Standard telephone number format?

Yes, it is. But if you write down (650) 999-9999 I don't know if it's the US or Phillipoa....

[sighist] | [Agile Programming] [doxygen]+1-650-123-1234 Within the US and Canada, numbers are written (650) 123-1234. The 1 before the area code is implied since you need to dial it anyway when calling a different area code. Yes, but in this case they are dialing the international area code before dialling the internal area code. I can see why you would add it to your phone number, to show on your business card, but I don't see why you have to dial it as well. Obs: 65 -0 is singapore :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

Does one exist? I'm getting tired of all the different ways to write phone numbers, and have decided to settle on one. So I was wondering if there already was a standard (like the ISO date format, "yyyy-mm-dd") that I should use, or if I should just pick my own?

Yes, the standard is ITU-T Recommendation E.123 (02/01)

Phone number formats differ across countries :- US numbers go like +1-650-123-1234 In India (in Trivandrum anyway) we have +91-471-2555777 Nish

k, I'm not surprised that google won't show this. Originally telephone exchanges were plug and poke boards like looms. However lines were expensive and so many people used the same "earthed circuit". This was called "party lines". Two systems existed to identify the terminals (phones) on the lines. One system that was numeric where your number ended from 11 to 55 was two groups of rings, The other system was to use morse code as the idetifier. When I was a kid our phone number was 178M my uncles was 178R and the neighbours 178S, so when our phone rang it was two long numbers and when it was for my uncle it was short long short, and the neighbour short short short etc. There are still a few places like forest ranger stations that I know of that use this sort of system still, since it is so reliable.
