I can help some on the phone number. International format for phone
numbers is:



So, for me, being in the US (country code 1), Oregon (area code 503),
with a local number of 287-1003:

+1 503 287 1003

The only allowed seperator is a space. The "+" indicates "place
international access code here". That's the prefix you have to dial to
tell your phone exchange that what follows is an international number.

I've got a list of country codes if you don't know what yours is.

The US/Canada are sort of tricky in that they use a leading "1"
internally on long distance calls. The trick is that this is an "access
vode" and it's a *coincidence* that it's the same as the country code.

The other problem is that many countries have one or moore digits that
have to be dialed before the areacode/citycode when dialing from
*inside* the country. to find out about that if you are in such a
country, you need to ask the telephone people *there*.


As for zip codes, there *isn't* an "international" format. What you
have to do is make sure that your *country* is listed as the *last*
item in the address block. The "zip code" goes *before that *usually on
the previous line along with the city and state/province/region.
