RE: @CHECK++ Long Distance

Sorry for repeating the question. As Roger elbowed by ribs, you are
believed!

I guess I am lucky. With my combination of Outlook, BitPim x.28 and vx6100
v2, I can enter (and retain) 10 and 11 digits numbers (with care) in the
follow ways: 
A. Manually in Outlook 2003
B. Manually in BitPim's phone book
C. Manually in the vx6100 phone
D. After importing from Outlook into BitPim
E. After transferring from BitPim to vx6100.

You probably know but: To retain 10/11 digit numbers in Outlook you must NOT
use the phone number entry/format buttons to enter the phone numbers.  Doing
so forcibly re-formats numbers to 11 digit format resembling +1
222-333-4444.  

For example, I created a test contact in Outlook 2003 and inserted the 4
phone numbers of 1-222-333-4444, 555-555-5555, 222-333-444 and 6666666666
into Home, Office, Fax, etc.  I deliberately did *NOT* use the associated
phone field entry buttons.  I entered them directly into the displayed
Outlook phone data fields.  

I then imported the test contact into BitPim.  After import, the test
contact had the 4 phone numbers of 1-222-333-4444, 5555555555, 2223334444,
and 6666666666.  Note the 1st is 11 digits, the remaining 3 are 10 digits,
and the hyphens were stripped in the 10 digits cases.

The Outlook format trick works in Office 2003, XP, and (pretty sure) 2000.

Hope that helps.

No ... I have checked further. I really do HAVE to dial 1 for all calls  to
outside my local area, and every number when I am outside my local area.

I really would like to see option of retaining the leading "1".

I also wonder about that original question.  With Verizon, at least, ALL US
and Canada calls are made with 10 digit dialing.  This includes local calls,
inter-LATA and intra-LATA calls, calls to my own house, and calls across the
US and calls to Canada.  I think the original querier may have confused the
rules they use on their POTS land line with the typically single format rule
of their cell phone service.

Can't help with the why but are you sure you need the 1 to dial from your
cell phone?  I know I don't

Hopefully this question isn't too dumb.

I import a list of category of outlook contacts using bitpim. The phone
numbers are all there including leading "1" to dial long distance. I choose
OK and then an import phonebook data screen appears. Now all the leading
"1"'s are stripped from each phone number.

So, how to keep the "1"???

ANy help appreciated ... TNX Kevin
