Every country has different local conventions for writing telephone numbers. Writing a telephone number in a different format will look strange to a resident, and may lead to incorrect dialing when area codes are omitted for local calls.
All numbers on this page are written for dialing within that country, and do not include any international dialing codes (usually indicated with a +). In examples, a numeric digit is used only if the digit is the same in every number, and letters to illustrate groups. X is used as a wildcard to represent any digits in lists of numbers.

“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance.

Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse.

—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
