Default Remove brackets from phone numbers in contacts

I enjoyed how Outlook reformatted my phone number automatically but it QUIT,
now if I enter a 10 digit phone number with no brackets, no dashed, no spaces
it stays that way. Why did Outlook stop auto-formatting the phone number.

Outlook didn't. Provide the information that will tell us how you disabled
your telephony services.
