Texts (SMS) Are sending With A +1 international Code

[midskool]

When sending text messages(SMS), to my contacts, They are ending up converting to a different format like if it were international friends. Because each time, the messages are being sent with a +1 international code before them.
Also because of this, my texts aren't getting delivered to my contacts .
And I have to often have to start a new thread with manually putting a zero(0) before sending a text each time.
I'm using the stock Message app.

P.S: This issue started when I updated to latest G900VVRU1ANI2 4.4.4 update.
Anyone else facing the problem or faced in the past and got it solved?

Why are you using a Verizon variant in Karachi? you should have one of the international versions.

Yes he has described the same problem which I'm also facing that's why I have already posted on his thread about the solution if he had found any.
BTW, You guys didn't face this problem?

Well if it is a GS4, then you are in the wrong sub-forum. lol

But no, I've never experienced this as I am using a VZW GS5 on a Verizon plan and network. It's probably because you are outside of the US that it's trying to input the +1 for you, and that's not going to work in Karachi.

Oops, that was a typo. I did buy a Verizon GS5 used.
No it was working perfectly fine before. The G900VVRU1ANI2 update created this issue.

Is it possible to Downgrade to the stock 4.4.2 Verizon firmware From 4.4.4 via ODIN ?
1 thing more: How do you find out whether you are having the Verizon Galaxy S5 variant or the Verizon Galaxy S5 Developer Version Variant?

I've never faced that problem. And I know you posted in that guy's thread. That was kind of my point of posting that link. No need for you to start a whole new thread of your own which is the exact same as that other guy's thread.

I just flashed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and forgot to do the NCG kernel thing, and then went back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 just fine. Worth a shot I guess. GLHF.

Anyone found a fix for this?
I really liked the NI2 update. Its buttery smooth and fingerprint scanner works really well !

Anyone?
