My version of Outlook is in Portuguese, so I'll try trabslate the correct directions:

On Outlook, open Contacts folder. Choose Actions menu, Call Contact option, New Call option, Dial Properties button, New button.
Type a name, select your country, add area codes.
Close Outlook.
Open Regedit.
Access key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Telephony\Locations\LocationN, where 'N' is the number of the location we're just created
Select the location 'N' and change keys as follows:
'Country'=dword:000003c8
'Flags'=dword:00000001
'Name'=' 'AreaCode' - remove the value
'DisableCallWaiting' - remove the value
'LongDistanceCarrierCode' - remove the value
'InternationalCarrierCode' - remove the value
'LongDistanceAccess'- remove the value
'OutsideAccess'- left as blank
Open an verify Outlook - it worked!

Hi,

I worked fine with Outlook until I bought a Nokia 6265 and tried to add all my contacts to the phone list. the problem is that I used to write phone numbers in (yy) xxxx-xxxx format, and when I synchronized them the result was a 'yyxxxxxxx' number on the phone, which would not dial.

If I can add a '0' before area code (0yyxxxxxxxx), or even better, remove '(yy)' from phone numbers where 'yy' is the number of my own area it would solve my problem.

Is there a way of making this change in outlook without having to edit phone numbers one by one?

Thanks,


Luiz Horacio
