Can I Disable Smart dialing for some short numbers?

Just got my new BB Bold and love it

I have a couple of numbers I am trying to get working (ie "511pp4951*). This happens to be traffic for the boston area.

In general I like the help I get from smart dialing, but it adds the country code and and area code to these if I dial from contacts.  Is there a way to stop smart dialing for individual numbers like these?

Thanks in advance

Device software is 4.6

Running from BES

Bold 9000 on AT&T

you can't disable Smart Dialing for some numbers.
what you have to do is find the full number for those short numbers.

try on the internet, I just found this for instance : http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/511/locations/boston.htm

Not a Blackberry solution, but great out of the box thinking!  I like being able to keep my smart dialing turned on.

Thanks!

This is really a headeache. It is a simple thing, I just don't want smart dialing option as it is irritating me more often then serving the desired purpose.

 

This is rediculous, I can not simply disable the unwanted option.
