Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

If you have an american type number like 555-555-1234 it's digit by digit (you can optionally do the last 4 numbers as two double digit numbers)
If you have a french type number like 07 12 34 56 78, then you do each pair together, so double digit numbers

I dunno how it's done in QC but giving numbers by 3 is common in France

By 3?

Oh, weird, I've literally never heard that

#

And half of my job is asking people for their phone numbers lol

#

It's not like it comes up a lot
given your answer I would guess it doesn't happen in QC
And we rarely have numbers formatted like that in France so...

Hmmmmmm

Asked my roommate and she said "only boomers do that, I've never heard anyone under 60 do that"
But we both agreed that the exception would be for 1-800 numbers

it would personally feel weird to give any sequence of numbers like a phone number or a wifi password using individual digits

oh wow, thank you!

#

would it be easier to go digit by digit? (or is that too awkward, im from Uk)

If people understand, it'll be fine. Practicing numbers is worth it though. Have a look at the app "Languish" if you're struggling

#

It uses the French French numbering though, not the system all other French speaking countries use though
