How can I disable Dial Assist feature on IOS 17.2.1 if I can not find it in Settings->Phone menu?

I have checked online how to disable Dial Assist feature on my IPHONE as I can not use some SMS services in my country if country code is added as a prefix to a message sent. I can not find this switch on my two IPHONES SE running 17.2.1 IOS.

Please advise.

Dial Assist Function Missing on iPhone 12 Mini I am unable to dial international numbers from my iPhone 12 mini. My service provider suggested Dial Assist should be turned off. BUT ..I can search (in settings) and find a Dial Assist icon, but there is no function behind this. If I click it takes me to Phone settings/information. I have updated to iOS 16.3. I have checked all videos on how to access and turn off Dial Assist. Settings-> Phone-> Dial Assist (bottom of page next to 'Change Voicemail Password'), but it just not there as an option. Anyone solved this issue?

Dial assist - problem with country code Hello, I have a problem with my 13 Pro. I have SIM card from my country inserted in the phone, and as I visit foreign country at least once a week, I have turned off the feature “dial assist” as I was getting wrong country prefix for any caller that is not in my phonebook and for contact in the phonebook that are saved without country prefix (+xxx). The problem is that even after disabling “dial assist”, I still get wrong country prefix for incoming calls when I am in roaming at the foreign country. I have tried changing phone region in the settings and returning back to proper region, but that haven’t solved anything… what could be the problem, how to fix this, as this is huge problem for me?

Dial Assist not turning off and Showing wrong country code I’m on iOS 15.5. Some time back I started to use dial assist but it was showing wrong country code. I have tried multiple times since then but it is neither turning off not showing the correct country code. Wonder if my phone is attacked by a spyware or is it an iOS fault?

Usually this feature is located at the bottom of screen in Settings/Phone.

Any restrictions set up on your iPhone, or is it a managed device?

Which iPhone model do you have?
