Newton MessagePad: Dialing Options and Personal Prefs

When I dial a local telephone number, the area code is shown in the call slip. I checked the Local Dialing Information dialog box and the local area code is set properly.

Also, when I dial a long distance number, a "1" is not appended to the telephone number.

Why is this?
Both of these situations are caused by settings in your MessagePad's Extras drawer. To ensure that telephone numbers are properly displayed, follow these steps:

1) Tap the Time Zones button in the Extras drawer, then tap your location on the world map.

2) Tap the I'm Here button, then tap X to close the window.

Also, be sure that the Country blank in the Personal and Locale Preferences is set to your home country.
