I want to set up O2003 to use a different dialing prefix (for cheap rates) when I dial a mobile (cell-phone) number - any way I can do this? At the moment it seems to have only local + international options.

How does this relate to MS Office Applications?

Well, O2003 = Outlook 2003, so here goes. In your modem dialer, instead of telling your dialer to always dial 9, for an outside line, leave it blank. Then in your O2003, when you enter the telephone numbers, insert the 9,nnn-nnn-nnnn for local and 9,10-nnn-nnn-nnnn (10 or whatever code you want) in an alternate contact number. Select the one you want and Bob's your Aunt!

I missed that O2003 was Outlook 2003 -- looked to my untrained eye like some foreign phone number format.

I already have a massive directory of numbers from my mobile phone etc so it would be impractical to change them all by hand if that's what you mean.

Okay, sorry! Any way I can do this using the Call-Card feature or something? I can't see any options but perhaps there's a work-around?

(Basically to get a cheap rate I'm dialling a massive 0800 no, then a PIN, to access.)
