      Hi Denis -- on Feb 14 2014 at 15:40, you wrote:              DM> In Russia we have       DM> phone nubmer such as       DM> +7 915 00 27 938.              DM> And You?              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...
