In Russia it is common and safe to read/write phone number this way: +7 ### ###-##-## or (the "old" standard) 8 ### ###-##-## On incoming call or message the operator usually "tells" (on a somehow unrelated note, what's the right verb for this action? :D) the number in it's full form, i.e. "+7##########". User can also dial only part of the number (usually last 5 to 7 digits), if he makes a local call. The grouping of digits begins from the end, e.g. ###-##-##, ##-##-##, #-##-##. Numbers with less than 5 digits are usually service numbers, and can be written just in one group. Digit groups are separated by hyphen, but in full number it is preferred to separate the first group (area code), which is right after the +7 or 8, by spaces. The actual standard for writing phone numbers is a little more complicated and requires knowledge of area codes, mobile operator codes and so on. If anyone is interested, I could explain in more detail. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
