Default MSOutlook 07 Contacts phone numbers.


Hi,

I'm using Microsoft Outlook 2007 to sync with my Blackberry Curve 8520
and I syncronized all the data to my computer sucessfully, Now I open my
address book in MSOutlook, and it's all neat, I go to edit a contacts
phone number field and change it from Work to Mobile and it changes the
layout of the phone number.

My original layout was 04xxxxxxxx and now its giving me (04) xxxx-xxxx

My question is, What do I have to do to MSOutlook so that when I edit
or add a new phone number to a contact, it stays as 04xxxxxxxx instead
of being automatically changed to a format that I am not happy with.

Thank you community for your answers and help in advanced

The address book view is never used to enter or edit Outlook data.
Masking of phone numbers is hard coded and has no setting the end user can
use to change it. Why do you think you need to?

Then your problem is with Blackberry. As a data source Outlook must use a
consistent format, and it uses the standard format.

Go to Windows control pane, phone and modem options and choose the
international freephone for the country/region. There might be another
country/region that will work also.
Do not ever click the button to check the number.
