Let's say I send a text message to a number of someone who is not on my contacts, because, for example, they just provided me with their phone number. Let's just say I send the text message to (305)xxx-yyyy.
Then I place a phone call to a different number, using ten digits in the same format, (305) xxx-zzzz, except that the last for digits are different (notice I used zzzz instead of yyyy).
I then go into the list of recent text messages. I tap on Add Contact, then Create New Contact.
On the resulting card, so far I have Contact Name ("Test") in this case, and mobile "+1 (305) xxx-yyyy".
Now I go into the list of Recent Calls, and find the call to (305) xxx-zzzz. The phone number gets added as (305) xxx-zzzz. Notice that the initial "+1" isn't added.
Why does iOS handle adding numbers to new contacts that were used for SMS/MMS messages differently from adding numbers to new contacts that came from the List of Recent Phone Calls? It's tedious to have to go and add "+1" to new numbers I'm saving from the List of Recent Phone Calls.
Below you'll see how the contact card ends up looking, in case my explanation wasn't crystal clear above. I have not obscured the phone numbers, and they are random numbers that I dialed, not my own. One of them already called me back and I simply declined the call with the message "Wrong Number Sorry."
Apple's forté is consistency of behaviors throughout iOS. Anyone know a reason why this consistency is lacking here?
