how can I remove the auto dash (-) in contact number

[#1]

Hi all

When I enter the mobile number the auto dash ( - ) come automatically after 4 digits

Even when I tried to update number in the contact

why I don’t want it , because when I make a backup , the numbers will be with dash ( E.g. 1111-1111-1111 ) and this format I can’t restore it in another website or software

Any idea of how can remove auto dash?

Thank you

The phone book and its numbers I believe is governed in set up by what language you select when you set up the phone, for example English UK and English US have different phone book number settings (in fact there are 6 or 7 different English settings) so this could be a starting point for you to check.

It is found in Menu>Settings>Language and Keyboard>Locale
