   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
