In my country, we have to use a prefix before dialing an international number, depending on which provider we use. For example, I use an international calling company for which I have to dial 019 before dialing the international number.

Now, having to edit each and every international phone number in my address book to add a 109 would be annoying. And when I move providers, having to do the whole process again would be very annoying.

Is there a way to tell Android, "every time you see a +, just dial 019 instead"? Or any other solution?

(I use Cyanogenmod.)

The world would be a better place if every carrier/phone provider would just recognize the canonical number format E.123. Shame on your provider ;) – Flow♦ Sep 14 '12 at 14:48
be easier to just insert/add a new contact with international dialling code prefix with their number; that's what I do, so if I was to go abroad, I can dial the contact as the number is there already! – t0mm13b Oct 14 '12 at 20:15

The only apps I have found to be able to do this kind of editing are SIP dialers like CSipSimple and SipDroid. They integrate into the regular call setup and can run a set of rewrite rules and filters to decide where and how to place the call.

I believe both can do this even for regular (cell) calls, and even when no SIP provider has been configured.
