html - href="tel:" and mobile numbers



If I use tel: I should write the international phone code, like that.



61709



So far, so good, but I can't find information on how to write a cell phone number in an "international" way, if there is one.


Answer



When dialing a number within the country you are in, you still need to dial the national trunk number before the rest of the number. For example, in Australia one would dial:



   0 - trunk prefix
2 - Area code for New South Wales
6555 - STD code for a specific telephone exchange
1234 - Telephone Exchange specific extension.



For a mobile phone this becomes



   0 -      trunk prefix
4 - Area code for a mobile telephone
1234 5678 - Mobile telephone number


Now, when I want to dial via the international trunk, you need to drop the trunk prefix and replace it with the international dialing prefix




   + -      Short hand for the country trunk number
61 - Country code for Australia
4 - Area code for a mobile telephone
1234 5678 - Mobile telephone number


This is why you often find that the first digit of a telephone number is dropped when dialling internationally, even when using international prefixing to dial within the same country.



So as per the trunk prefix for Germany drop the 0 and add the +49 for Germany's international calling code (for example) giving:
