https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/z-series/sending-text-messages-to-numbers-with-added-prefix/m-p/3451994#M81832 <P>Hi&nbsp;<A href="https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/702895">@Jamesk65</A>,<BR /><BR />I'm sorry to say but the Messages app does currently not have a way of removing or ignoring the prefix when you send a text message to a number that includes one. There might be other apps that can do this but I am personally not aware of one. Also, that app would need to know what the prefix is in order to remove/ignore it (the prefix being added in-between a * and a&nbsp;# as an&nbsp;example) when sending a text message to the number.</P> <P>A possible workaround would be to add the phone numbers without the prefix to each of your contacts and choose that number when sending a text message though this could take some time to do if you have many contacts.</P> Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:31:41 GMT Christofer 2016-01-18T15:31:41Z https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/z-series/sending-text-messages-to-numbers-with-added-prefix/m-p/3451993#M81831 <P>Im a deaf user of a xperia z3+, I need to prefix all my calls with 18001, but Im unable to send a text with this prefix, in my contacts when I go to send a text it will prefix the 18001, how can I set this to be able to send a text without the prefix 18001, please help!!!!</P> Sat, 16 Jan 2016 17:46:11 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/z-series/sending-text-messages-to-numbers-with-added-prefix/m-p/3451993#M81831 Jamesk65 2016-01-16T17:46:11Z https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/z-series/sending-text-messages-to-numbers-with-added-prefix/m-p/3451994#M81832 <P>Hi&nbsp;<A href="https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/702895">@Jamesk65</A>,<BR /><BR />I'm sorry to say but the Messages app does currently not have a way of removing or ignoring the prefix when you send a text message to a number that includes one.
