[dba-Tech] Foreign phone number

International phone numbers always start with two 00`s.
Like 001 for the US or 0049 for Germany.

After that it is followed by the national area code without the leading 0.
Like 6131 for Mainz in Germany. For a call within Germany you must dial
06131.
After that comes the local phone number, like 1234567.
So, from a foreign country you would dial 0049-6131-1234567.
Since the cell phone system is not bound to an area/region by hardware they
have their own prefixes by provider.
Like 0166, 0174 etc followed by the phone number of your device.

The number given by Rocky 016618745123 looks to me like a local cell phone
number without any country prefix.

It looks like Canada. The international code for Canada is 1 or 01.
