For Norway:
+47 xxx xx xxx    (mobile numbers)
+47 xx xx xx xx   (fixed numbers)

The mobile numbers all start with either 4 or 9 after the +47 part.

If you have sufficiently advanced typography, then the space
separating the groups should be a thin space rather than a
normal interword space. Unicode and a proportional font should
suffice for this.
