Your phone numbers are being translated as numeric fields by the Outlook
import translator on your system. Suggest you try saving the file as a .CSV
file and import that file to see if it resolves the problem. This is an
issue with the standard import engine we saw on some systems but not others
when the ContactGenie products were being developed.
What the Excel import translator is doing is scanning your first 20 or so
rows for that column from what we can determine and decides on whether a
field is numeric or text from that. You may also want to try putting a text
character in front of the phone number in the first row or so and see if
that will force "text" recognition for the rest of the rows you are
importing.
What version of Outlook (and Excel) are you using?
