If you need information about entering phone numbers in a specific product, consult the
product documentation or contact product support.\n\n\n## Use example phone numbers\n\nMost phone numbers in our documentation are examples. To show an example phone number, use a US
number in the range 800‑555‑0100 through 800‑555‑0199. That range is
reserved for use in examples and in fiction.
Never use a real phone number in examples.\n\nNever use a real phone number in examples.\n\n\n## Format phone numbers in HTML or Markdown\n\nTo ensure that a phone number is displayed on the same line, use a nonbreaking hyphen
(‑) where appropriate in HTML or Markdown.\n\n\n### Example\n\n415‑555‑0132\n\n\n### HTML\n\n415‑555‑0132\n\n\n### Markdown\n\n415‑555‑0132\n\n\n## Format North American phone numbers\n\nTo format a real phone number in the US, Canada, and other NANP
(North American Numbering Plan) countries, use a nonbreaking hyphen to separate the area code,
three-digit exchange code, and four-digit number.\n\nRecommended: 415‑555‑0132\n\n\n## Format international phone numbers\n\nTo format a real phone number in non-NANP countries, include the country and area
codes. Insert a plus sign
immediately before the country code (no space); the plus sign stands in for a
prefix known as an exit code, which lets you dial out of a country. Each
country has a different exit code.\n\nFor more information, see the ITU document about
standardized formatting for phone numbers.\n\nRecommended: +1‑415‑555‑0132\n\n\n## Format phone numbers that include an extension\n\nTo specify a phone extension, follow the phone number with the word extension, and then
specify the extension number.\n\nRecommended: 415‑555‑0132, extension 987\n
