Correct Phone Number Format

[holdensupporter2005]

What is the correct way to write a phone number. I see many different formats written down. Some formats are just annoying.

Some of the formats that I have seen are:
Landline
(xx) xxxx xxxx
(xx) xx xx xxxx
(xx) xx xx xx xx
(xx) xxxxxxxx
xx xx xx xxxx

Mobile
xxxx xxx xxx
xx xx xx xx xx
xxxx xx xx xx
xxxx xxxxxx

I use
Landline (XX) XXXX XXXX
Mobile XXXX XXX XXX
Which format is the correct one and which one do you use?

Landline would be (XX) XXXXXXXX and mobile XXXXXXXXXX. Does it really matter but? I don't think there is a right way haha

[Astranomical]

I use:

Landline: (XX) XXXX XXXX
Mobile: (XXXX) XXX XXX

I concur with nathg though - it doesn't really matter which one you use.

[azzfox]

I use:

Mobile: (XXXX) XXX XXX

The first 4 numbers arent an area code

Technically mobile should be something like (+XX)XXX XXX XXX

I agree with the OP's preferred format. Though it doesnt really matter and I havnt thought a great deal about it.

Sometimes it depends on your sequence....

IE if you had mobile with double numbers, it might read easier like 0400 11 22 33 rather than 0400 112 233 etc... Or maybe those business with a word number? IE 0400 00 BATH or something

The is no right or wrong way, but I guess telephone directories have dictated the way we write out the numbers mostly.

They arent an area code, but the seperation of them was due to the time before MNP (Mobile Number Portability), where you could tell the carrier by the mobile prefix, these days with MNP, its next to impossible.

What ever easiest to remember like as to write down,
my little brother has his wagon for sale and we stuck the number on the side - xxxx xxx xxx

[SilentPulse69]

Home: xxxxxxxx.
Mobile: xxxxxxxxxx.

[Philthy]

Home: xxxxxxxx.
Mobile: xxxxxxxxxx.

Yep. I write it down exactly like I put it into the phone. I don't put spaces in the phone so why would I when I write it down?

My home number is easy as to remember... it has 3 different numbers and they are all pretty much doubled lol

[greenacc]

I use
Landline (XX) XXXX XXXX
Mobile XXXX XXX XXX

I use the same.

I use:

Landline: (XX) XXXX XXXX
Mobile: (XXXX) XXX XXX

I concur with nathg though - it doesn't really matter which one you use.

yeah i use the same

but i dont write the first 4 numbers of the mobile in brackets, only if i'm putting my number into something that could go international (which rarely ever happens i think ive done it once lol) i put (xxx)xx xxx xxx

apart from that

landline
(xx) xxxx xxxx

mobile
xxxx xxx xxx

[Astranomical]

I actually normally don't either...just for some reason I ended up doing it without thinking about it.

if im sellin shit on the net i use
MOBILE : XX XX XX XX XX
HOME: XX XXX XXX

other wise just normal: XXXXXXXX

I work for telstra and use different combinations everday. I usually just use whichever format is easier to read, depending on what I'm doing.
