+44 code not recognised

[ralph-p]

Imported all of my contacts from outlook that include the country codes (mostly +44 for UK). The desire does not recognise these numbers when I try and dial - Is there an easy way round this without editing every contact

this is very strange as i have all my numbers in my desire stored with the +44 prefix before them and have never had any problems.
this may sound like a patronising question but are you sure the leading zero after the plus +44 has been omitted?

and also, check there are no spaces before the + and after the last digit. This can sometimes happen when exporting contacts.

I kinda had the same problem when I imported my numbers in from Google contacts, I had spaces in the number tho. Make sure you remove all spaces from any part of the number.

I concur... All my numbers are stored as +44 and no problems at all...

Easiest way to deal with contacts is to import them into Gmail and edit from there...
