Every phone number should include the country code (with the + sign) so people in another country can call/text without having to look for the special numbers to go international. Make sure you always set your mobile number in the correct format.
4XXXXXXXXX
❌ Figure: Bad example - Hard to read
(4XX) XXX-XXXX
❌ Figure: Bad example - Readable but missing international format
+61 (4XX) XXX-XXX
✅ Figure: OK example - International format and readable but brackets/dashes aren't necessary
+61 4XX XXX XXXX
✅ Figure: Good example - Nice and clean with spaces
Note:
In Australia, mobile numbers are in the format +61 4XX XXX XXX
In China, mobile numbers are in the format +86 1XX XXXX XXXX
