In response to the question on how to display international
telephone numbers:

The CCITT standard method for displaying telephone
numbers is as follows.
First example a number in the Netherlands

 National: (070) 75 11 11
--------------------------
 Internat:  +31 75 11 11

Second example a US number:

 National: 1 (201) 555-1111
----------------------------
 Internat: +1 201 555 1111

Note that above the line is the normal way a number is
displayed within the country, and is the dialing sequence you
would use when you were there.
Below the line is how you would dial if you were in another
country dialing abroad.
Th sequence is: country code, area (or city) code, and local
number. It does not include the numbers you need for international
access, ie in the US 011 or 001.

I included the example from the Netherlands, because in the US
the country code is "1", and the access to the long distance network
also happens to be "1".

When displaying the international number, no dashes or parentheses
are used.
