Hi Christopher, I am curious about this "dial assist" feature since I never encountered it. I always put the country code in for my contacts, e.g. +1 for Canada and US, +49 for Germany etc. By entering numbers in the international dialing format they always seem to dialed correctly and it doesn't seem to be a problem, e.g. even if I dial a number local to where I am in which case I don't really need the +1, having it there doesn't matter.

Hi all I have an interesting observation with my iPhone 4s and asking is the below normal. I added a contact who has a U.S. cellular number. When I attempted to send them a message it wanted to send a text not an iMessage. So backed out, double check the contact and turns out the iPhone inserted plus 44 in front of the number. Yes I am in the UK. I then recalled that plus 1 is for the U.S. So I put this in front of the number and now all is well. I might know of a feature called dial assist is the culprit here. Am I right here and if so should I turn this off to remove this perhaps helpless assumption that all numbers I add are UK based when truly they're not? Any comments greatly appreciated.
