Global Dialing Format

A method for converting a sequence of digits to a global dialing format, comprising:

• obtaining a first standardized country code for a destination country of the sequence of digits, a verification sequence for the destination country, and a minimum and maximum rule (MMR) for the destination country;
• comparing the sequence of digits to the verification sequence and the MMR;
• determining the sequence of digits conforms to the verification sequence and the MMR;
• formatting the sequence of digits to obtain a phone number in the global dialing format, wherein the phone number comprises the first standardized country code for the destination country and the sequence of digits;
• and
• dialing the phone number in the global dialing format.

At least one computer-readable medium, comprising instructions to direct at least one processor to:

• display a sequence of digits to be dialed by a communication device;
• determine a current country for the communication device;
• determine a destination country for the sequence of digits;
• access a database to obtain an exit code for the current country and a standardized country code for the destination country, wherein the standardized country code corresponds to an entry code for the destination country;
• convert the sequence of digits to a phone number in a global dialing format, wherein the phone number in the global dialing format comprises the exit code for the current country, the standardized country code for the destination country, and the sequence of digits;
• and
• dial the phone number in the global dialing format.
