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

I have a contract with my cellphone company that provides me besides normal cellphone service, unlimited calls to a group of people in my country, all people in that group are identified with an aditional short phone number, so we have two phone numbers in our SIM, the normal one and the short one.
Happens that we use the short number to call ourserlves in the group (we could also use the normal number, but that'd be charged in my invoice as a normal call), but the normal phone number is always shown in our phones as incoming number when receiving a call from the group or outside, and that's how it is saved in call log.
So, in my contacts list, each contact has the two numbers added (I've set the normal phone number as cell phone number, and the short number as work phone).
Now the problem, the way smartdialer in WinMo5 and later work is to show the last call (made/missed/received) of every contact, then contacts list (if contact not already shown before), and after receiving a call from the group in my case the normal number is shown, and there's no way to use the short number to reply, unless I take the long path and go to contacts list and choose the contact and number manually; usually I'm in a hurry and just forget and call the contact using smartdialing and happens that the normal number is dialed.
I had no problem using smardialing with WinMo2003 as there was an option to choose a default number when there were multiples numbers on a contact, so, no matter what number a contact used to call me, when using smartdialing the default number was always chosen, I see no equivalent in WinMo5 or later.
Now, is there a way to replicate that behavior from WinMo2003? (registry/patch/etc.), thanks for taking the time to read.
P.D. the same can be said when we have multiples numbers in a contact (work/home/etc.) and receive calls from some of them but just want to reply to just one of them.
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.
Hey guys,
I just added two lines to my T-mo family plan and got these phones for free (had to pay tax). I am currently using an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and when receiving texts from either new line, the thread shows that a number I do not recognize (with a Michigan area code, 313, when we live in San Diego), while the message texts shows the correct phone number (619 area codes).
I've looked thru the message settings and there is no option for "Outgoing SMS Number" and it is NOT a 15digit SIM #. It is a callable phone number, as i called the number and my brother answered the phone...
Thanks in advance for help/suggestions
I got the KT TECH TAKE LTE KM-E100 korean android phone
however, there are some some bugs:
P1. unable to send SMS over 130 chars
P2. incorrect font of unicode message when send to another devices
P3. doesn't show the name of caller in the contact book while phone ringing
For the P3, it seems E100 doesn't smart search in the contact book. To make a caller name show while the incoming caller, the phone number of the caller must be have number only, without any space, plus (+), hyphen (-) ...
when we add new / sync contact, we must manually make the phone number with the above rules.
does any one have experience about these problem? Please share
thank you very much
HI everyone.
Sorry for the second post in a few days, but this is an annoying issue
I have a verizon galaxy s6, and I am currently living in Belgium, using belgian sim (carrier BASE). I don't think this issue is unique to the country or the carrier.
The problem I am having is that when I receive a text message from a belgian number, the number that shows on my phone has the country code: +32 xx xxx xxxx. I can get text messages like this, but when I try to reply, the message fails. (this has happened on every number ive tried to respond to.) The only way I can get my texts to send is by making the number into a new contact, and removing the +32 country code. The same goes for when i'm trying to call, I have to remove the country code, if I keep it, the call fails. I've tried turning on and off assisted dialing, and I did a factory reset on my phone. Ive tried dialing US numbers and they have also failed, so it's not forcing the +1 country code on my numbers while calling either.
This is a huge pain, because it forces me to make a new contact for every single new number, even if its not a number I need/want to keep, and go in and adjust it manually.
Thanks for the help, it's very appreciated.
I have the same issue in Albania...i belive you ! It's a very a anoying matter , from that moment i have editet all the numbers i frequently call or text..!

Hi, I'm from Argentina and have had the same issue with sms. In my case, I was able to send sms but cannot reply because the messages comes with +54 (My country Code) before the line number. After 2 weeks claiming to the carrier (Personal), the problem was fixed changing the SIM CARD for a new one. I Hope this can be helpful for you.
Regards.
