        I use a Nexus 5 with English (UK) settings. The "," key gives me "#" if held down for more than second.

          Switching to numerical keypad the "#" gives me "#".

            @cliffcoggin but the OP is talking about the telephone dialer, not any keyboard layout.

              @barryt You may want to check the translation:

                I'm seeing 'No.' on a Volla phone with UK English.

                If its a design choice I's say people in the UK are used to seeing a hash sign, and will often be told in automated phone services to 'press the hash sign'.

                I just read that in the USA its also known as a 'pound sign' 😧

                  @cibersheep I was not aware of this website. Could you please give a brief description of its purpose?

                    @barryt : anyone who wants to and has the time can help to translate Ubuntu Touch to other languages.
                    If you're using the UK version, and you would rather see # instead of No. in dialer app, you can suggest a change.

                      Oops. Silly me.

                        @alter Thanks for the information. I have made a suggestion for a change to the hash symbol. We shall have to wait and see if anything happens.

                              @cherrie The No. next to the 0 gives the same output and should work as #
