Seems to have done the trick. I set my local area code and that allows the
phone number fields to retain the + character.

Odd logic I have to say - how many people will dial directly from their PC
Outlook screen? Mobile outlook on a PDA yes but rarely (if ever) a laptop or
desktop.

Did you set Outlook's dialing options to automatically include the country
code? Dialing options are accessed from the "New call..." dialog.

I use contacts for synching mobile phone and pda data. Since upgrading to
Outlook 2007 I notice that Contacts removes all the + in advance of the
contact phone data.

This is a pain as I store all my phone numbers in international format e.g
+441234777123 and have to manually edit mobile or pda before using it.

Any help appreciated
