As I do not know which version of Outlook you have, this response applies to
Outlook 2003.

In Outlook, click on ActionsCall ContactNew Call...Dialing Options.

Toward the bottom of that dialog, you will see a box that is titled,
"Settings for phone number formatting and dialing". Just beow that title
you'll see "Automatically add coutry codes to local phone numbers". If there
is a checkmark in the checkbox next to that line, remove it.

I don't know if this will remove all country codes already in your contact
cards, but it will prevent any more from being automatically added.

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.
