any number of digits are possible, but apparently there is a standard
that says the minimum is 7 and the maximum "should not exceed" 15, and
the nation part should not exceed 12. Then apparently you can add
additional codes for the system at the far end, which all adds up to a
potential maximum
So a 13 digit number is possible?

Except of course we in the UK have a really rubbish level of security on

Hi Chris
0031 is a call from the Netherlands. In this case as the first number of
the user is a 6 it would be a Dutch mobile calling you. It would not be
an IP as the dutch use a special range for it.
Any number starting with 003 or 004 is coming from a European caller.
(see full list e.g. her
0031 or +31 would indicate that the call originates (or purports to
originate) in The Netherlands
