Plus signs for other countries...

[orenaim]

Hey,

I need to organize all my contacts into outlook 2003. I have the same
issue mentioned across here with the disappearing plus sign - when
trying to set a contacts number as "+9724222222" the plus disappears
and I'm left with the number (something my phone will not like).

I am aware of the "Automatically add country code to local numbers"
check box under the "Dialing options", but unfortunately, it is
disabled when choosing my country and area code (Israel).

So, is there something I can still do to get these pluses back in
place?

Thanks,
Oren.
