Format string for phone number

Hi,

I am wondering if there is any format string for phone number. Just like
those dd:mm:yyyy or C for currency. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thank you in advance,

Sansanee,
I am wondering if there is any format string for phone number. Just like
those dd:mm:yyyy or C for currency. Can anyone enlighten me?

Do you have in mind Cairo or an other City on earth?

I hope with showing this that this is almost impossible, everywhere are
other telephone formats used.

In the small country I live at least 3.

As Cor said already, this format is different in different places. But you
can use regular expressions to define a format for as required by your
application.

At least something like +{2 digits} for country code then {some digits}
(usually not beginning with 0 if you added the country code before) for
the place and {more digits} for the actual number... but there is not
much else you can do about the 'format'.

I have a (Access 2003) contact management database where the user can double-click a contact's phone number in a form and have the Windows Phone Dialer dial the number. The problem is the number has to be in canonical format or dialing rules won't be applied (cf. MSKB Article 318575). I don't want to use an Input Mask because users like to put comments after the number, like: "985-983-0098 ext. 980 - Mike B." I thought there might be a...
