Since the U.S. and Canada both use the North American Numbering Plan, the commonly accepted formatting of phone numbers is (NPA) NXX-X, NPA-NXX-X or 1-NPA-NXX-X. The 'NPA' is the area code, 'NXX' is the central office code, and 'X' is the subscriber number personal to each phone.

You can use the ?+? symbol in place of ?011? if dialing from a cell phone. The ?+? sign is usually the same key as ?0? on a smartphone's keypad. Some countries share a country code. For example, Canada, the United States, some places in the Caribbean, and Guam share ?1? as a country code.
