Now, I know there are 300 million of you Americans and that’s a big market - BUT - we need phone formats that work for other countries! First up should be Australia - where the phone format is landline (XX) xxxx xxxx and mobiles are (04xx) xxx xxx. Please?
I believe a good solution would be to have a personalization option instead of a country selector, since some people my want to choose to add +xx before the number, some other 00xx and this impacts on automatic insertion inside sheets in diffrent ways.
(atm i’m using it to ease input automation by inputting data from a form, having it elaborated through AirTable and the output is on a google sheet, and i get the resulting phone number with weird formatting, so i’ll resort to having the filed set as standard numbers format to try and sanitize the data in some way)
When using Airtable API this statement is not correct. The API requires me to search for phone number in the US formatting Airtable added. When I search for number only without special characters, no results are given.
Hey airtable team - please add this to your roadmap. The phone number field is useless to us the way it works, even when I ask what country they live as a separate field and then do a fancy formula to map/cleanse, it doesn't work.
Lots of people in the world use **bleep**, and the country they identify with isn't always the country associated with their phone.
