CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS

[frazzled]

when creating mail lists outlook is automaticall adding the prefix (1) to
local area code numbers outside my area code as if they were long distance
but they are not even though the prefix(1) is not included in the contact
number that i created

How can i prevent this

Uncheck that option in Outlook's dialing preferences.

It's a bit buried.
Go to your Contacts Folder > Actions > Call Contact > New Call...
See it?
