It must be about the only phone in the world that won't then!

When you say long distance, do you mean international? A mobile phone will
interpret the + as a double zero, so if you've put the plus in front of
numbers that don't need "00" at the beginning, or have also included a "00",
or have included any other digit that should be removed when dialling
internationally, that's why your phone can't cope - it's not the phone, it's
the number.

For the UK as an example, the international code is 0044, the area code is
formatted as 01234 but has the leading 0 dropped for international dialling,
and the number is formatted as 567890. So ALL my numbers get entered in the
format "+44 1234 567890". I've never ever come across any mobile phone that
can't deal with that, and the network will charge at local rate if it's not
actually an international call, even though you're using an international
number format.

I have no idea how to change a batch of numbers automatically, but suspect
that there will be some kind of add-on out there to do it.

I need to remove the "+" symbol in front of my long distance phone numbers
because my palm pilot phone won't dial long distance numbers with a plus
symbol in front of them.
