message 8UV1 Your call cannot be completed as dialed

[Tofino]

Hello, 

I ve just purchased an add on to be able to call France and every time I dial a number I have this message saying that 

Your call cannot be completed as dialed

The number is 

0033 +4.50.10.22.43

it is a regular number (not a toll free)

I ve tried several other numbers and it is the same result.

What should I do?

Thanks for your help, 

Emma

The usage of 011 was relevant in the era of landline phones in North America (they did not have a "+" key), but the international standard of using the "+" sign is the better practice, and is the only guaranteed way to bypass any default formatting settings on your phone app.

 @Tofino : There are a couple parts to all this international dialing.

1. Use either 011 or + to "get out to international".

2. If the other end has leading zeros in their numbers then drop them.

@Tofino

The error you are receiving has to do with the number being badly formatted. In addition, I can confirm that the number you have provided is valid, as per fone finder: http://www.fonefinder.net/findint.php?intlnum=33450102243&intlquery=Search+by+Number&intlname=

So the most likely scenario is that your "phone" app is configured to interfere with the formatting of phone numbers by default. Usually, this can be overridden by using the "+" sign. You will not be able to call an international number by just putting it in without a prefix, so "33450102243" will not work.

TLDR; try calling +33450102243 and share your results here.

Hi Emma,

The plus sign cannot be used in addition to "00". You should just dial +33450102243 from your phone.
