phone numbers in contact list have plus sign
 

ok, so i synced my contact list between facebook and outlook using myphoneexplorer, but now most of my phone numbers in the contact list on my epic have a + sign before them and when you tell the phone to call the number, sprint tells you it can not call because of the + before the number. anyone else have this happen and how do you remove it and set it to not happen again?

Can you clarify..you synced your outlook with facebook and then outlook with your phone?

There are other syncing tools you can use to sync with outlook..the problem is that it looks like your software is classifying all numbers as it would internationally..

so...number look like this:

+1-(123)-456-7890

aka its expecting the country code number for phone numbers :/, though in the US we don't use that unless we are dialing internationally.

FYI: With myphoneexplorer, when I selected "use outlook" for particular contacts (in the prompt window during sync), it prepended a + sign. There's no + plus sign when I look at contacts from Outlook, but MPE is seeing one. In that prompt window, if you highlight a contact, you can see both your phone's version & Outlook's version of the contact data. Viola...there's the + sign!

Nope, got the solution. Speaking with the author of myphoneexplorer, he sent me the fix for this glitch for phones in the US. Phones overseas can dial with a +1 before them, but here in the states, they can not, ...at least not on Sprint. Here is the link if anyone needs it.
