telephone number: 555.555.5555 (m)?

This is a hypothetical US number. Have you ever seen a US number formatted this way? When do you use it? And what's the (m) supposed to mean?

*I* was taught to write it (555) 555-5555. Is that outdated?

I would very much like to see links to the proper format.

It seems like an number used from computer or computer assisted and (M) is Mobile.
