Cant call to any toll free numbers from Lumia 920

[Jithinmjose]

I am from india and i am not able to call into any toll free numbers from my lumia 920 which i bought from abudhabi. Is anyone experiencing the same or is it just me? Is it because i bought it from outside india. I tried from my other mobile numbers and the toll free numbers is all working well and call goes smoothly from same carrier BSNL when tried from my other mobile phones( android & old Nokia N82). I think some settings is messed up or some problems as i bought from outside India. Can someone help me how to solve this problem also does anyone else experiencing the same?

Thanks,
Jithin.

I have the same problem most of my client calls require toll free dial in, It says" the call cannot be connected to a number outside the united states", I bought my Lumia 820 from NOKIA priority Bangalore India, I have to switch my sim to my older htc to make that call....This really sucks!

Hi,

Go to apps --> settings --> Applications

Click on phone and turn off International assist.

Now you can try with any tollfree number, it will work. I faced same issue with Lumia 920 and resolved with this settings.

It will work for all windows 8 mobiles.
