Including the country code in the US, though, is Mostly Harmless, since 1 is widely used as a dialing prefix. A leading 1 digit flags to a lot of USA phone systems that the number to follow is ten digits (rather than a 7-digit local number). Most USAians are therefore familiar with seeing a phone number written like 1-800-555-1212. +1 800 555 1212 doesn't look overly weird to a USAian, the only thing that would raise eyebrows is the plus sign. Where I've mapped USA phone numbers, I've used the country code. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
