<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've had a small look at what is
presently in the data base.<br>
There are a lot of phone numbers in there! <br>
I got a time out when I tried all of NSW, and reduced it down to
Sydney and only nodes (no ways or relationships).<br>
Some 637. I had not expected so many!<br>
A small look and about half have +61 - leaving a rather large
quantity in 'error'.<br>
There will be a way of not downloading any with the leading prefix
of +61. <br>
It would be a small matter to write a script that would add the
correct prefix to these, being careful of the respective area
codes. <br>
(spotted one with 61 - no leading +, there will be some with the
area code 02 and the quantity of numbers would need to be tested
to avoid obvious errors/software confusion)<br>

<div>All the numbers I've added include the +61 and drop off the
leading zero from the area code or mobile. This makes the

<br>
On the tagging list it has come up that 'we' should be
using international dialling codes for the phone
numbers.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not certain how many OZ mappers would be aware of
these ..<br>
<br>
and I think this should be documented on the wiki page <a

Test<br>
<br>
How many would know how to call a cell phone number from
overseas?<br>
<br>
<br>
Answer<br>
<br>
Drop the leading 0 and prefix with +61<br>
<br>
+61 4 xx xxx xxx<br>
<br>
<br>
Same thing for 'our' local codes 02 becomes +61 2 xxxx
xxxx.<br>
<br>
<br>
I know my phone number additions are all local - no ISD
or even regional codes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
