Mobile phone numbers
I just installed Outlook 2002 and I was trying to fill in
a new mobile phone number for a contact. The window asking me to fill in my location details popped up and then changed the formatting of the mobile number. I live in Australia and our mobile numbers take on a different format to landline numbers. Is there are way to let Outlook know that mobile numbers should be treated differently? |

No. Is your dialing location set correctly?

Yes, my dialing location is set correctly. Is there
maybe something I can do in my dialing options. When I have a look at the dialing options, it tells me about prefixes, but the format of the number it shows (x-xxx- xxx-xxxx) is an American/Canadian format and does not apply to Australia. Is there maybe an Australian patch that I could use? Or is Outlook supposed to know this information already? If not, is there a way for me to turn off the automatic number formatting? I really appreciate your help on this. -----Original Message----- No. Is your dialing location set correctly? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Josh" wrote in message ...

Nothing I know of. Masking of phone numbers in Outlook is hard coded and
based on your dialing location. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Josh" wrote in message ... Yes, my dialing location is set correctly. Is there maybe something I can do in my dialing options.

Mobile phone numbers
Well, thanks anyway, Russ. Is there an address, either
in the US or Australia, to which I could send a letter suggesting this change for future updates to Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2003? I think it's a really important function, especially considering more and more people are syncronising Outlook with their mobile phones, and it does affect the way the phones dial. It's also important for users to just have the ability to display phone numbers based on their personal preference. Once again, thanks for your help. -----Original Message----- Nothing I know of.
