As international user, i would like to point out that many countries have 
totally different scheme on telephone numbers than USA. So if you put a 
checking routine to web form (for example) don't assume all phone numbers 
have same length as yours... This has happened with some websites and it's 
extremely annonying ... :(

For example here in Finland..

Local numbers are between 5 to 9 digits
Area codes are 2 or 3 digits (from 02 to 019)
International  prefix for us is 358 (I think?)

For example: (# represents any number, expect 1st can't be zero, I could 
give real working numbers but I'm not sure owners of those phones would 
like if i did so :-)
09 ########
014 ######

When giving these to foreign people country code is added and Zero dropped.

358 9 ########
358 14 ######

So it can be anything between 8 to 12 digits, and you can't tell area code 
apart without knowing local system.


And above does not take mobile numbers into account (those usually have two 
digit area code 04, then 1-2 digit Operator code, then 5-8 numbers)
