For potentials with attractive tails, as occur in typical atomic interactions, we present a simple formula for the s-wave phase shift {delta}{sub 0}. It exposes a universal dependence of {delta}{sub 0}(E) on the potential tail and the influence of effects specific to a given potential, which enter via the scattering length a, or equivalently, the noninteger part {Delta}{sub th} of the threshold quantum number n{sub th}. The formula accurately reproduces {delta}{sub 0}(E) from threshold up to the semiclassical regime, far beyond the validity of the effective-range expansion. We derive the tail functions occurring in the formula for {delta}{sub 0}(E) and demonstrate the validity of the formula for attractive potential tails proportional to 1/r{sup 6} or to 1/r{sup 4}, and also for a mixed potential tail consisting of a 1/r{sup 4} term together with a non-negligible 1/r{sup 6} contribution.
