Phone and Fax Numbers In general, you should ensure that telephone & fax numbers conform to one of the following format: +country code (area code) number +(country code area code) number You can use parentheses, spaces, hyphens or dots to separate numbers e.g. +country code (area code) number +country code-area code-number +country code.area code.number + (country code area code) number In general, the area code should not be 0 and should not start with a 0. However there are some countries that follow a different format (some examples are shown below) For France, the following examples are correct: +33 (1) 94 24 99 99 +33 (1) 94-24-99-99 +33 (1) 94.24.99.99 +33(1)94249999 +(33 1) 94 24 99 99 For the USA & CANADA, the following examples are correct: +1 800 852 9001 +1-800-852-9001 +(1 800) 852.9001 +18008529001 For Italy, the following examples are correct: +39.02.26830102 +39 02 26 83 01 02 +(39 2) 26 83 01 02 The following examples are not valid and will be rejected by the Contact Management System: 33 (1) 94.24.99.99 no plus (+) sign +33 (0)1 94.24.99.99 area code should not be 0 +33 (01) 94.24.99.99 area code should not start with 0 +33 (1) 94/24/99/99 the ‘/’ sign is not a valid separator for numbers
