    The US number is not valid due to the following rules: “Using 0 or 1 as the first digit of an area code or central office code is invalid, as is a 9 as the middle digit of an area code; these are trunk prefixes or reserved for North American Numbering Plan expansion.“ *

    I’m sure you tried other numbers, but the number in the image fails due to that specific reason.

      Nice to know. It was the sites “e.g.” number under the input field so I just copied and pasted.

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but the 1 st the beginning here is the country code is it not? I don’t get why the number isn’t accepted (can someone in the UK from North America not keep using their number?)
