Not exactly a falsehood, but certainly a quirk:
In general, in Europe "0" is national dialing prefix, leading to numbers written in the format of:
+44(0)870123456, meaning dial 0870123456 from within the UK, and +44870123456 internationally to reach the same number (i.e. "0" goes away in international format).
However in Italy, leading "0" in the national dialing format is an integral part of the phone number itself (only for non-mobile numbers); for example:
(+39)051234567 meaning 051234567 when dialing from within IT, and +39051234567 internationally (i.e. "0" stays in international format).
EDIT: Mobile numbers in Italy don't have leading "0", and could only be dialed in full/international format either within the country, or internationally.
- Symbiote 11y agoI think the +4412345... form, or +39012345... work in all situations. But, outside small countries many people will be unfamiliar with a number in this format.
