Remove + from phone numbers

Store your numbers in full international format. Don't drop the + sign. Do
drop the 0 -- it is a dialing prefix, not part of the phone number. The
format you want is:

an Excel spreadsheet for example, do a mass edit changing "00" to "+", and
re-import.

I don't think Outlook is the culprit in this case. It appears from what you

confirm this, check whether the phone...
