Hi all,
I'm using the TyTN in Japan on NTT Docomo network.
I often have to calll abroad but unfortunately, Docomo has had the bad idea of not using the standard "+" symbol for international dialing. Instead, I have to dial a ridiculously long prefix number ('009130010') to access international before starting the number itself.

So far, I've been entering the full numbers including the prefix in my contacts but I still have lots of numbers with + to convert.
Also, if I'm abroad, since I'm on a different operator's network, I need to use the "+" and not the '009130010'...

Anybody would know a setting, or a hack or a software that would allow me to replace automatically '+' by '009130010' when dialing (including when I dial from a contact)?
Then I would just need to disable this when I travel abroad...

Thank you,
Thomas

Could you just change your area code in Outlook on your desktop before you leave and sync it up? Not sure whether it will do what you want but I guess it might?
