eg - 555-201-1234, 1234, 2, 555-501-3456#
What would be the benefit of doing that? This is the method that a few of the WinMo 'calling card' type apps use. But it takes longer, and I can't imagine doing that for all of my contacts manually. It's even a bit of a pain to store the (406) number for texting with Handcent.
