Default iphone 4S missing country code

hi everyone
i've been using my ip4s for 2 weeks, most of things work right for me except when i receive a call sometimes it shows "+4 (163) 456-78-9" instead of "+1 (416) 345-6789"
is there anyway to set up to show the country code "+1" ?
thanks

Most likely to be a glitch in the incoming data so there is nothing you can do about it within the phone. I get similar problems here in UK where the first digits (country code) may or may not be transmitted. It seems to hit mostly US-originated calls from the same user, and occurs at random.

thanks for your help guys
i tried "factory restore" few times but didn't help, now i found out the problem was from some of the VOIP such as MagicJack numbers, not all VOIP giving the weird #s. the rest are fine.
@AP, you mention "International Assist" but i can't find in Settings>Phone. all i find is Settings>General>International>Region Format, is it possible in some other settings?
thanks again

i'm sorry, i meant i can't find "International Assist" in Settings>Phone. in there it only has "My Number, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Show My Caller ID, SIM PIN, and at the bottom is Rogers iPhone Page"

Thats probably the issue since magic jack routes through the web. Who knows what number you will get......

maybe mine is 32 gb & my daughters' are all 16 gb ones
