Forced to dial extra digits on domestic call
This has happened more than once to my daughter and myself when calling my wife's phone. I researched the symptom and it is supposed to affect international callers. I only call domestic numbers...
Extra digits, like 1 and the area code or like 01? If the area code is different than yours for the number you are calling, then 1 is usually needed regardless of whether it is a long distance call or not. Just about everywhere now requires the area code and number to be dialed, even if the number is within the same area code. Some devices have a setting requiring numbers to be dialed in 10+ digits. If you are not in the area your number is based in, then usually 1 plus the area code is needed as well.
This is exactly my experience. It had stopped for a short while, and just two days ago it happened again. I am calling my wife, and it is one of the 4 lines in my account. My wife just told me it happened to her last week when she called our daughter. T-Mobile needs to stop beating around the bush and provide a real answer and a solution. This is an annoyance.
