Default remove uk dialing code on all phone numbers

All my phone numbers in outlook have the prefix +44.
My pda on windows mobile will not dial out with this prefix.
Is there a method of globally removing this prefix from all the records, or
do have to edit them individually?.

Export your contacts to Excel. Than rplace "+44" with "" and import
them again to outlook.

If you've set the country code correctly, then you should see the correct
country code on the phone numbers.

Actually, your Windows mobile will dial out properly, as long as you give it
your country code (44 in your case) and area code. You don't need to do
anything else. In particular, you don't need to remove the country code from
the contact records.

With WM for Smartphone, it's under "Call Options" - should be something
similar for Phone Edition.

A follow up, because my first info was not quite complete:

Your Windows Mobile will dial properly as long as your contact phone numbers
are correctly entered in full international format. For UK numbers, that is:
+44 (aaa) nnnnnnnn,
where aaa is the area code of 2-6 digits, and nnnnnnnn is the subscriber
number. Do not include an initial "0" in the number. The "0" is a dialing
prefix, not part of the phone number. For example, this format is not correct:
+44 020 nnnnnnnn
The correct format is:
+44 (20) nnnnnnnn
The parentheses are optional - they'll get ignored anyway.
