International Dialing Adds Extra Characters

Extra characters will be added to international numbers when confirming the dialing

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

If you have your dialing preferences set to confirm a phone number before dialing, you might notice some extra characters on international numbers. If you have the phone number on the contact card set with a preceding "+" and the preferences set to start International dialing with 011 then the dialing string will look like:

011 "extra character" 4412341234

This is a known issue, current workaround is to dial without confirming numbers.
