Quite a while ago, I flashed to DCD 3.2.6. After that, I noticed that I couldn't dial phone numbers from my contacts, but I could dial them directly. When I would dial using the contact, it would look like the call was going through, then I would get three error chimes and a message saying the call was disconnected.
Finally, I figured out that the difference is that in my contacts, the phone numbers all have "+1" before the number, i.e. "+1(206) 555-1212". This is the international prefix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_call_prefixes#Syntax).
I assumed that this was a problem with DCD 3.2.6. However, I just flashed DCD 4.1.2, and the same issue is there. I suppose I could go through all 223 of my contacts and edit the phone numbers to get rid of the plus sign. However, this is the correct format for a number, and non-custom ROMs have worked fine with it.
Anyone got an idea of how to get the dialer with DCD 4.1.2 to work with these phone numbers? I'm guessing I just need to change some configuration relating to my International Prefix (U.S.) Alternatively, does anyone know of a ROM that does work with these phone numbers and also keeps the GPS and tethering (via Internet Sharing) working on my Verizon XV6800?
Thanks,
Jamie
Got it
Okay, I found it.
In the dialer application, go to "Menu", "Options...", "Services" tab, scroll down to "Plus Code Dialing". The rest is self-explanatory.
Hopefully, this will save someone else some time.

After I upgraded my ROM to DCD's latest, whenever I try dialing from contacts or speed dial, I get this error message:
"Press END key to stop intercept tone" and it never dials.
Anyone got any ideas?
which carrier?
never seen or heard of that, did you install the right rom for your carrier?
The carrier is Verizon and I chose Verizon from the kitchen when I created the ROM. I have made ROM's before on my 6700.
if I dial the number manually, it works fine. It's only when I dial from contacts or speed dial.
Strange.
Confirmed
I'm running the NexVision Hybrid ROM (based on DCD's ROM) on my XV6800, and I can reproduce this issue at will. I've narrowed it down (at least in my case) to the international dialing prefix being used. That is, if a contact's number is stored as (e.g.) "+1 212 555 1212", the dialer chokes on the "+1" - I hear a short beep, and then (usually) see the "Press END key to stop intercept tone" message.
If I edit the contact's phone number to remove the "+1" (or just the "+", leaving the 1), it dials just fine. Basically, it seems to always come down to the "+"...
The problem (for me, at least), is that I have a "+" prefix for most of my (many) contacts. Plus, most of the numbers in my employer's Company Directory (which I can search and dial from my device) have this prefix. I've had a few people ask me what the "+" prefix is all about, thinking the mistake is on my side for using some alien format for the country code prefix. Just to head that off, I'll point out that this format comes from the ITU-T Recommendation E.123, "Notation for national and international telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and Web addresses". So there. Plus, it's worked on every other phone I've ever used, including this one - at least I did, until I upgraded the ROM. ]
BetaMan, does this apply to your case at all? Either way, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

i have an htc titan with dcd 2.3.2 rom installed.
when i search a phone number over the internet via canada411.com, when i click on the number i want to dial i am given the option to automatically dial my number on my phone.
the problem is the number shown only show area code and number not the "1" before the area code to dial. i know there is a way to do it but i can figure out how to get my phone to automatically insert the 1.
i had 2.3.2 installed before and it works perfect in that aspect. thats how i know there is a way to do it. unfortunatly i had to reload the same rom and now i cant figure out how to do it.
This should do it: Start>Settings(Personal)>Phone>Services>Automatic Prepend
My MSL code is not working. I both called sprint and used getspc.exe and they both gave me the MSL of 057191 and when I go to my phone dialpad and enter ##057191# nothing happens. I read on another forum that you can't do it from a skinned dialpad. I'm using Nexvision's Hybrid 3.35.04 and i think it has a touch skinned dialpad (dark gray/black, big buttons).
I've been using this ROM for months now and I love it. Everything is working great, no problems, just this.
Is there something else i could be doing wrong? I need this ASAP so i can "reset" my phone on the network to allow me to use the *611 dropped call thing some more.
I have honestly tried searching the archives and didn't find this.

Probably a dialer problem. I'd try installing various other dialers to remedy your problem.
I don't understand are you already in PST? Or are you trying to get there? If your trying to get there it is ##778# or ##778 send. You may need to erase your calls, you then enter in your MSL(just the six digits and no # symbol). You should not be using a dial pad to enter in your MSL while in PST it should be they keyboard.

