iPhone phone number display format changed

Normally when I want to make a call and enter a phone number, the phone number will be displayed as 62 61 39 99. It has changed to 626-139 99. I have checked the country and region settings. How do I get it back?

iPhone 15, iOS 26

Caller ID is displaying US based numbers appear as international numbers My iPhone 15 pro max running iOS 18.2.1 This is new condition that I am noticing since I upgraded to 18.2.1 Caller ID is displaying US based numbers appear as international numbers For example the real number calling is 202-555-1212 And my iPhone displays the number as +20 25 551 21 2 and claims the called is in Egypt ( the country code for Egypt is +20 ). Is this something fixable? I just upgraded to 18.3 and hopeful this version will go back to the previous behavior I am used to. Cheers

While dialing my iPhone 15 Pro, the displayed dialing format is now international without my changing any settings nor updating iOS Why did my iPhone all of a sudden change to an international dialing format? What can be done to change this back? While dialing my iPhone now, the format has changed to international. The iPhone is separating the first two digits as if this were a country code. I didn't change any settings. I didn't update my iOS. So how does this happen without the owner of an iPhone doing anything? Is this some kind of AI? Does AI stand for Annoying Intelligence now? Any idea how to get this back into a USA format where a three digit area code is separated first? Thank you

Dialing on iPhone Hello! Can you kindly share your opinion on adding digits before/in front of the pasted phone number? The issue is that some webpages you need to call don't burden themselves with county of region codes, and you cannot dial necessary numbers and paste phone numbers afterward :(

Spaces, Hyphen or Parentheses in a Phone number depends on the International prefix

Watch the GIF below. Note here only numbers are being input, but Spaces, Hyphen or Parentheses are added by iPhone automatically
