Number format

How do I write Italy numbers for a bulk SMS list?

Write numbers for Italy in international format: the calling code +39 first, then the national number. If people in Italy dial a domestic trunk prefix such as 0 at the start, leave it out after the calling code. A number written this way looks like +39 300 123 4567. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language
