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 CC: hanyo...@protonmail.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.
