Update format of existing mobile phone numbers in outlook
Current format = (04) xxxx-xxxx
When synced with Nokia N85 or Nokia N96, the numbers are transferred in exactly this format. However - for some reason - the names are not registering when people call or when I get messages. I suspect that this is because the numbers provided by the movile carriers here is Australia is in the format - +614xxxxxxxx. Note that the zero is dropped and the dash is removed. I can manually change the field to match this as follows Control Panel Phone & Modem Options Create Location = Sydney with Country/Region = Australia and Area Code=61. Then I have added area code entries (2,3,7) for the states I call most often and under these, have enabled the "Include the Area Code" option. Now in outlook, I can manually replace the '(04) ' with '+614' and can also remove the dash - BUT - I have 400+ contacts and I would rather not have to do them all manually. QUESTION : Is there a way I can automate this search and replace? Is it possible to JUST do the mobile number column? I have looked through Nokia's sync interface and cannot see anywhere where I could change the format during transfer. Thanks in advance. George |

... QUESTION : Is there a way I can automate this search and replace? Is it possible to JUST do the mobile number column? If you're comfortable with VB code, PhoneChanger found at http://www.slovaktech.com/phonechanger.htm could prove helpful. I've used it to make mass changes to phone numbers. I imagine it could be written to modify the mobile number. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
