Default Country Code +1 inserted in before phone number

My OS is Windows XP w/SP3 and MS Outlook 2003 w/SP3, I have to use area codes
in all numbers. I'm faxing with a distribution list. I have to manually
remove the +1 country code before I can fax from my list. When I remove the
+1 my faxes send, but I leave the country code Outlook acts like I'm dialing
long distance when I'm dialing locally. How can I configure my fax numbers
to drop the +1 or can I create a dialing property to trick MS Outlook 200

Default Country Code +1 inserted in before phone number

The area code rules are set in control panel, phone and modem options.

If they are set correctly and your country/region code (i.e., +1 for US
residents) is added to your phone numbers as soon as you tab out of the
number field, from the Contacts Folder, go to Actions, Call Contact, New
Call... , Dialing Options… and remove the check from Automatically add
country/region code to local phone numbers. When this is unchecked, the
country code should only be added if you check the phone number by clicking
the buttons to the left of the number field (Business, Business Fax etc).

Did you check for area code rules in phone and modem options? This is where
you tell the windows dialer (which outlook uses) to not use an area code.

Default Country Code +1 inserted in before phone number

Has anyone found a solution to this?

I'm running Outlook 2007, have no dialing rules, have the add country code
unchecked, and Outlook still insists on putting the "+" in front of the
number.

It was never an issue before but my new cell phone provider doesn't accept it.

You'll need to remove the + from existing contacts but if you don't touch
the phone # buttons, +1 should not be added.
