Re: Phone number/iPhone
On your Mac in AddressBook/Preferences/Phone/Custom you can set the
format that you prefer for phone numbers. It will follow the
formatting you set. With a little refining you can get local,
interstate, international and mobile phones formatted the way you
prefer. eg
returns 1234 5678 use this for local numbers
+61 ### ### ### returns +61 123 456 789 use this for international
from Australia
04## ### ### returns 0412 345 678 use this for formatting Australian
mobile numbers
0# returns 01 2345 6789 use this for interstate numbers
The iPhone then uses the formatting when it syncs to your Mac.

Eugene

Phone number/iPhone
A few small points about iPhone. I'm progressively editing my Address Book/s. Am advised to have the same address book on all Mas'c so that everything will be upgraded with MobileMe. The question is the format of telephone numbers. Do they have to be (08) 9257 1577 and/or 0892571577 05 +61 (0)8 9257 1577 and/or +61892451577?

Re: Phone number/iPhone
Hi Stuart The question is the format of telephone numbers. Do they have to be (08) 9257 1577 and/or 0892571577 05 +61 (0)8 9257 1577 and/or +61892451577 I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure it doesn't really matter what format they are in And from the addresses in Address Book can you go directly to Google Maps etc as you can on the Mac's?
