Dialing on iPhone

Hello! Can you kindly share your opinion on adding digits before/in front of the pasted phone number? The issue is that some webpages you need to call don't burden themselves with county of region codes, and you cannot dial necessary numbers and paste phone numbers afterward :(

Area brackets when dialing phone number on iPhone I have an iPhone 13 running iOS17.3.1. When dialling a number, the screen re-organises the numbers. In the past, when dialling a UK mobile number, it displays the following: 07787 ### ### Now, it displays the following: 0 (778) 7## ## ## Calls can still be made but it's just difficult to read and annoying. Is there a fix somewhere for this? It has only occurred recently. . . Thank you! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Add edit before call function Hi Apple This would be very helpful if you could add the function to edit number before dial it. Example, I dial a overseas number where there is no country code given and this call will not go through because the country code is missing. To solve this issue we need to dial the number as is then save it by adding the country code, make the call and then delete it (coz I don’t need to save this number). This is really very troublesome. We are looking forward a solution to it. Thanks apple Best Regards Mann

After a trip to Brazil, my phone cannot correctly format a dialed number without putting a +1 every time I returned from a trip to Brazil about a month ago. Ever since then, every time I try to dial a US number, my phone automatically formats it the Brazilian way (00) 00000-0000, unless I type the country code. I have removed my Brazilian SIM card, force restarted my phone, made sure my language & region are correct, and ensured that Dial Assist is on. I cannot seem to solve this issue and it is driving me nuts! I can't even paste a number into the Phone or dial a number by clicking on a phone number hyperlink from a website because my phone formats it the wrong way. Does anyone know how to fix this?!

The paste option - is the correct way for not to bother 🙂 Using another app is more ridiculous then dialing the whole number digit by digit.

So that’s no way to just move a cursor to the beginning of line? Maybe a long press or double tap? 🤔

Create a Note or a Contact, paste the number into it, add any prefix or postfix, then copy all of it and paste in into the dial window. Or just manually enter the entire number and don’t bother with Paste. Or if you create a contact, just call the contact.
