international number formats in Outlook 2002

J

Jon Crooks

Anyone know how to change the format that outlooks stores
international telephone numbers in Contacts ? Or can I
just turn of the Intellisense feature that tries
to 'help' me enter telephone numbers.

I sync with a Pocket PC - I have lots of international
numbers in my contacts such as '+33129664536' which the
intellisense feature in Outlook forces to
be '33129664536'. The problem is when this syncs with my
IPAQ and my mobile (Nokia 7650) the numbers go in
as '33129664536' which I cannot use this as a dialling
number so have to edi the number before I call it. GSM
networks allow you to put '+' or '00' in front of the
country code to make an international call. This worked
ok in earlier versions of Outlook

I have never seen Outlook mask phone numbers that way unless your location
setting is incorrect.
