    There is a rule to format phone number when you typed in MOC. Example:
    normalization rule: ^8()\d{4}$
    translation: +142512
    result: +14251285555
    interesting part is when you type phone in MOC example 85555
    and phone number is formating like this +1 (425) 128-5555
    My question is: where is this formatin rule because i use international calls begin with 0 and this kind of formating work only with pfone numbers begin with 1

    Hello Mihail,

    Hope that I understood your question/issue.
    When you are dialing a North America number, OCs will always normalize these numbers with the US format: +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
    This may be surprising but this is normal. But the actual number that will be sent over the Mediation Server, Gateway or PSTN will be +1xxxxxxxxxx.
    This is the way how OCS is hard coded. Noway to remove this behavior.

    If you are dialing any other international number (not a Norteh America number) then OCS will not add the () and - characters.
    For example if you are dialing a French number starting with +33 then OCS will keep every thing and will not add the () and - characters.

    Hi Mihail,
    So just to clarify what you are looking to do, you would like the users to dial a 5 digit extension that OCS translates the number to +142512xxxxx and then you want to prefix that number 2 with a 0 to dial an international number.

    Is that right?

    Hi Matt,

    Sori if i was unklear. I try to explain more practical my question.
    Ok, when i type 5 digit numbers begin with 8 (rule ^8()\d{4}$) in text line in MOC under is displayed row with +1 (425) 128-5555 in left side and button to dial in right side.
    When i rewrite rules to fit my area rule just add prefix and do not put space and brackets and dash.

    My conclusion: when telephone number begin witn +1 then MOC format numbers with space brackets end dash. 
    Is there way to format phone numbers not begining with +1?

    Mihail

    Are you using Enterprise Voice normalization rules or Addess book normalization rules?  I can't tell if you mean to normale numbers using the 425 area code prefix (Redmond, Washington) or you are just using a generic example in your question.  It almost sounds like to me that you have enabled the Sample_ Addres Book normalization file and are using some of those sample rules.

    It looks like he is getting hung up on the  spaces and ( ) .

    In my experience, standard US numbers will be formatted like this. However when you throw in a 9 as an outside access code, or start any international number formatting they will not be formatted with spaces and brackets, might be something to make this happen with MOC versions, but in all of my experiences this has been the case.

    Is that what you were asking about?

    First i give this examples becouse it's from virtual machines downloaded from MS and preconfigured rules for Redmond. I look for somting in  normalization rules but everything is by default. Then i create rule on my production environment to add +142512 and result was the same: phone was formated like this +1 (425) 128-5555. Is there settings on windows for phone formating or MOC is hardcoded to format only US (+1) phones.
    Randy gat the situation correct.

    i am not sure if i understand you very well.

    but if you are storing your number in Active Directory with (),- and spaces, then you want to remove this from the communicator so you have to check the below article for Jeff; which explains how you can do so using Sample_ Addres Book normalization file

    Hi Mihail,

    OK. First of all:
    You have written that you have a normalization rule as below:
      normalization rule: ^8()\d{4}$
      translation: +142512
      result: +14251285555

    I think it is a mistake. It should not be working. I gues that you should have instead:

      normalization rule: ^8(\d{4})$
      translation: +142512$1
      result: +14251285555

    Right, the testing tool within the Normalization wizard provide you the right E.164 format number: +14251285555
    But if you dial the same number (85555) from the communicator, it gives you +1 (425) 128-5555. As I said, it is a "normal" behavior for a North American number.

    Now, if you change your normalization rule

    From:

      normalization rule: ^8(\d{4})$
      translation: +142512$1
      result: +14251285555

    To:

      normalization rule: ^8(\d{4})$
      translation: +3342512$1
      result: +334251285555

    Then when dialing from MOC 85555 you will get the number normalized as +334251285555

    Hope it could help.
