This was tangentially addressed on 5/19/05 by "grabeard" and answered by Russ
Valentine. Grabeard's question was how to remove the (1) prefix from local
'phone numbers. Russ replied tough, can't be done for existing numbers.
Problem is, I can not enter a NEW local 'phone number w/o the (1) appearing.
Is this a T.S. situation forcing one to edit each and every contact 'phone
number every time one sync's Outlook w/ one's cell 'phone? I have a
Blackberry7280 and every time I sync and place new numbers into OUtlook
(numbers entered into the 'berry w/o (1) in front of a local number) Outlook
places that darn (1) as a prefix.
Also, in reference to Russ's contention that the (0) one has to place in
front of a long distance 'phone number not being "part of the 'phone number.
It's a "trunk line prefix": I'd like to see anyone in the U.S. dial a long
distance 'phone number w/o first dialing (0). In real life terms, it is a
part of any long distance number. You can not make a connection with out it.
Neither of these MS Outlook "features" are user friendly.
Any fix or work around for the (1) appearing in front of every 7 digit local
number I enter into Outlook? Or should I revert to Outlook Express and
Windows Address Book?
