weird area code

ZeroShot · April 6th, 2012, 12:14 PM

this just started i think. i tried dialing just a number today to call something local and it put a 617 area code on the number. that is not mine. so i tried dialing my area code then the number and it dial fine. so this 617 area code is somewhere, how do i change it?

only thing new that I've changed lately is putting cwm on.

Hmm... ...that's odd. Phones are a little weird here in Mass and that's a Mass area code. We actually have two area codes for each area, where I am it is 508/774. Boston is 617/781 (I think, I'm positive about the 617 part). We have to dial the 10 digit number whether using cell or land line. I worked in CT for a bit and it took me about a 100 phone calls to get used to only dialing the 7 digit phone number.

wait okay so when you dial your voicemail, on the first 3 #'s, they are not of your area code? um idk but..
If thats what you mean, Settings > Call Settings > VoiceMail Settings > Tap on Voicemail number, and change it. i havent tried it though. !

No my voicemail is fine. If a dial a number with out area code (to try and call the number local) it adds 617 as the area code.

Well I flashed to stock++ and it fixed itself. Have no idea where it was or how to fix it but flashing did. Thx for the input and trying to help.
