How can I disable to auto-formating in that field so I can just get plain simple 10-digit numbers? Thank you. you can't disable it but you can change the dialing properties in control panel, modem to not use them.

Actually, I did try to change the dialing properties in the "Phone and Modem Options" under "Control Panel". But still, I am having trouble to get it fix. Here is my configuration: In the "General" tab: I have the Contry/region = United State Are Code = 215 (Where I am located) Nothing inputed in the "Dialing ruls" section In the "Area Code Rules" tab: I have nothing set up. In the "Callng Card" tab: Again, nothing. I don't know what else I did wrong. If you (or anyone else) can help me to find out about it, that will be wonderful. Thank you.

I have the same problem and other than editing each entry, I haven't figured out how to get rid of the '1+'. My 'Phone and Modem Options' are the same as Max, execpt for the area code. > Hello Diane, > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > > > > > Thank you. > I have the same problem and other than editing each entry, I haven't > figured out how to get rid of the '1+'. My 'Phone and Modem Options' > are the same as Max, execpt for the area code. Why do you believe you need to get rid of the "+1" (I'll bet it's not "1+" as you've stated)? That's standard international number format and current day phones and modems should be able to use that notation. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Because the my phone system doesn't require dialing a 1. Long distance and local are treated identically. and it will place the 1 on numbers that I know are local (like my neighbor's). > > I have the same problem and other than editing each entry, I haven't > > figured out how to get rid of the '1+'.
