canonical format for UK and when to use calling card

G

Guest

I have two questions about sending a FAX to the UK. I went to the microsoft page that shows how a US phone number would look in the correct international canonical format, but when I tried to apply that to a UK number, the fax wizard kept rejecting the number as not being resolvable as a fax number. Does anyone have an example of the exact, correct format for the UK? I tried +44 (20) XXXX-XXXX (as well as without spaces), for London number.

Also, how do I make it so that my fax wizard only dials my calling card if I place an international call? Should I only enter info on how to use the calling card for international calls, and then assume that the wizard automatically (via dialing rules) recognizes domestic vs. international?

Inside Fax Send Wizard, select Dialing Rules Check-box. Select United
Kingdom (44) from the Country List. Type 20 in the Area code section left
side of the number and then type the xxxxxxxx number (without any dash) in
the number box. Fax will compute the Canonical number out of this.

Thanks,
Anand
