Phone numbers are usually written in this format: +216-(0)1-XXXXXX.
This expresses the numbers used for both
international and national long-distance
calls.
In the example, +216 indicates the country
code, while (0) indicates the NDD (National
Direct Dialing).
When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used after
dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD
would be used, but the country code would not.
