Synchronising Contacts with Outlook 2003

Ok I have been searching for a solution to this for days, but still no help.

As some of you might know, outlook stores telephone numbers like this: +country (area) number (eg +31 (70) 1234567)

If I synchronise with the phone the number gets moved to the phone in the same format. Of course the telephone doesn't support brackets and all, which leads to problems.

I have found a way to make outlook not use brackets, but it still uses spaces. The phone can handle spaces when calling, but when I am being called it doesn't display the correct contact person because of the spaces.

I would appreciate it if someone can help me with this because I am getting very annoyed 😊

Thanks!

Don't understand much about your problem. All my phone num has thefollowing format : +33 (x) xx xx xx xx and it works very well on the phone.

Ok I have an answer for you;

If you use the Country extensions of Outlook it fucks (sorry to swear) your phone numbers.
Better to give in the phone number by hand:
(e.g. NOT: +31 (70) 1234567 --> BUT: 0031701234567)
This way it saves the information properly and it can synchonize without any problem with outlook.

To be honoust do not use the Country settings for a contact. It realy makes everything a lot more difficult.

I am using my Nokia 6600 and my boyfriend uses his 8910i this way without any problem. Synchonizing never got easier.

If you have any questions about this subject ask me.

Ok somehow my problem just solved itself.... It suddenly works completely...

Thanks anyways.
