Hi Kris,
I store all my numbers in the standard international format, i.e.
+[COUNTRY CODE][AREA CODE][NUMBER]
As you know, this works fine to and from everywhere in the world as long as you dial directly via the GSM network.
The issue here is that I'm only using the GSM network to gain access to AT&T's back end system calling card system...and their back-end system is nowhere near as smart. It treats US numbers differently than all other numbers. If you include the country code in the dial string for a US number then the call won't go through via the calling card.
I guess they do it to save people from entering 3 digits ("01" and "1") when dialling the USA - makes sense given that they are a US company and the vast majority of their card users' calls would be to the USA.
However, it means that it doesn't work with CCDialer. :?
I guess it's no big deal to take out the "+1" from my US-based contact records...but it just feels wrong to store their numbers in an incomplete format like that....and of course they will no longer work if dialled directly via the GSM network.
