Can't dial '92#' service number

[Sebastien Bacher]

Using rtm-17 in french locale (in case that makes a difference). I'm a prepaid sim which instructs to call '92#' for services, or I can't enter a '#' from the dialpad (the char is there but not displayed on screen/added to the number when I tap on the key)

In fact entering #nnn# works, but doing nn# doesn't...

@tiago
looks like I can type in *92# but not 92#, is this expected?

@seb
are you sure the instructions were not to use *92#, typically the USSD codes all use that sequence

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Bill, I'm unsure if that's weird instruction from that operator

http://www.lycamobile.us/en/howtouse, " Recharge your balance " states " Dial 611 (or 92#) and follow the instructions."

The hash key is not being accepted by the libphonenumber component, which is used to format the phone number.
I tried it on android, and when the hash is typed, I receive a notification that says "call chang nye", and the number is replaced by another one. I don't get what that means. Also, if I replace 92 by any other random number I get a different name in the notification and a different number as well. But I don't know these people and don't know where this information comes from.

Can anybody try this on an iPhone and check what happens?
