My OS is Windows XP w/SP3 and MS Outlook 2003 w/SP3, I have to use area codes
in all numbers. I'm faxing with a distribution list. I have to manually remove the +1 country code before I can fax from my list. When I remove the +1 my faxes send, but I leave the country code Outlook acts like I'm dialing long distance when I'm dialing locally. How can I configure my fax numbers to drop the +1 or can I create a dialing property to trick MS Outlook 200 ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I went to Contacts Folder, go to Actions, Call Contact, New
Call... , Dialing Options… and Automatically add country/region code to local phone numbers was not checked and in the distribution list it still has the +1 as the country code which outlook is treating like a long distance area code.

The area code rules are set in control panel, phone and modem options.
Did you check for area code rules in phone and modem options? This is where you tell the windows dialer (which outlook uses) to not use an area code. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Let's Really Fix Outlook 2010 http://forums.slipstick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 "Mike Gulf" wrote in message ...

Has anyone found a solution to this?
I'm running Outlook 2007, have no dialing rules, have the add country code unchecked, and Outlook still insists on putting the "+" in front of the number. It was never an issue before but my new cell phone provider doesn't accept it. "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: The area code rules are set in control panel, phone and modem options.

You'll need to remove the + from existing contacts but if you don't touch
the phone # buttons, +1 should not be added. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Do you keep Outlook open 24/7?
