How do I stop the area code from showing up in the phone numbers of my
contacts. When I type in a new contact, even if I don't put in the area
code, my area code shows up. I only want the area code to be there if I put
it in.

I use Microsoft Active sync to sync my contacts to my cell phone. The sync
transfers the area code with the phone number and I don't want it there.

I went to dialing properties and dialing rules but it won't let me delete my
home location. I guess you have to have it there. So does anyone know how
to delete the area code in my contacts phone number?? Mary

Outlook uses your default dialing location. You cannot change that.
There is no need to.
