be my default mailbox, and more importantly, I'm not able to access the default AT&T mailbox, so I've got a pesky icon in my notification area, and the only number it has stored for VM is my Gvoice number, which doesn't receive any voicemail.
I need the default number that AT&T mailboxes use, so I can press and hold "1" and it won't dial Gvoice.
Your voicemail number is going to be different depending on where you live. It will more often have the same area code that you use etc. Of course you can always access your voicemail by calling your own number and then pressing the * or # key on your phone (cant remember which one, usually the * key). Then it will ask you to put in your information, password in the case. That is it, you have your voicemail. (doesnt everyone know this? At one point that was the only way you could even access your voicemails back in the day)
To get your VM number for the area you live in you need to call customer care. There isn't a default number to call. It uses your service area to provide the correct number. You should actually be able to reset your VM settings in the phones settings (in some cases) and this will put the default number back in place. Of course if you have been flashing your phone that might not be the case always.
