How do you like to read a phone number?

[Tilman Baumann]

DIN specification for German numbers is AFAIK

+49 (1 23) 1 23 45 68

That is, area code in parentheses and each number block in sets of two, 
but from right to left. ("1 23 45" instead of "12 34 5")

Alternative variant for area code for not fully canonical numbers is (01 
23) ... (0 prefix within the area code)


Really a pitty that there is no universal method. But I have to say, i 
like this one pretty much.
