Dapper, Oracle and Command Parameter

I have a table in Oracle named MESSAGE and it has a column TERMINALID (VARCHAR2 8 NOT NULL); and there is an index for this column. There are about 300,000,000 records in this table.

Now, this works fine (0.0 seconds):

using (var con = new OracleConnection(connectionString2))
{
    try
    {
        con.Open();

        var parameters = new DynamicParameters();
        parameters.Add("PTerminalId", value: "04447777", dbType: System.Data.DbType.AnsiString);
        Console.WriteLine("ora - messages #{0}", con.Query<decimal>("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MESSAGE WHERE TERMINALID=:PTerminalId", param: parameters).FirstOrDefault());
    }
    finally { con.Close(); }
}

And this fails (times out):

using (var con = new OracleConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.GSMConnectionString2))
{
    try
    {
        con.Open();

        Console.WriteLine("ora - messages #{0}", con.Query<decimal>("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM GSM.MESSAGE WHERE TERMINALID=:PTerminalId", param: new { PTerminalId = "04447777" }).FirstOrDefault());
    }
    finally { con.Close(); }
}

Why it's so?
