Telephone number cannot contain a country code

What causes this issue?

It is possible that the telephone number &V1& contains a country code
(&V2&
). The country code must not be entered at this point because this
causes problems when initiating calls, sending faxes or searching for
addresses. Instead, the country code is specified separately.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check the telephone number and, if necessary, remove the country code.
If &V2& is not a country code, but rather part of the area code or the
subscriber number, ignore this message.
