Number format

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

If people in Tuvalu 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 +688 9000 123. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.
