Dialing formats

Numbers must be in the canonical dialing format in order for your PDA to use them for dialing.

The canonical address format is a universal telephone number format recognized by the WIndows Telephony Application Interface (TAPI).

The canonical format identifies the components of a telephone number, which TAPI translates according to a country’s or region’s dialing rules. The canonical format is:

+ Country/Region Code (Area Code) Subscriber number

Note: For further information on canonical dialing, refer to the Microsoft web site.

When you select File > Contacts and double-tap a number to dial from the contacts list, the Phone details dialog box appears, shown in Figure 20 on page 46. The dialog box provides options for the criteria to properly route your call.

Use the Phone details dialog box to:

•modify the number being dialed

•select or deselect canonical dialing rules

•interpret the number as a private network (ESN) number
