area code global change

[Bob]

Any easy solution to change area codes in contact manager?
Individually, it would be a challange. Seems like there
should be a functionality like find and replace in Word.
Changing area codes is a fairly common problem/event in
this day and age. Help appreciated, Thanks

The problem is that Outlook does not store the area code in a separate
field, making getting at it more difficult.

There are third party software add-ins for handling phone numbers that
may be of interest, and which are used at one's own risk:
