Converting a localised number into an MSISDN is a simple process in which the leading 0's of the localised number is replaced with its country code, for example:
| United Kingdom | Localised number: | 07956***218 |
| Country code: | 44 | |
| International format: | 447956***218 | |
| United Arab Emirates | Localised number: | 050541***2 |
| Country code: | 971 | |
| International format: | 97150541***2 | |
