We're not lazy, cellular network assumes +1 and unlike land line which
relies on the 1's tone to set it up in domestic dial

Recently switched from iOS to Android and am having trouble dialing
numbers. All of my contacts have the country code included in the stored
phone numbers. So all the US numbers are +1 (xxx) xxx-, the Belgian
numbers +32 (xxx) xxx-, etc.
But I can't actually dial any of the US numbers. When I try to do so, I get
a network busy message. If I remove the country code, it works just
fine.
Googling around I discovered that it might be due to a feature called
Assisted dialing which apparently is something for lazy Americans who
don't realize that country codes exist. I have the feature turned off, and
expected my phone to just figure it out like my iPhone did.
Short of going through all of my numbers and removing the +1 country code,
suggestions?
