Turn the international dialling auto-prefix feature on/off

When the international dialling preference is on, your smartphone automatically adds the correct international dialling prefix and country code to any 10-digit U.S. or Canadian number when you are travelling outside the U.S. or Canada. So you can simply enter the 10-digit number or dial a contact with a 10-digit number, and the call goes through correctly. The preference does not work with 7-digit numbers. This preference is available only for smartphones purchased in the U.S. or Canada.
