+32 added to numbers when using imessage

[Batstonr]

Every time I enter a new number to text on my iphone 6s it now adds +32 immediately in front - never used to

seen a similar post on here that didn’t seem resolved. Any answers ?

I’ve toggled Dial Assist - no change

Hi Batstonr,

There are numerous posts about similar problems relating to Belgium ( +32 international dialling code) , the following link might help.

Thanks, I did find that but there doesn't appear to be a solution evident anywhere unfortunately !

Hello Bastonr

Sorry to hear of the iPhone number issues experienced, we appreciate the frustration this can cause and you raising it via the forums.

Were you able to try the following as recommended by enlli:

You need to find your SIM toolkit. I believe it is now located under connections

Select SIM Applications
Select Roaming
Select Select mode
Select National or Virgin
Select International and you are done, go back Home screen to retry

The toolkit will be an app on your phone, you can find it via the search option.

nope, doesn't work !

To save us going over old ground and suggesting resolutions you have already tried, can you confirm what steps you have tried Bastonr?

Have you spoken to Apple in regards to this also?

This advice is wrong. When in the UK you have to select NATIONAL 

Only use international abroad.

@Batstonr 

The advice given in a previous post about setting the SIM Toolkit is wrong.

In the UK you must set it to NATIONAL

Unfortunately that doesn’t work either
