Outlook contacts phone number formatting

[vfclists]

In reading Outlook phone numbers from a contacts folder I saw that the
numbers are returned in a format that confuses and slows down
searches required by CTI system. It required a lot of templates to be
matched and was essentially freezing Outlook.

Trying to them to the CTI systems native database format too is
fraught.

I can break them up properly on both national and international area
codes using best guesses the proper dialling code databases.

Is there a way to write them back into the Outlooks contacts folder
properly formatted?

When you read the number, simply format it like you want to and write it
back, then call Save.

can it be broken down into international code, area code and number?

As you already mentioned, probably you have to guess a lot, depending on
what's avalable. If there's only a 12345 then it might be difficult.

This tool does what you're looking for:

Maybe you can contact the author and ask for an English version.
