Dialer problem

[coe62]

Hi all

Sorry for the potentially newbie question

Loving my Hero BUT I'm having a problem with the dialer where it is actually dialing the zero each time in a contact with a full international format ie +44(0)12345678 number

The result is that the adddress book entry +44(0)12345678 is dialed as +44012345678. In my blackberry and WinMo phones the dialer knew to ignore anything in brackets ir "(0)" but the Hero doesnt seem to do this.

Is there a setting I'm missing to fix this - I certainly dont want to go through some 700+ contacts and change all the mobile phone entries

Thanks in advance

I’ve never heard of a phone dialler ignoring (o) before so I suspect that was unique to Blackberry… I’ve always found it a bit odd putting +44(0)1234 567891 as a number. It should either be 01234 567891 or +441234 567891. I am not trying to be deliberately unhelpful Coe. More a case of serving a warning to others.
If you export you contacts list as a .csv document you can quickly remove all the (0)’s and then load the file into Google contacts… This (in theory) should only take you a couple of minutes…

Hi nigeve
Thanks for the input ... and in no way unhelpful ... all comments are greatfully received.
My blackberry happily handles the +44(0)12345678 format however its equally happy with +4412345678 so I've gone for the export and edit of my contacts list.
Cheers
