About Canonical Format
The canonical address format is a universal telephone number standard for Microsoft
operating systems. A number in canonical format looks like this:
+CC NDD (AC) SC
• + replaces the International Direct Dialing prefix.
• the spaces are required.
• the Area Code is optional, but must be enclosed by parentheses when used.
• the Subscriber Number can contain standard dialing control characters.
• any formatting characters in the Subscriber Number (hyphen, period) are ignored.
If you have telephone numbers in canonical format in your Contacts, make sure that your
PDA’s Dialing Locations are set correctly. Otherwise, your calls may reach unexpected
destinations!
