Nowadays mobile phones are very much common to our people. Many people use it for different purpose. The number system of mobile is not clear to me. People says my number is 0171,0189, etc. The 0 at first

comes for our country code +880.Ultimately if anyone says that his number is 0171123-456 then the real number is 171 1230456. I am confused because the mobile companies also say in that format to append a 0 in front. Will anyone clear my confusion?
