Default area code - how to change?
When I start a new contact, it wants to automatically prepend (425) but my area code is 316. I found the option to change the default area code somewhere (before I installed a custom ROM) but now for the life of me I can't find it! Help!

Re: Default area code - how to change?
from WM contacts, menu>options, there is a box for area code, replace with your area code.

Hey man. Thanks for this. I can't believe it was that simple. I have been trying to figure that out for a while!

Here the registry edit:

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AddrBook]
"Default_Area"="316"

Hard road? It's like the easy bake oven..."Set it and Forget it!"... I set the registry setting once, and never has to set it again. How's that the Hard Toad? Except I don't use an easy bake oven...

Could you please explain this? I have tried adding this DWORD with my area code as the value. Is that the correct way to do it.
