Can't you do it through Locations, i.e. "Office" and "Mobile" ? I'm sure you used to be able to do that on Win98, haven't tried on XP though. The number stays the same, locked, but when you switch Locations / Dialling Rules, it adds the prefix etc.

Mind you, two dial-up numbers might be easier

I've got the onerous task of doing a laptop build for 1,000 machines. All going well, but can't seem to get the dial-up settings how I want them.
Users need to be able to change the prefix to the phone number, as it might not always be 9-for-a-line. In NT it seperated the prefix from the phone number, so you could lock the phone number and leave the prefix open, but XP puts the whole thing on one line, so I can either lock the whole number, or if I leave it editable, they could type in their own ISP number for example.
I can either lock the whole number, or have multiple entries in the phone book, but that could get a bit messy.
Any thoughts? I've tried the MS connection manager admin kit, but that's no use. Are there any third-party utilities for this kind of thing?

Dialing rules?

'Fraid not - still puts it all on one line, so I can only fully lock or unlock it.

Create 2 dialup connections then

Got 2 connections already, each using dialing rules for home and office. But the ******* want to edit the prefix, but lock the number as "it used to be like that on NT".
Looks like I'll just have to leave it locked.
