I am having the same problem with version 6.0 Build 6001: Service Pack 1
running on Windows Vista Business Service Pack 1 (i.e. 2nd and 3rd digits of
the area code are lost; 231-456-7890 becomes 2-456-7890). This happens
regardless of the dialing rule settings (e.g. disable call waiting, dial full
area code, dial 1, etc.). It happens when faxing using Windows unless the
setting is used to dial the number exactly as entered and skip
checking/applying dialing rules. I did not have this problem using the
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 version of dialer.exe. I wonder what
changed to cause it to drop the 2nd and 3rd digits of the area code. Very
frustrating!
