Telephone Numbers in English
In English, we usually say phone number rather than telephone number.[1]https://www.woodwardenglish.com/lesson/telephone-numbers-in-english/
In addition, in England they usually say Mobile phone while in the United States they say Cell phone.
In English, we say each number separately in a phone number.
For example:
(721) 985-1234 = seven two one nine eight five one two three four
Saying 0 in a phone number
If there is a 0 (zero) in a phone number, there are two ways to say it in English.
- It is quite common to say “oh” instead of “zero”
(203) 105-2090 = two oh three one oh five two oh nine oh
- You can also say “zero”
(203) 105-2090 = two zero three one zero five two zero nine zero
