Ensuring e.164 compliance in Telephone Number fields
 

The e.164 standards for telephone numbers dictate s strict length resriction
of something less that 16 characters. The default contact form in Outlook
allows for a telephone number that is not e.164 compliant. This impacts
applications that interact with Outlook such as Office Communicator and how
phone number normalization works. If I were able to modify the default form
to ensure compliancy then the normalization issues dissappear.

Ensuring e.164 compliance in Telephone Number fields
 

You'd have to hack into the Outlook code to do that. All of that sort of
thing is hard coded into Outlook. If you can provide intermediate code
between Outlook and whatever telephony app is being used you can use your
own code to make the numbers compliant, otherwise you'd need to wait for MS
to change Outlook to make it compliant, if MS ever does that.
