Contact information (phone) not worldwide-friendly

[Ocramius]

This information is only useful inside the US, since the national prefix is not clear for non-us folks (must be +1 ...).

Additionally, non-us folks don't really understand the ROAVE acronym in the phone number (cultural thing, I guess).

Indeed, international prefix is missing. Aside from that, the ROAVE acronym works anywhere where there are letters printed below the numbers (any modern phone which was released in the last 30 years or so).

iirc this phone US only as well

Also, since we use the @ for Twitter, shouldn't we also prefix Roave with a + for Google Plus?

[Ocramius]

@Xerkus yeah, the phone number is US-only. @EvanDotPro said we'll need an additional number or something. We can also just clarify.

[archseer]

It's +1 for the US, I think. Just the correct country code is missing.

I think that would look funny: Goolge+ +Roave

[EvanDotPro]

+1 is the country code for the US, but the 855 prefix is a toll-free prefix that might not work when calling from another country. We may need a separate local US number (not toll free) for international callers.

[GeeH]

I can handle this if you'd like me to?
