Telephone numbers

Since my last upgrade my phone numbers all have the +44 code in front and my phone numbers have been broken up by spaces so number is not recognised! And I just tried to send a text to another mobile in the Uk and it keeps putting +32 which is Belgium 🤷‍♀️ Confused

It's a Virgin Media issue. This has been driving me nuts for two months. User R101 on the Virgin forum posted this yesterday and it works!

I've found a way to replicate this issue at will and am currently experimenting with a fix.

The potential fix I'm experimenting with is to do the following.

Go to:

Settings -> mobile data -> SIM Applications (near bottom) -> tap "Roaming" -> tap "Select Mode"

I found "automatic" was selected by default.

Tap manual -> then choose National.

Now make sure your numbers are set to the correct format. If not change region to anything other than UK (Settings -> General -> Language and Region -> Region) and then change back to UK region.
