I AM TIRED OF THIS NEW NOT AT ALL SMART FEATURE IN BLACK BERRY. DID YOU FOUND ANY SOLUTION TO DISABLE IT?

Hi, I just unlocked my Blackberry and placed my old SIM card in it. When I try to call numbers from my SIM, it keeps putting a 1 in front of it and instead of calling the number I’m told I’m trying to call long distance. I believe this may have to do with smart calling, but I don’t see smart calling in my options list, so I don’t know how to disable it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[...] Smart Dialing Configuration | BlackBerry Cool – Yesterday, we told you how to unlock your phone if you’re travelling overseas. Today we’re going to show you how to setup smart dialing and configure dialing for your appropriate area. The smart dialing feature on the handheld allows you to set a default Country Code and Area Code. [...]

I think this Smart Dialing is darn stupid. I have a Tour and I set it to my country code. Inside my phone book there are some numbers stored with country code, the same country I’m dialing from. The country code was included in phone number when I saved it directly from incoming call.

So with this setup, those numbers with country code (+60-555-5555) included couldn’t get through. An error from my Telco auto machine telling me that the number dialed is incomplete. However those numbers without country code (555-5555) can get through without any problem. There are two solutions: Either change all my phone book numbers to exclude the +60 country code; Or change the country code (under Smart Dialing menu) to “unknown”. The second method would sort of disable the stupid Smart Dialing. Me having more than 250 entries in my phone book, I of course go for the second option. Now both numbers with or without country code could get through.

Those Nokia and Motorola phones that I used before never have such problem.

Jorge, I have a bold as well but my smart dialing is not working or maybe i am doing something wrong. Have you experience the same problem? When i dial a number it does not dial the country code. it dials only the number itself. Sorry, but let me know if you know something about it.

Hi Jorge

Not sure where you live but in Canada, you still have to have a data plan with the carrier and if you have VOIP ability on your smartphone you have to have an additional plan to use that too. Poor carriers need to make money too

Sorry I should mention this is for the Storm to be able to use the smart dialing feature. All other models simply put an x in front of the extension number.

If you are using the Storm, Moses and you don’t see an add pause, couple things. try removing your battery for 30 seconds and see if you can see it and if you still can’t see it, then see if there is a newer patch for your device.

Hello Darci, I do not see the option for “add pause” on my phone.
