German phone numbers consist of an area code, starting with 0, and the local number. Area codes are between three and six digits long; local numbers are between three and nine digits. If dialling from a landline within the same city, you don't need to dial the area code. You must dial it if using a mobile.
Spoken language was in existence before written language. Many numerals existing today were created long before reading was practised, so if there is any direction in a language at all, German does not "read" "backwards", it speaks "backwards".