This is true.
The MSL is your unlock code to EDIT values inside EPST. To enter EPST on Sprint, dial ##778# and send. When EPST opens, if you choose Edit, THEN you enter your MSL. MSL is not required to simply View EPST.
Thanks, but none of the methods are working
Thanks for the quick replies. I was just following the instructions of the Tier 1 tech guy on with me didn't seem to know what he was talking about, and apparently didn't. He was trying to get me to enter ##[MSL]# without hitting send, from the dialpad. He got all bent and had no clue what to do when it wasn't working.
I tried ##778 > send and also ##778# then send and neither one gets me into EPST. It just places a call and the female recording says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect...message 637." I also tried it without hitting send, nothing happens.
Another poster suggested i install nother dialer. How do i get back to the original dialer? Also, will i have problems getting my touch dialer back with smartdial working? I've always been hesitant to go changing dialers since I've heard about and had problems with getting smartdial to work once the switching shenanigans begin. TIA
##778# is the ## code for Sprint.
If it's not working for you, one of the following must be the cause:
1. You have installed a dialer not meant for CDMA phones and it has broken your functions.
2. You have not installed the Sprint carrier cab.
I'm also assuming you're using the latest 3.1.2 rom. If not, please post what rom you are using and also what dialer you are using.
Have you tried to directly run ..\Windows\EPST.exe ??
In the Windows directly try executing that or its shortcut. If it quickly loads and exits, then try a few more times before resetting your phone and trying again.
Solved! but still trying to "reset phone on network"
well, don't i feel like an "azclown." I was searching for the OEM dialer and came across this thread, in which i found the same issue being discussed and azclown had uploaded a touch dialer that fixes the problem! i love it when people not only answer a question, but also put the file right there in your face.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2255605&highlight=oem+dialer#post2255605
that dialer is basically the same as the one Nexvision had in the ROM i am using, but it has a blue accent (and ## codes work!).
However, now on to what my real problem was that i was trying to, as the Tier 1 rep put it "Reset my phone on the network" by either retyping my existing MSID or entering all zeros and then rebooting. He said that would allow me to get more dropped call credits. i'm referring to the *611, then just saying "dropped call" to get 2 minutes of credit, which i need to repeat a bunch of times, since with so many dropped calls where i used to live, i ended up going over my minutes.
I tried doing what the guy said, using all zeros for the MSID made it so that *611 didn't work and it tried to get me to activate my phone from square one. So i put the original MSID back and it still says I've gotten the limit for the dropped call credits. Anyone know what the guy means by "reset my phone on the network" and how i can do that? (sorry for the long posts) TIA
That ROM comes with a crappy dialer which has memory leaks on CDMA phones and does not support the codes or 911. Re-cook it with the stock dialer and install dcd's touch dialer CAB. Or you can cook it with the dialer's OEM folder from the latest dcd ROM.
So wait you were able to get in to your PST? As I said before you may need to erase your call history then dial ##778 then hit send.
yes, I got into the PST just fine after putting the other dialer on (i had also deleted my call history). i used the ##778# method. However, I wasn't able to "reset my phone on the network" (per sprint tech rep's instructions) so that I could get more dropped call credits. That was the real reason I was trying to do all of this. My minutes restarted today, so I'm just going to have to pay for an overage. Oh well.

