@Benjamin that's a great point. I would look for patterns such as x2242 or Ext. 2242 and make an educated guess. These are cases that may require a second verification step. I would still display whatever the user typed x, ext, etc.

This allows for all i18n weirdness, grouping for comfortable reading etc. Downside, however: operators must be trained (or guided) to enter full phone numbers e.g. with country + area code. Lists generated from this data without additional formatting may look ugly and unprofessional. Modern online services are way ahead of every static library in figuring out how to dial such a number - butthat's not an option wihtout internet connection. | |
