● Communicate with foreign phone numbers:When adding a contact number, you can change the country code or area code (such as Canada: +1, Australia: +61, Taiwan: +886, etc.). Be careful not to enter a “0” or a special dialing code at the beginning of the phone number.

Take a Taiwan phone number as an example. If the mobile phone number of the contact is “0955-555-xxx”, when entering the number, in addition to deleting the leading “0”, you must also add +886 in front. When entering the phone number in the address book, the format should be For: +886-955-555-xxx.
