There are no general rules for international number lengths. In certain countries, the "numbering plan" is very specific about how long a telephone number is - the US is the best example, where ANY phone number is area(3)+line(7). AFAIK Luxembourg and a few countries with a small number of telephones have rules as well. On the contrary, in Germany there are area codes between 2 digits (only a few, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt) and 5 digits, and inside those cities numbering varies wildly. Old lines (registered pre-1960 or so) sometimes still have 3-digit numbers, especially in the countryside where there is no urge to assign new phone numbers. A friend of mine has the numbers "328" and "1653990" on the same ISDN line. And then, there are DIDs with varying number length. A company I worked for years ago had 9559-X where X might be "0" for central, two-digit "1X" for department calling groups, "[234]XX" for individual phones and "9XXX" for individual fax numbers. No rules there, bad luck.
