Long Distance and International Calls

When storing long distance and international numbers in Outlook or typing them on the
telephony toolbar, certain formatting must be remembered or they become invalid when
dialled. These numbers must be in format understood by the telephony equipment. The
application uses Windows dialling preferences.
There are four parts to such a number:
1. The international dialling prefix
The Microsoft Operating System software stores the international prefix in the Phone and
Modem Options under the Control Panel. After the user enters the location he or she is
dialling from, the proper international prefix is saved, so the user does not need to enter it
for any international calls made from the computer.
It is not used if the user dials a number within his or her country.
2. The international or country code
Prefix this number with + so the telephony equipment understands this is not a local call.
This number determines whether the international dialling prefix should be appended to
the number before it is dialled.
3. The area code
Enclose this number with () so the telephony equipment understands this is the area code
portion of the number.
4. The subscriber number
This last sequence of digits may not contain periods or dashes such as 765-4321 or
765.4321
For example, in North America the number:
1.613.765.4321 must be entered as +1 (613) 7654321
011.45.75.123456 must be entered as +45 (75) 123456
In the United Kingdom, this would be:
0.29.123456 must be entered as +0 (29) 123456
00.966.1.123456 must be entered as +966 (1) 123456
