Number format

How do I write Saudi Arabia numbers for a bulk SMS list?

Write numbers for Saudi Arabia in international format: the calling code +966 first, then the national number. If people in Saudi Arabia 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 +966 500 123 456. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.
