Contacts Phone Display

[Ted Myers]

Hello, I use Gmail to store my contacts email addresses and phone numbers. Mobile + Landlines are eleven characters long. If I input a landline or mobile number both leading 0's get changed to +44

Are you making an observation or asking a question?

+44 is the international code for the UK, so (assuming you are based in the UK) this change means that your phone book will work while you are roaming to other countries - as well as when you are at home. I have always stored all my numbers in that format

+44 is the international code for the UK...

My reading of the original post:

If I input a landline or mobile number both leading 0's get changed to +44

was that Ted may be putting in (e.g.) "0044 1234 567891" and it was being changed to "+44 1234 567891", but I really don't know...

0044 is UK specific
+44 is international

Thanks all, just checked my contacts in my newish smartphone and all looks as I normally see them.
