E200 / AS 3.7.1 & Outlook 2002 Contacts Issue & work

[Guest jscotl]

Outlook formats Tel No.s in the following format:

+44 (0123) 111 1234

Once sync'ed to the E200, this format does not work - I get a dead tone when dialled.

You need to remove either of the following:

- the brackets + the leading 0 from the area code

- Leading 0 within the brackets

- or the Country code +44

I thought that Outlook 2002 & the fone were now supposed to be fully compatible, but easy to resolve :!:

AFAIK, the proper format for Outlook to bring the entries over correct is:

+44 1914123456 (Newcastle number 0191 412 3456 - so you drop the leading 0)

A mobile number would be like:

+44 7899123456 (for the number 07899 123 456)

Note, that in my Outlook, you can and DO have a gap between the +44 and the rest of the number, but I suspect this is not compulsory.

It DOES make it easier to read though, both in Outlook and the phone.

If you are careful how you execute it, doing a search and replace in Outlook should be able to easily fix how your numbers look.

Can't comment on compatibility like you mention though as this is my first SPV.

Just a thought... The bit about removing the +44 and it works... This MAY be because in the phone itself, buried away somewhere I cant find now, is the option to tell the phone what your specific country code is, and by default, at least on mine, this was BLANK on a UK phone.

So I didn't want to risk messing my working numbers up by seeing what it did if I added it...
