Bug ID: 465496
Summary: nonstandard phone number formats
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.26.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_regionandlang
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Systemsettings added a phone number format, which is actually nonstandard. The
standard USA format, in phone books and diallers, is +1 (123) 123-4567. You
forgot the hyphen. Parts before and after it have specific names according to
phone companies. Maybe what you put is specified by some obscure organization
no one pays attention to nor follows when writing phone numbers, so isn't
really standard. A newer alternative format is +1-123-123-4567... so virtually
anywhere you see these written have at least one hyphen. Some other
English-speaking countries use dots instead of hyphens, for whatever standards
they use (you don't have either) and is occasionally seen in USA but of course
nonstandard here.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. View phone number format.
OBSERVED RESULT
Doesn't actually use standard format all phone companies/books, diallers,
average people use.
EXPECTED RESULT
Consider adding formats all phone companies/books, diallers, and people
actually use.
