Phone Number formatting

[jasonchewy]

I've been finding this annoying hoping to find some answer.
Whenever I add a number to the phone, it doesn't get formatted.
ie, I enter "1234567890" I see it as "(123) 456-7890" on the display, but as soon as I save that number to a contact, it turns back into "1234567890" not as "(123) 456-7890". hence I'll need to navigate through the symbols menu and format it myself manually.

Is there a way to fix this?

This doesn't apply if I add a contact from outlook and sync, they're all formatted nicely. Only when adding number on the phone.

and I'm using WM6.1 by Gonzo.

Thank You

I'm just wondering if it's just me, or does everybody's Vox behave the same as mine?
Wondering if it's because of the custom firmware, or has this behavior been there for all the different Windows Mobile.

just trying to reel this thread back to the original topic...my problem isn't with outlook, it's with saving number with formatting on the phone by itself.
a "(123) 456-7890" number as seen on the display when I enter a number on the phone gets saved as "1234567890" when I choose save to contact or save to new contact, which I'll need to manually format it myself to "(123) 456-7890".

I have the same issue as you. But the path of least resistance is the outlook suggestion above.

Here's what happens. You set the locality in windows to international; sync your phone to outlook, take out the dashes and parenthesis in outlook; sync with the phone; and all the numbers are displayed 1234567890.

I've searched for a way to configure it in the phone itself to no avail. I've searched through several forums and this is pretty much the only solution. Think some info in the setup VoIP/SIP threads maybe helpful. But this is a much faster solution.

If you find a way to do it, post it here bro.
