On my Treo I could add the local area code and when dialing a local number I only had to dial 7 numbers instead of 10. I have not found this feature on my new Tour. If it exists please advise. If not I think that it would be a good addition.

green call button
menu-options
smart dialling

enter country code, area code, national number length

area code

Thanks to all. I had tried that set my phone that way.It seems to work on some numbers but not others. I'll see if there is a difference between local numbers and local cell numbers and advise.

It will only work for local landline type numbers, it wont work for cell phone numbers.

Thanks again that is what appeared to happen. Answers all my questions.
