Motivation

This information:

  • is necessary to join correctly country calling code (P474) with local dialing code (P473) because it shows which is the part to omit (if any). e.g. in Netherlands is 0, so +31 joined with 030 became +31 30
    • if a Country do not have a trunk prefix, its value should be "no value" e.g. in Italy is no value so +39 joined with 06 became +39 06
  • will help to automate the cleaning of wrong format of local dialing code (P473)
  • should be stored at Country level (i.e. wherever is present the property country calling code (P474))
