Incoming numbers appear as international numbers
Feb 21, 2019 - We are seeing a problem for the last few months where local / US numbers are appearing as international incoming numbers. The issue seems to appear only on our T-Mobile iPhones. The other family iPhones / my colleague iPhones with different carriers using the same current 12.1.4 iOS don't have this issue. It does not seem to make a difference if the incoming caller in my contacts or not, nor does it make a difference if they are in my contacts and their number has +1 at the front or not .... most of my incoming calls from local US numbers and/or in my contacts are all appearing as international inbound calls. For example I live in 610 area code and calls are coming in as +61 Australia.
Any one having this problem? Any suggestions? Can T-Mobile comment?
After everything you've described, I think the ticket is the best bet. You could try removing/readding the existing contacts this happens with but I understand this wouldn't account for the numbers that aren't saved in your list. We'd need our engineers to continue to investigate this further after looking over your tickets.
Same issue here. T-Mobile, get this sorted out please.
From my friend in the 925 area code in the San Francisco Bay Area whose number is stored in my contacts.
The most recent of many examples.
Just encountered this issue. US 408 number reconfigured as +40 Romania. I realized several previous calls were also mis-identified as international from countries. This started when switching to T-mobile about a year ago. Clearly NOT an Apple issue as I've always had iPhones and never had this problem. Just FYI since this thread is 4+ years old. Still happening March 2023.
This just started happening on my phone, I am using an android, Motorola Power 8, what is the fix?
