MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2008How do I eliminate the automatic area code entry for local calls?
Whenever I enter a new contact with a local phone number the address book automatically enters my local area code. How can that be eliminated? Thank you. It can't. Masking of phone numbers is hard coded and based on your default dialing location.

I finally found a way around this. If I put quotation marks around the phone number (local), then Outlook will leave it alone, and the call will go through. I hope this helps others! > It can't.
