I live in Mexico, and it is not necessary to dial the country code (+52) in order to call either a land line or a mobile phone. In fact, Mexico is set up for 10-digit dialing, and has been for several years. Yet for a number of my contacts, the number is actually being changed, and then the call does not go through. I can edit the contact numbers and yet it reappears. Telcel is my carrier.

Hey joelle153,
If you haven't already, check to see if the "Dial Assist" setting is turned on as this adds the international or local prefix automatically. Just in case, here's how to check: Make a call on iPhone - Apple Support
Change your outgoing call settings
1. Go to Settings> Phone.
2. Do any of the following:
• Turn on Show My Caller ID: (GSM) Your phone number is shown in My Number. For FaceTime calls, your phone number is displayed even if caller ID is turned off.
• Turn on Dial Assist for international calls: (GSM) When Dial Assist is turned on, iPhone automatically adds the correct international or local prefix when you call your contacts and favorites.
For information about making international calls (including rates and other charges that may apply), contact your carrier.
Keep us posted.
Take care!
