Q: Using a SIM-card from another country, problems with contacts and messages
Hi!
I'm from Belgium, but I'm going to stay in Norway for at least a year. So I ordered a Norwegian SIM-card. All went well and now I have the Norwegian SIM-card in my iPhone 5s. Until I tried to send messages to a Belgian person from my contacts.
When I want to send a message in a conversation, or send a message in a new conversation (with a Belgian person I have in my contacts list), it doesn't get sent. First I thought that it was because I didn't have the Belgian country code in front of their numbers in my contacts. So I added the Belgian country code in front of their numbers, but it still doesn't work. This is really annoying.
Maybe the phone is still trying to send messages to the number from my contacts without the country code? And since I'm using a Norwegian SIM-card, maybe something is going wrong? A lot of my contacts and conversations got messed up now too, and Messages on my Mac is suddenly having problems as well.
What can I do to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
iPhone 5s, iOS 10
