My guess, based on some experience at a previous firm where we did
conference calls with people in different European cities, is that the
people in Europe would understand the phone number sequence you propose.
(I'll defer opinion on the issue of the dashes to those who have previously
commented.)

Probably the only people who would NOT understand it would be Americans.
Part of that is our insularity, I suppose, but part of it is that we do much
less overseas calling than do Europeans.
