Hey everyone,

I just tried to contact my country’s social health insurance system via phone, and to not have to pay in queue you have to request them to call you back. For some reason they don’t get my number automatically and I have to type it in.

So, what’s the problem? Well, my phone won’t allow me to press “+” while in a call, which is required to type in the country code.

I was able to make the call by waiting in queue but I have to pay a bit of money for it. In case I have to make more calls, it would be nice to know if there was a fix for this.

Dialer is the default one (Google?), phone is Oneplus Nord 5, up to date in updates (software version CPH2709_16.0.5.1002).

I hope someone knows a fix for this. I can type in the plus symbol just fine outside of calls by long pressing “0”, but it just won’t work in a call.

    Have you tried just skipping the +?
    They probably don’t have anyone dialing local numbers, so maybe someone thought they were being smart and not starting on 0 means international.