Nonsense. You accepted that answer?
I am having trouble changing the voicemail number on my Galaxy S2. At present pressing the voicemail speeddail does nothing other then prompting me to add my voicemail number and directs me to the settings app.
If I try to change it in Settings > Call settings, I get the error message 'Voice Mail Number change unsuccesful'. But no real reason why it happens and its annoying me greatly as I can't clear my voicemail counter without it and what not >_<
Tried power cycling and what not and neither of it has helped, so has anyone of you gotten any idea as to how I can add it to my phone or fix that stupid error. Any help or advice short of doing a full reset is more then welcome, and I do hope someone might be able to help me....
Thanks in advance.
There is a copy of your voice mailbox number on the sim card that may conflict with what you are trying to do.
Talk to your provider, they can flush your mailbox and allow you to reset the number.
How can they flush my sim card, or am I reading your comment wrong?.
Just for clarifying I changed provider on my phone and I am unsure wether the error happened during that change since I can't remember fiddling with the voicemail bit before the last couple of days and running into that error.
they can flush the settings for your voicemail on their server which will allow you to make changes to your voice mail account.
Well they tried something which advertantly didn't work >_<. But apparently the voicemail number isn't even on my simcard.
They tried even more stuff >_<.
And when I press and hold #1 on my phone it says there isnt a voicemail number on my sim. But trying to change it through settings it still says "Voicemail Number changed unsuccesful"
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
At the moment I have limited the issue to being operator dependant. Because I have the issue on one sim from my regular provider, while trying two other providers simcards doesnt cause this error.
Next on list is to try another simcard and then go digging in the phone to see what might be causing it. But I will be pinging you if I find the solution.
dnesdlrow, where are you from and what provider do you use?.
I've got the same problem. I flashed to a custom & now there is no voicemail number on my SIM card.
I called customer service and the gave me a 10 digit number to plug in. They said the number is different for everyone so if anyone else has the same trouble you can simply call your carrier.
You need to put in your carriers specific voice mail number. For example I am on O2 UK and mine is 901.
Use google of contact your carrier for the number.

Hello,
I had a similar issue. I changed the plan on my phone, and afterward the voicemail didn't work when I did a long press on the #1 button. It kept saying that there was no voicemail number, and when I tried to enter it into the settings manually it kept saying "Voicemail number change unsuccessful."
I called Rogers and they gave me a new voicemail number; I could dial it and set up my voicemail, but when I tried to program it into the dedicated #1 speed dial spot, I still could not change it. I tried copying it to my SIM card and adding it as a contact to select for the speed dial slot, but that didn't work either. I suspected that this new number was conflicting with the SIM card, so I went to Rogers and asked for a new one. Despite some resistance, they gave it a shot, and it worked perfectly thereafter. Just be sure to copy your contacts over to your phone before getting a new SIM!
I hope this solution works for others too!
Cheers and good luck!
Help please ...
I too am trying to set my voicemail for the speed dial "1" key.
while at the keypad screen:-
menu-> call setting -> scroll to the heading "voicemail", option "voicemal service", is set default to "my carrier".
I then choose to change the "voicemail settings" -> "voicemail number", and enter the new voicemail number to dial, press ok .... and this is where the problem is...
When I press OK ... I get the following error "Voicemail number change unsuccessful"
I would like to to have this number changed , as every time manually dial my voicemail number it constantly ask for my password.
Why is this happening, I have purchased this phone outright, it is model type i9300, running Android 4.1.2.
Hopefully this can be an easy fix...?
PS...
This also causes a problem with Australian virtual mobile carriers, like Amaysim, Kogan, Aldi, who use Telstra & Optus as there underlying carriers, and and also will cause issues when travelling abroad, because you will not be able to access your voicemail if the number can not be changed to the full international dialing equivalent..
Also Can't Change the Voicemail number
I'm running a non-rooted, GS3 from VZW. Running 4.1.2.
The current voicemail number is *86 (Verizon's). I'd like to change it because I'm abroad and *86 is not my carrier's voicemail number. Every time I go to Phone, Call Settings, Voicemail Settings, and edit the number to the local one, I get "Error: Voicemail number change unsuccesful."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Same problem still
I'm on an S4 Mini with cm11 m6 and habe the same problem with a German T-Mobile card. I can easily dial the number 3311. Why can't I simply assign that to the #1 key?
Does anyone know of a way to change the SMSC number on this phone? Everywhere I've read says that it's supposed to be in the default messaging app, under Message Center, but it appears Verizon has disabled that. I did a full ODIN back to stock to check. Now I'm on 5.0.1 and there's still no option. The other solution was to do *#*#4636#*#* as a code. Originally special codes are also disabled on verizon phones, but I have those enabled in the file system. When typed, the code does nothing.
Anyone know of a workaround, maybe a way to edit SMSC as root, is it stored in a file somewhere?
If it's not possible, I'm looking to get Cricket wireless working correctly on this phone. Data, Phone calls, mms, and receiving messages works just fine, I have an issue with sending. I'd assume that it's a big no-no to flash an AT&T Rom correct?
Thanks!
I'm still looking for an answer to this question too. I've been at it for months. I'm currently wading through the output of "strings" called on the various .so files that rild is using. I've got root, there's gotta be somewhere I can change this verizon smsc to the tmobile one that i'm currently using this phone on.
