So you suggest `phone:international` and `phone` beside of the other keys `phone:press`, `phone:night`, `phone:emergency`?<br><br>~ Sören Reinecke alias Valor Naram<div class="quote" style="line-height: 1.5"><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>Subject: Re: [Tagging] [Key:phone] - Suggesting wiki page changing<br>From: Colin Smale <colin.smale@xs4all.nl><br>To: tagging@openstreetmap.org<br>CC: <br><br><br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /></head><body style='font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif'>

<div>And the charge for dialling a given number is not simply a function of that number, but many other factors (source provider, time of day, day of week, source network, contract terms, ....) It is hopeless to even think of capturing that in OSM. Let's just stick to a simple number.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One distinction that may be useful, is whether the number is universally dialable. Some numbers (often short codes) may only be dialable from phones on the same MCC or MCC+MNC in the IMSI or connected to the same MNO. Is the number dialable from a random phone in a different country? Or does it only work if you have (e.g.) a UK phone?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think it would make sense to prefer universally dialable numbers. Often organisations have a free/premium number AND a normal number for "if you are abroad." The latter would get my vote if we can only have a single number. Otherwise we need some subtag so we can encode both?</div>
