Prevent Contacts forcing parentheses around NPA in overlayed area
The Denver Metro area has overlayed NPA (area) codes of 303 & 720 and doesn't
allow a prefix of 1 (Country code / long distance code). Outlook Contacts forces parentheses, (), around the NPA if the Country Code is abesent. If the Country Code is present, Outlook Contacts doesn't force parentheses around the NPA. Parentheses indicate that the NPA is not rerquired. Thus, if one lives in the Denver Metro area, Contacts displays local number incorrectly. Is there a work-around for this? Thanks!

Prevent Contacts forcing parentheses around NPA in overlayed area
Store your Outlook Contacts phone numbers in full international format, that
is: +1 (303) nnn-nnnn or +1 (720) nnn-nnnn The + sign must be included. This is because in the NANPA (North American Numbering Plan), the "1" for country code and the "1" as the long distance dialing prefix are, confusingly, the same number; but they are not the same functionally. The 303 and 720 are still area codes, even though they are overlays; not part of the subscriber (local) number. Youir numbers will be dialled correctly if they are in this correct format.
