http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_conventions_for_writing_telephone_numbers#United_Kingdom is about what i'd use - if you need to use international codes then just drop the 0 and add +44 but that's not how i usually see numbers written. IIRC 08* numbers can't be used as +448* but i may be wrong. Also there will be the whole range of shorter operator codes which people may need to save if they have a lot of different ones for different things on their network (I'm assuming that your asking about this for the contacts lists). Hope this helps (instead of the opposite), solar.george
