My problem is when saving a phone number in Contacts that it
automatically puts a + sign in front of the number.
This is correct behavior.
I have tried
everything including unchecking the Automatically add country code to
local numbers. I have 480 contact with 2 to 4 numbers in each one
and when I sync with my phone the + sign prevents me from dialing
long distance. Any ideas or suggests would be great. Thanks.
Your phone should be able to handle it. However, see if this helps:

I don't think it's a phone issue as much as a carrier issue. When they see the + sign they ignore the next digit. However that does not explain why when I enter a number into Outlook contacts I can't find a way so that the + sign does not get added. I've checked with other and their contact list does not automatically insert the + sign so why can't a change it?
