The format of the number in Outlook has no effect on dialing. Your dialing
rules do. Make sure you enter numbers in canonical format:

Thanks but the only way to make this work is to make a new rule for every
area within the country. There are hundreds area codes spread all over
Greece!!!!
A simple button like always dial area code would have made the job, like it
does it with other programs like winfax.
Is there any other way to say to outlook to always dial all area codes than
me go and make manually a few hundreds of rules?

Thanks and regards,

Christos

You should ask in a telephony group about rules to control dialing in your
area. This is not an Outlook issue.
