Juerd you're showing your europeanism... :-)

So every database has numbers only within a single country? Not like any database I've ever used.

Dont forget that ALL of North America (and the Bahamas) uses the same country code (1) and even more unlike Europe they use a standardized number format (3-3-4) _and_ they use extensions (which Germany for example does not).

I even thought about not filtering out leading plusses

Most North Americans dont know what the plus would mean anyway. (heh)

The fix: check length.

Unfortunately that doesnt work, the extension can be practically any number you like...

Now you know how I felt when I first got to Europe... Confused. (And lets not even talk about different dial tones and signals, I still get confused sometimes if it ringing or not....)
