Description

Creating phone number links

Use a three-digit area code with parentheses ( ), dashes (-), or periods (.). The following are examples of three-digit area codes:

  • (519) 555-0100
  • 519-555-0100
  • (519) 555.0100
  • (519).555.0100
  • 519.555.0100

Use a seven-digit number separated by a dash (-) or period, such as 555-0100 or 555.0100.

Use an 11 to 13 digit number that is preceded by a plus (+) sign for international phone numbers that include a 1 to 3 digit country code, 3 digit area code, and 7 digit local number. You must separate the numbers using periods (.). The following are examples of phone numbers with plus signs and periods:

  • +1.519.555.0199
  • +01.519.555.0199
  • +055.519.555.0199
