can't send/receive international text

I'm a Soldier stationed in Honduras but temporarily deployed to Haiti. My wife is back at my original home station in the U.S. She is still on AT&T and while in Honduras, I was with Tigo. While on Tigo, we could both send and receive phone calls and texts just fine. I just recently arrived in Haiti and picked up Digicel service. I have local and international money on my account. I have not changed my wife's contact number in any way, however now, she can receive my calls but we can't receive eachother's texts.
I've given her my number which is:
011 509 (xxxxxxxx)
In Honduras, with Tigo, it always worked when I would call/text using:
001(803)(xxxxxxx)
I've heard some others say that I could use the plus (+) sign making my call look like:
+1(803)(xxxxxxx)
I can't always call, so we rely on texts quite often. We have both sent texts to eachother with no avail. I don't know what else to do. Please help!

Found out how my wife can text me. She uses +509xxxxyyyy and it works perfectly. She still cannot receive my texts using the two methods in the original post above. I erased her number from my contacts and had her call me. It showed up as +1803xxxyyyy so I saved that number and tried to send a text but ended with the same result. I am being charged for each attempt.
I understand now that different carriers may require different country inputs of country codes. I don't understand why digicel will not allow me to send out a text when it is included in the pre-paid service and I have international time loaded as well as local.
Anyone? I've hit a road block and I'm out of ideas. Please help.

[Q] [WM] App to automatically call numbers through different lines with 2in1 sim?

Hi Everyone,
I search the forum as well as the web and couldn't find what I want.
I have a 2in1 sim card that holds 2 line numbers (official card from the provider).
The one is my work number (with contract) the other is prepaid (personal use).
The prepaid number has unlimited calls & SMS plan when calling/sending sms to a same prepaid card pack owner. So, calls & SMS to certain people that have the same prepaid pack I would like to be made through the prepaid number.
What I would like to ask is: Is there an app that allows me to define certain numbers for calls or SMS to be made with a certain line number?
EG. I have two lines: line1, line2 and two contacts: person1, person2
Person2 has the prepaid card pack that I can call for free.
-Let's say I am on line1. I would like, when I try to call person2 the phone to switch to line2 and then make the call.
The same would be cool for SMS (although I think is harder to implement)
This of course would require to either 1) Set an identifier in a field in each contact that can tell which line to dial from or 2) The app itself to have a database that I can link to contact as to what contact to call with each line.
I understand that intercepting the call/sms request would require low level coding, but I thought I would make a question to see if an app like this exists.
Thank you in advance.
PS. The reason I am requesting this is because many times on the rush I accidentally call the prepaid number through my contract line and pay for calling where I could have gone without.

[Q] International Texting problems

So my dad has the galaxy s4 and is having problems sending text messages internationally. So hes texting another countries number, which sends out. he has the correct outgoing number such as 011-598-**-***-*** but when he gets the text back it changes to 98-**-***-*** and when he respawns it gets a error so how would i fix the issue with the number removing the outgoing verification numbers when he receives a text.

The number 011-598-**-***-*** your dad used is usually for land-line telephone calls. The cellphone uses a "+" followed by country code and cellphone number. The numbers "011-5" could be the IDD access codes for your normal land-line telephone. It will work for telephone calls but not for texting.
When texting internationally, the destination (To) number is in the format: +(country code)(cellphone number) less the ( ).
For example if you were to text me (Singapore country code is 65), you would use this format:
+6512345678​+ sign is compulsory for cellphones.
65 is the country code
12345678 is the cellphone number​
For your dad's case,
Instead of texting to this number:
011-598-**-***-***​
Try texting to this number instead:
+98-**-***-***​
I believe the 98-**-***-*** is an Iranian cellphone number (see the link below for the Country codes):

Hope this helps

[Completed] Unwanted texting prefixes and "Yi Dialler" prompts before making calls.

Hello all,
I'm unsure about where to post this issue I am having with my handset. Let me explain a little about what is going on, and maybe someone can redirect me to where I should post the full details and hopefully get some answers
Have a Huawei C8813 Handset from China. It was payment for a computer job I did some time ago. I suspect it was a contract phone of some description, however it was completely wiped when I received it.
I had to perform some build prop edits in order to get it working on 2 Degrees here in New Zealand. These involved (ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=53024) and other related lines.
The issue I am having at the moment is that when I receive calls from other cellphones in New Zealand, they come through with no International prefix (this is fine, and desired). However text messages I receive from NZ cellphones come through with the International prefix. So if I were to receive a call from 022022022, it would come through as such, but a text message from the same number would appear on my handset as +6422022022. This causes me to attempt to enter both the prefixed and non prefixed numbers into every entry in my address book. Text messages will send fine to either the prefixed or non-prefixed number, but this causes message thread separation (undesired).
Further to this, if I make calls to a non-International-prefixed number (a local New Zealand cellphone) eg 022022022, I get a dialog up titled ""Yi Dialer" (China +86)" with the following options: "Call China (International Roaming Call)", "Call China (**133 call back)", "Call other country", "Call local". Obviously the call goes through fine if I select "Call local". However, if I put the international prefix in front of the number for NZ (+64,) calling a number in NZ, it bypasses "Yi Dialer" altogether and just makes the call eg: +6422022022.
I have searched the internet far and wide and can find very little related to "Yi Dialier" (or "easy dialer" if translated from Chinese). I have checked out all of the stock applications that came with the phone and none appear to be related to dialing.
I am interested in perhaps a build.prop or similar setting that may erase this issue and make the phone believe it is based in New Zealand. As far as I can work out, the handset thinks it is roaming all of the time, when in fact it is not. There is no convincing it of this through regular Android settings with regards to the carrier or cellphone network.
Any help or direction with this would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to provide screenshots and exact build.prop edits I have done to make the phone operate here in NZ.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here*http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help*where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.*
Good luck.

Every call I receive is international

Every number that calls me, the international code applied is the first couple digits of the number.
Example, 518-555-5555
Becomes +51 85 55555
Which is Mexico.
If I add the number to a contact, it's ignored due to area code being recognized incorrectly.
I'm on stock, Sprint phone, network unlocked with Cricket
