I've had a small look at what is presently in the data base.
There are a lot of phone numbers in there!
I got a time out when I tried all of NSW, and reduced it down to Sydney
and only nodes (no ways or relationships).
Some 637. I had not expected so many!
A small look and about half have +61 - leaving a rather large quantity
in 'error'.
There will be a way of not downloading any with the leading prefix of +61.
It would be a small matter to write a script that would add the correct
prefix to these, being careful of the respective area codes.
(spotted one with 61 - no leading +, there will be some with the area
code 02 and the quantity of numbers would need to be tested to avoid
obvious errors/software confusion)

All the numbers I've added include the +61 and drop off the leading
zero from the area code or mobile. This makes the number work from
wherever it is dialed and makes it universally unique.
So +1 to this format when tagging in OSM and noting this in the
Australian Guidelines wiki.

Hi,
On the tagging list it has come up that 'we' should be using
international dialling codes for the phone numbers.
I'm not certain how many OZ mappers would be aware of these ..
and I think this should be documented on the wiki page

Test
How many would know how to call a cell phone number from overseas?
Answer
Drop the leading 0 and prefix with +61
+61 4 xx xxx xxx
Same thing for 'our' local codes 02 becomes +61 2 xxxx xxxx.
I know my phone number additions are all local - no ISD or even
regional codes.
Thoughts?
