I store all my contacts' phone numbers in fully qualified format:
+ [country code] [regin code] [local number]

So a number 12345678 in US is stored as +112345678; same for UK is stored as +4412345678 etc. This is handy when I travel to different countries.

However, I just noticed that when I sync my phone with outlook, the leading + signs are removed. Has anyone else experienced this? Any remedies???

Oops... Isnt there anyone facing such a problem?
All the contacts I sync to outlook become useless to sync back unless I edit them to introduce the + sign again. And its a big pain since I have lots and lots of contacts

Is it that only I am facing this problem, or is it that no one else stores the full number with + sign?
If its only me who faces this, maybe I can start thinking in a different direction and try to eliminate the cause...

Please help
