I came from BlackBerry and the smart-dial setup on BB's had an option to append digits globally when a number was entered or called up to dial.
Example - if my address book contact number is 514-XXX-XXXX, it would add the "1" if the area code being dialed was different from the device's phone number area code.
I have 1100+ contacts in my Address book (Exchange Active Sync). Each time I dial a long distance number from a contact, my carrier announces "the number you are dialing is long distance. Long charges may apply" before it appends and dials. If I had the "1" in there, I wouldn't have to listen to that junk
Toll free numbers just won't complete at all without a "1", so you must add a "1" before dialing, so I can't dial from my contacts; I have to enter the number manually.
Android doesn't seem to have the same smart dialing as BB, so I need to basically add the "1" to every contact in my address book, or if I could, all contacts outside my area code and all toll free numbers.
Is there some way to do this, or some utility in Android for this? I'm using Touchdown for Exchange. Can't do it in Outlook 2010 easily either.
