I keep my Outlook contacts (for my PocketPC phone) and my BBDB (which is the master, of course) in sync by ediffing CSV exports of both. Both BBDB and Outlook are happy with an international phone number format of +CountryCode (AreaCode) RemainingNumbersSeparatedByHyphenOrSpace And the mobile phone services know how to interpret the + between varying countries of source and destination of the call. Works for me. I'm using planner/muse, which has planner-bbdb.el, but I'm not using that particular feature yet. Thanks for planting that seed in my brain!
