Format North American phone numbers To format a real phone number in the US, Canada, and other NANP (North American Numbering Plan) countries, enclose the area code in parentheses, and then hyphenate the three-digit exchange code with the four-digit number. Recommended: (415) 555?0132.

You can use the ?+? symbol in place of ?011? if dialing from a cell phone. The ?+? sign is usually the same key as ?0? on a smartphone's keypad. Some countries share a country code. For example, Canada, the United States, some places in the Caribbean, and Guam share ?1? as a country code.

The USA country code is +1. You will add it to the beginning of any phone number you are dialing that's in the US. When you save your American contacts to your phone, make sure to include this number as part of their phone number!

International calling codes If you are calling from one country to another, you start entering the number with the so-called "international direct dial code" (IDD code). In North America this is always "011", so every call to Australia starts with the numbers 01161. However, this is not the same in all countries.

To call a phone in another country, dial 011, and then the code for the country you are calling, the area or city code, and the phone number. For example, if you are trying to call someone in Brazil (country code 55), in the city of Rio de Janeiro (city code 21), you would dial 011 - 55 - 21 - X-X.

An N-formatted number has an implied decimal point (for example, 2.01 formatted as N2 is 201). An R-formatted number has an explicit decimal point and truncates trailing zeros (for example, 2.123 formatted as R2 is 2.12 and 3.10 formatted as R2 is 3.1).

General: The standard American telephone number is ten digits, such as (555) 555-1234. The first three digits are the "area code," which, in the past, indicated in what part of the country the phone was located.
