For multiple countries ...
Authored by: sellout on Jul 26, '04 02:52:08PM

I have something similar in my setup. I have phone numbers from a number of different countries. So, I have custom formats set up like this:

+1 ### ###-####
+44 ## ####-####
+354 ###-####

Those are for US, UK and Iceland respectively. Iceland has no area code (not enough people to justify it). I've noticed that the UK has a 2-4-4 or 3-3-4 thing depending on the phone as well (dunno if it's a landline/mobile distinction as in AU or not, though), but I haven't dealt with that at all.

IMO, Apple's formatter should allow me to do something like:

+CC AC PRE-SUF

Where CC = country code, AC = area code, and PRE & SUF are parts of the local number. That single pattern would handle all of my various custom formats. Someone else could choose to do like "CC (AC) PRE SUF" or something. It seems like the right way to handle it.
