    Hi;

    I have WXP installed in my Laptop and I use Microsoft Outlook. I have many contacts in data base with phone numbers. I have a problem that when I do "Export" the contacts in "CSV" format (to import to Gmail), the phone numbers which originally start with "0" appear in CSV file without 0. For example, a contact has a mobile number "03214023900" saved in Microsoft Outlook but when I export it to CSV format, the mobile number appears "3214023900â€. Please help how to export complete contact.

    Using a leading zero before the area code is unnecessary for local calls. In fact, a phone number should never have a leading zero in that position. And when using a mobile phone the call will go through without the leading long distance number 1 before the area code.

    And if the numbers a "foreign" non USA numbers - just modify the CVS file.
