International Country Code Added to Contacts
Google Pixel 4a (5G) here.
Went to the country of Panama in December of 2021. Sometime around March of this year, Contacts that I have had for years now do not include the Name when sending or receiving a text via Google Messenger.
Instead, the local number appears but after reviewing the text Details, these number now have +507, the country code for Panama, and adds it to the beginning of the number. And, using the Add As a Contact option to the person’s existing number does not work.
Since this does not affect all of my Contacts, is there a solution or a fix? I’ve deleted the Contacts in question and added them again with the correct info, but when sending a text, Google Messenger reverts to the +507 number and the name is not included as stored in my Contacts.
Is there a fix for this issue?
Sounds like something that the Pixel decided to do. Really, it’s best practice to include the + and country code in all phone numbers. Just should be the correct country code.
You may want to peruse the Google boards since it appears to be Google issue and you will find more people with an issue like this.
