Adding TomTom POI with phone numbers

Hi,
I use the TomTom software on an iPhone as a back-up navigation device when driving rental cars or other cars not fitted with an OEM satnav. I just updated my installation and see that some of the POI pre-installed by TomTom (e.g. hotels) now feature phone number and email details in separate fields, so that you can call/mail them direct from the phone, which is a nice enhancement.
For some of my own POI data I also have phone number and email information available. How do I need to prepare my data (in CSV format) to convert this extended information correctly to OV2? And do the POI conversion tools here support the extended information? I tried adding a column headed CALL NUMBER for the phone numbers and converted that using the CSV to OV2 tool, but only got the name, latitude & longitude in my OV2 file.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Julian.

Hi
I red somewhere that you can add the phone >+999-999-999 at the end of the CSV line.
Cheers

Thanks, I tried that, but unfortunately it isn't working for me. :(
