Iphone phone number formatter for international numbers

Question

I am looking for a way to easily format numbers for contacts. Many of the contacts have international numbers and i would like them to appear properly formatted.

I have noticed the iPhone contact list fails to perfectly handle all numbers. One of my team members is in Thailand, with a country code of 66. When I type in the number, the iPhone lists 011 668-36xx-xxxx instead of recognizing the country code and properly spacing 011 66 836-xxx-xxxx Perhaps 66 is a country code that is not yet recognized by iphone.

So i would like to see if anyone has pointers on this and I am trying to avoid writing a lot of custom code to handle this and then support it as in the case of Thailand :)
