Entering the Telephone Number at a Contact

You can address faxes and short messages (SMS) directly out of an Microsoft Outlook-Contact.

Precondition: The call numbers must have been entered in a valid format.

Please take care with phone numbers, fax numbers and mobile phone numbers that they are saved in an international format:

e.g. +49 8142 47990 not +49 (08142) 47990

       08142447990

       47990

Special characters (e.g.: „/", „(„, „)", „-„, „\") should not appear in a telephone number!

Older versions of MS Outlook in some cases offer to bracket or to add 0 to the extension.
