Digits get grouped differently in different countries, and the separators
differ in different countries. You know this, which is why you're asking, of
course.

Is it likely that the audience for a number in Belgium is not the same as a
number in RSA or Australia? If so, can you format the phone number to fit
the expectation of the audience?

I think the biggest challenge is with phone numbers that have an "initial"
zero that you dial locally but that you omit when dialling from outside the
country.

Whenever I struggle with phone numbers, it's inevitably a problem with that
zero, exacerbated by whatever long-distance access number (e.g. phone card)
that I'm having to dial first, to "save money".
