We strongly recommend using the E.164 number formatting. E.164 numbers are internationally standardized to a fifteen-digit maximum length. Phone numbers must start with a country code, following by network code and the subscriber number. The "+" prefix is not needed. Phone numbers that are not E.164 formatted may work, depending on the handset or network. For example, a Croatian number should look like 385981234567, while a UK number should look like 447712345678. |
