MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2007Field will not accept "+" in front of phone number
I use contacts for synching mobile phone and pda data. Since upgrading to Outlook 2007 I notice that Contacts removes all the + in advance of the contact phone data. This is a pain as I store all my phone numbers in international format e.g +441234777123 and have to manually edit mobile or pda before using it. Any help appreciated Did you set Outlook's dialing options to automatically include the country code? Dialing options are accessed from the "New call..." dialog.

I set my local area code and that allows the phone number fields to retain the + character. Odd logic I have to say - how many people will dial directly from their PC Outlook screen? Mobile outlook on a PDA yes but rarely (if ever) a laptop or desktop. Mike > Did you set Outlook's dialing options to automatically include the country > code?

Outlook simply needs to know your location so it will know how to format the phone numbers correctly. Also, things like the fax service require international format in order to process dialing rules.
