Question

How to enter Contact Phone number in UK format

Hi, I am new to QBOn line.  When filling in our Contact info, the system would only allow me to enter our phone number in the International format e.g +44 XXXXXXXXXX.  Many of my customers are elderly and I think this may cause confusion for them.  I'd like it to appear in the standard UK dialling format of 07771 XXXXXX.  Is this possible?  Thank you.
