How do I save a number with a "+" symbol in front

It seems that outlook does not allow you to save a number with a + symbol for
international calls hence when syncronising with a mobile the numbers get
screwed up? Any ideas how to save a + into the number?

Outlook uses all recognized standard formats for saving numbers. Your issue
is most likely with your mobile provider. Outlook cannot change its format
at the whim of providers. It must adhere to a standard. It is up to your
mobile provider to comply with accepted standards.
