I say eleven thirteen, etc. (I assume the first one should say 1111, not 11).
For the phone numbers (they are in a different format where I live) you don't say the word "hyphen" -- you just pause. Double-oh-eight [pause slightly] eleven twenty-two.
Edit: Oops, Clive was faster. I would add that saying the numbers the way he suggested is also common here too.
