How do you write your landline telephone number including UK country code?

Answer 1

UK country code is +44. You must then put the UK area code, dropping the leading '0' trunk code, and the number. Do not use any punctuation other than the plus sign and spaces - no dots, dashes, or parentheses.

For example, +44 1632 123456 or +44 131 123 4567 or +44 20 1234 5678.

Answer 2

You need three things:

1. The country code, which is 1, 2, or 3 digits, never beginning with zero.
2. The city code or area code (if any). In mostcountries, you must drop the trunk prefix 0 from the domestic area code. However, in Italy and a few other countries, you retain the leading 0 on at least some numbers. Also, some countries do not have city codes or area codes at all.
3. The subscriber number.

To write a telephone number in international format, start with a single plus symbol and then the country code, followed by a blank space, then the city code or area code, a blank space, and the subscriber number (with blank spaces as needed to separate groups of digits). Use only digits, the plus symbol, and blank spaces. Absolutely no other punctuation is permitted: no parentheses, brackets, periods, dots, dashes, slashes, or any other punctuation.

For example,

+1 212 555 0123

+44 20 7496 0123

+39 06 1234 1234

+678 12345

Incorrect formats:

+1 (212) 555-0123

+44(0)20 7496-0123

+678 12345/6/7

++00353 1 123 4567

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
