Just exactly how does this work for numbers where when you're dialing internationally the leading zero is not required? Should I recording the zeros in the phone number or are the GSM networks smart enough to add that as well?Ie. In london numbers that start with 0207 or 0208 but if you dial internationally you dial +44 207 or +44 208 etc etc. If I record the number as +44 207 and I'm in london does It automatically prefix the local part of the number with a 0 for me?

So let's assume I'm in the states and I keep all my US contacts without the country code so the phone just needs to precede the number with a 1 for long distance. How can you get the phone to use 001 for international calling? Ie. Recognise the presence of a country code and know that 001 is needed in _this_ location. I think it would be cool is Ericsson client had a way to transform phone numbers as they were sent to the phone from the vcards that come out of Entourage. Am I missing something?In your Ericcson's phonebook (or any cellphone for that matter) you need to enter (or edit) all no's. (including local) to include the prefix "+" (hold down the "0" key to get a "+" in a T68), followed by country code, area code, and no. The GSM system will recognize your location and the location you are calling and will connect correctly no matter where you are relative to the no. you are calling. For sync'ng, unless the vCard already includes the "+" + country code + area code + local no. sequence, you will have to edit it to add those once it has been imported into your phone.
