Thank you for your reply
I ment that the '+' is at the end of the number.

Yes it has. '+' means that you want to dial an international number. This is however not transmitted under this form to the lower GSM protocol layer. If you can access the TON/NPI, this is where the information is kept (at least the fact that you dialled an international number, not the fact that there was specifically a '+' in front of the number).

If you are working on a higher layer, you can also check whether the '+' has not been replaced by a '00' as this as the same meaning.

Hi
I found that if I give a phone number a suffix such as '+' , the operating system deletes the '+' right after it is being dialed.
Is there any way for a telephony application to "know" that the original dialed number had a '+' suffix?

Thank you very much
