Yeah, I’m in the uk and it was the default cc. I entered a us fictitious number, which gave that error. No variations of uk numbers, with or without the international prefix would work either. This was just the funniest of the validation errors.
And if it can validate international numbers, why ask for the country code separately?
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.
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?)

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

The second digit marks the beginning of the area code which cannot start with a 0
Oh wow, yeah I somehow didn’t see that… Thanks
If you want a fake number and in the UK look up the OFCOM tv number ranges. They are like the US 555 numbers valid but non connected in post cases.
