Numbers coming in incorreclty - showing as foreign countries
Whenever I receive a call from a number that is not saved in my contacts, the Caller ID shows it incorrectly. It appears as if it's adding a country code that is not correct, or just breaking the number apart incorrectly and showing it coming in from a different country all together. This has only been going on for about a week. The numbers below are in fact US numbers, if you look at the one labeled peru, it should be (513)-393-2193 - I dont know where the extra 6 is coming from. The Argentina number, is actually 877 -698-3261. Again, no idea where the +54 is coming from and the Croatia number is 385 428 1000 - no extra numbers there, it just formatted it incorrectly.
Is anyone else having this problem? I've hard reset the phone numerous times, no fix
Sorry about that! This is a tough one cause it looks like it's a Apple SW issue with the formatting. Have you had a chance to reach out to Apple support?
Yes I do, I travel a lot international and it ensures that I can call my contacts no matter of my location.

I am pretty stumped on this one. I have been searching the web for quite a while and this was the best thread I could find on the issue. Incoming Local Calls Displaying as Intern… - Apple Community. Wanna take a peek through that and see if there is any value?
¡Hola, @magenta1536507!
Did you have a chance to check out the link Chris posted? If so, any luck? *fingers crossed*
I looked at it but so far no luck.

I have been seeing the same problem for the past month or so - caller ids from all around the world, when they are actually from the United States.
I have had the same Samsung Galaxy phone for over 2 years
I have a Samsung Galaxy phone (2+ years), and started noticing this same issue in October 2018. Have been in the U.S. the entire time.
Has this issue been fixed? My husband and I just started experience this today. Phone calls from my work are coming up as "Greece". I'm guessing since its a 303 number it's coming up as Greece because +30 is the country code for Greece. I have had my work number saved in my phone for 8 years...so why is this just now happening?
Try adding a "+1" before the affected contact's number. This worked for me
