TL;DR summary:
I'm happy to use E.123 international format for phone numbers or local
format if they are not able to be called from overseas.

It depends. Like most things it gets complicated and boring very
quickly. So strap yourself in... If you look at the wiki entry:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:phone
phone numbers can be in E.164, E.123, DIN5008, RFC3966, or NANP "format".
Turns out that E.164 and NANP are not formats rather they are standards
for numbering plans. E.164 is for allocating international numbers and
NANP for allocating numbers in North America.
RFC3966 is a standard for creating URIs of telephone numbers so they end
up in the form tel:+1-201-555-0123 (and I doubt anyone has used this in
OSM).
E.123 and DIN5008 (part of) define formats for writing down phone
numbers. They both have a international and national format but the wiki
doesn't say which one to use.
There is certainly a mixed bag in Tasmania (only checked nodes)
+61 (0)3 6220 7100
So this one is not OK (it's a way that some Germans and Austrians write
international numbers but is not in E.123 or DIN5008)
+61 03 6239 3095
Not OK (extra zero in front of 3)
+61 3 6109 4621
OK (matches E.123 and DIN5008 international formats)
(03) 6424 6762
OK (E.123 national format)
+61363313968
OK (E.123 international doesn't need spaces. Not sure about DIN5008)
64282013
Not OK. E.164 number not in either national or international format
132050
1800 770 224
OK. These are not E.164 numbers (ie: can't call from overseas) but are
in E.123 and DIN5008 local format.
