Auto fill phone number

mumto2boys

I use Chrome to autofill on my entry forms and i only ever give out my mobile number. The autofill nearly always formats it to be 44 instead of the starting 0, my question is...do you change it to the 0 or leave it as the 44?

I change it to 0
Proper pain in the !!!! aint it, I've looked everywhere on how to change it but no joy

Apprently if you enter your number with out the 0, it will put the 0 in rather than change it to 44.

so if you numbers 07123 456 789 enter it as just 712346789 - not sure it'll work but worth a go? Let me know how you get on!

also watch some forms only allow set amount of digits so last one is chopped off if 44 starts

also some forms state "no spaces" beside the telephone number box and chrome autofill nearly always has a gap after 5th digit on the itv forms. would companies disqualify you for having a gap/space in your number without specifying it on the form or am I being paranoid? Surely If you're not supposed to have a space in your number then it would not be possible to submit the form. Thoughts?

Can't help but wonder if thousands of my entries have been voided...

To stop autofill changing 0 to 44 telephone number do not select a country from the dropdoen list when entering data - leaving it blank results in the 0***** number being displayed

Tried that. As soon as you have a form that has a country box on it, and select UK, the Chrome profile, very helpfully, adds stores UK in the country box

Ta all for the "leave off the 0" trick!
