The e.164 standards for telephone numbers dictate s strict length resriction
of something less that 16 characters. The default contact form in Outlook
allows for a telephone number that is not e.164 compliant. This impacts
applications that interact with Outlook such as Office Communicator and how
phone number normalization works. If I were able to modify the default form
to ensure compliancy then the normalization issues dissappear.
