This really doesn't address (ho ho) unfortunate people whose first

Thank ghod credit card authorising software is so slack.

The world would be a much better place if everyone habitually quoted
their phone number +access_code area_code local_number. You don't
realise how important this is 'til you have to repeatedly find people
in various desolate stations dotted all over the world with scant,
unlabelled, and usually too few, digits culled from a unkempt LDAP
directory...
