[nabs-l] phone numbers

[Jamie Principato]

You don't need any of that on an iPhone. You don't even need it on most smart phones. That's all just formatting to make phone numbers easy for people to read. To send a text, just type the number out digit by digit. No hyphens. No parentheses. No spaces. Just the numbers. The phone knows what to do with it. If you fuss with all the formatting, you're more likely to make mistakes and fail to send your message. 

Best,

Jamie
