Smartphone and international dialing

Hi, I've got a couple hundred international numbers in my Outlook
contacts, and they're all correctly set up by country so that Windows
can prepend the 011 when needed (if I were dialing from Windows).
I synchronize those contacts with my SmartPhone, but when I dial, it
skips the 011. Is there any way to get the phone to know when it's
dialing outside the US so that it'll dial the international access
code?

Seems like such an obvious need... but maybe I searched for the wrong
terms or something... Smile

Thanks!

Hmmm... I don't dial from Windows often, so my suggestion might "break"
Windows dialing, so try it on just a contact or two first. Replace the 011
with a "+" sign- that's the GSM phone equivalent of "011" and it's only used
when needed. Every one of my contacts, domestic or international is in "+
country code (area/city code) number" format (i.e. a New York city number
would be "+1 (212) 555-1212") and dial correctly on my phone where ever I am
in the world.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a related discussion recently. But I didn't
have much luck using Google. I came pretty close using Google Advanced
Groups (http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look for
country code
in microsoft.public.pocketpc
