x800 phone number format

[theoangell]

I synced my X800s contacts with my laptops contact list. Now the phone numbers in my phone's contact list are formatted (e.g. "xxx.xxx xxxx"). I can still use the entries to make phone calls, but when I try to send an SMS, I get an error message:"Invalid Contact Details". Is that because of the formatting? Is there a workaround, like a program or script that reformats phone numbers in the X800s contact list?
Thanks,
