wait you already said you have that.. so are you getting errors when you try to return a call?

This is one of the ones that's REALLY pissing me off! Whenever someone calls me INBOUND there is no 1 prepended to their number. So if I go to call them I get the 'number is a long distance call'.

I have both the following set:
1) A 1 in front of their number in my contacts list
2) Automatic prepend set to enable.

This is driving me crazy cause if someone calls I just want to click on that record and have them call. Instead I have to go look them up in contacts and call them from there. Grrr!

strange especially if they are already in your contacts it should just list them back as contacts.
