North America (both Canada and the USA - I don't know about Mexico) use the
pattern 1-123-456-7890 Where 1 is the country code, 123 is the area code, 456
is the exchange within that area code, and 7890 is the actual unique subscriber
phone number. In the old days, several subscribers would have the same phone
number and the number of rings (e.g. 2 rings, space, 2 rings, or 1 ring, space,
1 ring) would indicate which of the "parties" was being called. This was called
a party line. To the best of my knowledge there are no party lines in existence
these days.
Cheers... Dallas
