you can't disable it but you can change the dialing properties in control
panel, modem to not use them. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Max Lin" Max wrote in message ...

Remove both "1" and "+" in front of phone number in Outlook 20
Hello Diane,
Thanks for the reply. Actually, I did try to change the dialing properties in the "Phone and Modem Options" under "Control Panel". But still, I am having trouble to get it fix. Here is my configuration: In the "General" tab: I have the Contry/region = United State Are Code = 215 (Where I am located) Nothing inputed in the "Dialing ruls" section In the "Area Code Rules" tab: I have nothing set up. In the "Callng Card" tab: Again, nothing. I don't know what else I did wrong. If you (or anyone else) can help me to find out about it, that will be wonderful. Thank you.

I have the same problem and other than editing each entry, I haven't figured
out how to get rid of the '1+'. My 'Phone and Modem Options' are the same as Max, execpt for the area code. "Max Lin" wrote: Hello Diane, Thanks for the reply.

Why do you believe you need to get rid of the "+1" (I'll bet it's not "1+" as you've stated)? That's standard international number format and current day phones and modems should be able to use that notation. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Because the my phone system doesn't require dialing a 1. Long distance and
local are treated identically. and it will place the 1 on numbers that I know are local (like my neighbor's).
