Phone number written in Spanish
How do I write a phone number in Spanish?

Here in La Paz until very recently there were only two prefixes: 121 and 122. So people would say 1234 con 2, meaning 122-1234 because the initial 12 was given. Now there are many more prefixes but the "con X" has stuck. Now we say, 13 con 7, 1234. Or 137-1234.
In Mexico City all area codes start 55x and phone numbers are quoted as 8 digits. The last digit of the area code and then the seven digit number. Also the eight digits are broken into four sets of two. 56-45-25-15. The full number being 555-645-2515.
So here are a couple of examples that I found interesting when I moved to Mexico.
Finally as Daniela says they are pronounced like this trece con siete, doce, viente cuatro for the La Paz number above and cincuenta seis, cuarenta cinco, viente cinco, quince for the D.F. number.
I hope it helps.
In the college text book, Panorama, they suggest saying the number this way.
1-760-332-4345
Uno, siete sesenta; tres treinta y dos; cuarenta y tres, cuarenta y cinco.
The "uno" is something you have to push in order to get everything else going.
Write it like in English or just put it in the the translator word form.
Well, in just simple number form it's fine. But if you want the words for it I think it would just be, "Siete Ocho Cinco, Dos Cinco Nueve, Cinco Cero Seis Uno". There is no real special way to write it.
