Enable international dialing
The international dialing preference makes it easy to make calls to another
country, for example, to call home when you are traveling abroad. When
you make a call, your phone automatically adds the dialing prefix for the
country you are calling.Suppose you select the U.S. or Canada as the
country for your international dialing preference. Your phone adds “+1” if
you dial a 10-digit U.S. or Canadian number. It adds “+1” and your phone's
area code if you dial a 7-digit US or Canadian number.
