Edit phone number

You can add your mobile, home, or other phone numbers to your Lync contact card. You can add parentheses and dashes for readability, but Lync stores the number in international dialing format.

Important: 

• Lync doesn't support pauses, extension numbers, or special access codes. Use the keypad to enter the extension number or access code once the call is connected.

• However, see the tip below if you want to enter an extension number that is displayed but not dialed.

International phone number format

When adding international phone numbers, type the + sign, then the country code followed by the local number.

See the examples below, or search for your own country code.
